im going 2 be 13 soon and i want 2 try 2 go acting but my parents dont really support me,what should i do?

Question

i dont live near hollywood or anything,
i live in asia

Answer 1

My parents hated my being involved in acting, as well as dance and no one has really, truly ever supported my decision to make it a life-long pursuit just because *they* wanted something different for me.

Ask yourself if you REALLY want to act. If the answer is yes, then fight for it. You must look within yourself for support and forget about everyone else, because in the end it's you who must ultimately decide what you want in life otherwise you will be miserable and regret not trying.

Answer 2

Do you want to do it because you like acting, or because you think you will be rich and famous?

You have to do it for the right reasons, and maybe they pick up on that. Plus, you can't blame them; it's a VERY difficult way to make a living. Even if you do go into acting, you should still plan on going to college and learning a valuable "regular job" skill.
(I know, because I didn't follow this advice from my parents, and I'm paying for it now!)

The best thing is to just stop talking about your "dreams" so much with your parents, but actually take action.
Get into school plays, that's the best first start.

Answer 3

Well obviously who gives. Hate to say it, but i was in the exact opposite possition as you, my mother was a drama major, and i wanted to be in drama but wsnt quite sure about it. Now i've been on Speech/Drama/Debate for 2 years now and my freshman year was horrible, i never had a life, bcuz i was always traveling on tournaments every weekend, and my coaches wanted Speech to be #1 priority. Now I am glad i stuck with it because it have helped me in so many ways, it has developed ME, and who I am today, it looks amazing on a resemee and college applications, and helps you a lot with communication applications in life. So Try to tell your parents that not only is it something you really want to strive for, but that it will benefit you in many ways throughout your lifetime. Try that and GOOD LUCK!
