I am very sorry that your mother is not supportive. I think that it is wonderful at such a young age you have dreams and aspirations for your future. Do not let anyone take that away from you. I honestly do not understand why she would not support something that means this much to you. Stay in school and keep your sights set on your future. You sound like such a smart girl; be proud of yourself!

Watch American Idol when the season first starts and somehow understand that not all people have what it takes to sing, dance, or be a fashion designer.
1) Learn better grammar so you can actually fill out an application and write up a resume without all the goofy jargon you use.
2) Your Mother isn't the problem. You have to look at her side of the issue and become fully aware of her concerns... And in a mature way have a discussion with her so you can "educate her" with all the wealth of knowledge you have about fashion designing. (Which isn't spelled "fashoin")
3) Take the emotion out of your topic and learn how to remain calm and relaxed instead of as if this is the end of the world.
4) If you were really serious about becoming a fashion designer the first step is talking to school counselors about prospective colleges and programs in which you can learn the trade from.

At 13, you have to know that you're going to quit a lot of things over the next decade. You are also going to start a lot of new things too, and you're going to find out what you LOVE to do, versus what you THINK you want to do. Be it fashion or not, don't let anyone (even your mom) try to tell you that you can't be a designer. If you want to, you have a shot at it. Try to do what you love right now. It might change. It would be great to have a supportive mom, but, if it makes it any easier to know - my mother always told me there was no hope in me building a career in what I'm doing today. As cheesy as it is: believe in yourself. And your mom is not "mental" - she just cares about you.
Good luck.

Okay, first...don't let anyone tear down your dreams. Is your mom seriously mentally ill? Do you have any other adults around that you can tell? If she just wants to stop you from being a designer and that's why she threw out your designs...I don't LIKE to tell someone to go against their parents wishes, but I would keep designing and hide them somewhere.
Secondly, go to this site; www.waynescotlukas.com. Ask Wayne what it takes to be a fashion designer. He's a very nice guy and he'll be glad to tell you. He's styled some EXTREMELY famous people.

Your mom doesn't seem to be supportive of your career choice. On the other hand, you're pretty young to be set on a career, and you are clearly unsure that it's what you want to do. Do you really think your mom is mentally ill? If so, is there a counselor at your school who could help you to get her some help? Or is she just angry at you about something? If so, what could it be and what could you do to fix it? Is it about your designs or something more general?
If you do continue with plans for a career in the fashion industry, I wish you luck. Please correct your spelling of "fashion."

What is a "mental" person?
Is that someone who only exists "mentally" in your own head?
You are 13.....just do what she tells you til you're 18. Hide any designs you draw from her, and just try to get along with her.
Hon, life at 13 only SEEMS so hard.....just enjoy being a kid, because you'll wish you could go back someday, and you can't.
Trust me--the problems you have now are NOTHING to the problems you'll face in ten years--that's why you HAVE them, so you can get strong!
