My parents support me with whatever I do, at least that is what they say. They sometimes say they do, but I can hear them talking in the other room and I have my doubts. I want to go to college for singing, but they won't take it seriously. They deleted my emails to sign up for this theatre club and I try to tell them but I can't work up the courage. I either want to go to college for singing or acting. What should I do?

I understand what your parents are saying. They really just want what's best for you and are afraid that you'll never find decent work as a theater/singing major.
Many colleges have acting or singing clubs that will allow you to pursue your dreams while still being grounded with a serious major. Reseach colleges and talk to some of the students to see what opportunities are out there.
Good luck in college.

Hey. My best friend was in the same situation. She made a compromise by majoring in Theatre education. She is able to do what she loves and also has a 'practical' path (teaching). She found out that she actually loves teaching the most and is planning on getting a second certification in Science, so you never know. Maybe you could think about doing that. :)

My son is in Uni doing degree in dance. He started this last September. He did not know how to say to me that he had applied to a dance school and that he had been given a place. When he found the courage to tell me he never thought that I was going to take it so well. This is my son's life. I only want him to be happy. If i were you I would stick with what you really want to do. Talk with your parents again. I hope they will understand you. I wish you all the very best.

When you have tough parents you hae to give them a plan. Tell them what singing means to you. Show them the road that it takes you on. They might think that you want to be rich and famous rather than use a talent that you have. Talk to them about broadway plays (if you want to do that) and also show them the different schools and companies that recruit from the university after graduation. Hopefully this helps

If you parents support you in what ever you do MAYBE that are trying to sheild you from YOUR truth? Can you REALLY sing? Are you any good? It's hard for a parent to tell their child they can't do something expecially if they are good parents but it even worst when a parent has to tell their child they are NOT good at something. Don't be the girl on American Idol that was surprised that you found out you really didn't have the "gift you though you had".

Dare To Dream &
Go For IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop Deleting those e-mails kiddo!!!!!!!!!!
If they dont want you to do it during school time- - ask them to compromise with summer theater and check into summerstock type programs at your school or other colleges that will give you an elective credit for participation.
I dont know where you live but......There are 2 really great ones in my neighboring town of Wichita,Ks.
Wichita State University- - - has an EXCELLENT theater program and FRIENDS UNIVERSITY has the Singing Quakers.
BOTH have produced world class entertainers.They have sites online-- check them out . Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For sure they want whats best for you, and you should be happy. They sound like reasonable people. So if you really are a responsible person, I am sure that you can come to a compromise. As you said your parents are supportive of you. So I dont think the problem is as big as you think.

COntact colleges and ask about scholarships that would help ease the costs. Show these to your parents and let them see you are putting alot of effort into this and maybe they will see that. Sit down with mom and dad and seriouly explain your feelings to them. Good luck. College is great.

All i can say is that is ****** up deleting your e mails you shouldint of let it open for them to get to it or change your pw yes they are your parents but dam if that is not an invasion of privacy i dont know what is i would rather have a rest room with no door and no shower curtain . well i hate to say this because it is ****** up for me to say this but i speak my mind if they delete that stuff they do not suppot you because they dont want you to have you dreams set with that becaseu they dont think you will be sucessful at it and dont want you to set your self up for failure
But hay if I were you I would respect what they are trying to do but at the same time keep your e mail private and re do the applications and dont speak to them about it do it your self so when you are sucessfull and making more money then they are.
you will know who to share your welth with. not them
