Okay ever since i was in like the 3rd grade i wanted to be a fashion designer adn now im in 7th and im not so sure i want to do that now. I know its early to be talking about this but idc.My mom wants me to go to art school because ima great drawer and my dad just wants me to be happy but I also love cooking but idk if i have what it takes to open a resturaunt. I also love fashion adn clothes shopping. And when i have kids i want to be there for them alot. I should do something that will make my parents proud of me because my parents look at me as like the perfect child because my 20 year old brother almost died from overdoing crack and dropped out of college but never really liked school anywaysbut he has a good job now and a reallly great girlfriend(but this isnt about my brother). there im done. sry if its long.

you should listen to your mum... do the arts.. go into fashion.. you don't need to take up cooking professionally just coz you enjoy it.. you can always enjoy it even without becoming a restaurant owner/chef...like, one day you can experiment and become one of the best cooks for your kids and stuff....
but if u wanna make em proud, do something that's really got a chance of gettin you somewhere good - fashion / design

Keep going to the regular schools. Some schools have art groups and theatre groups and home ec (where you learn different skills - like sewing something that will serve you well if you want to be a fashion designer). You are still young and this is a time for growth and exploration - even more so in college. If you stay away from crack and other drugs your parents will be proud of you. But just keep your mind open to lots of other things that you can do in life that will allow you to be around your children if and when you have some. Don't be in such a hurry to group up. I think the reason your mother wants you in an art school is because you did at one time express an interest in drawing and being a fashion designer. Talk with your parents and let them know that you are thinking that you are interested in other fields. See if they can get you some time with people in those fields, just to see what is involved. Good Luck.

I was an exceptional artist in middle and high school so I always assumed that art school was just what everyone expected me to do. I graduated with a double bachelors in fine art and design after alot of hard work only to realise the same things you are now. I want to spend time with my family and be happy. Feeling like I was making a difference was more important than money and a big corperate job. I'm getting my masters in education now so I can teach, that gives me summers off and time with my soon to be children. The trick is, there will be alot of pressure from other people to be sucessfull, but sucess isn't always making money and impressing your family. It's finding a job and a balance that makes you happy. You have alot of time to find out what it is you want to do, make careful decisions when it comes to what college you go to based on your desires rather than anyone elses.

i somewhat want to be a fashion designer too. i'm going into ninth grade and i have about a million sketches. it really depends what you want to design. no woman wants to buy lingerie with a 13 year old face on the tag. i'd start out with some sketches and submit them to a designer site. i don't blame your parents for wanting the best out of you from what i hear of your brother. just do something to make yourself proud. it should be if you're happy, they're happy.

First of all don't do anything because of your parents, because of your aunts, uncles, etc. When you think about your future think only about how to express yourself, how to spend your life so that in 20 or 30 years you could look back and say: yes, I went for it, I haven't wasted any time and I followed my calling. I wish you all the best and remember: take one step at a time. Good luck!

First off, you're only in 7th grade. You have plenty of time to think about it.
Don't let your parents tell you what to do, because later in life you will regret it.
Listen to your heart and do what you WANT to do.
Your parents will be proud of you no matter what profession you go in, so long as you are happy, and stay true to yourself.

The god thing is that you still have time to decide but try to find something that make you feel complete think first in what do you really want and when you decided go for it .

You just continue to follow your own interests and don't worry about the parental or peer pressure to become something you might not want to be.
My mother was forced into the profession of nursing by her mother and she regrets it still.

well, both choices have difficult paths...it is difficult to make it big in any path...
choose the one you want badly, and think you have most talent in, be it fashion design or cooking...
who said you can't do both in your lifetime?
in the end, your mum and your dad just want you to be happy and be successful in life...
just be who you want to be...and take things easy...take long walks...or just sit by the beach...the answer will come...see how it goes
