Answer 1

If you think you have enough talent and determination to make it in the theatre, and this is what you really want to do, then I say go for it. Acting is a good way to start a career, and some actors like Clint Eastwood and Diane Keaton, Kevin Costner and even Mel Gibson move on to directing and even writing and producing, and that, in my opinion, is not a waste of a brain. It's actually very flourishing.

New York City may have its share of crime, but it's no different than other cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Miami, or even Toronto and Winnipeg. As for all actors being terrible, imoral people, nothing can be further from the truth. Sure, there may be bad seeds like Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, but not every actor, producer, director, singer, etc, is that way. There are some who give back to their communities and act as good role models for their fans. You just have to put these certain celebs into your network. Maybe once you've made it as an actress, you can form your own charity or organization. This may be something you can use to persuade your parents.

If your parents are really dead set against this, the best advice I can offer is to distance yourself from them and other non-supportive family members until you can prove that you can make it on your own in the theatre. Not all parents are right about certain ambitions they object, unless they themselves have lived it, and are living proof that the career choices you're making are, in fact, dangerous to you. Some women who were models in the 70's and 80's wouldn't want the same for their daughters because they lived through such things like anorexia and the pressure to be thin, etc. and they want better for their girls. However, it seems your parents have no vaild reason for their objections to you being in the theatre. I think it's their way in keeping you their little girl, and they can't really do that if you have or just about to hit age 18, and can make your own decisions.

Thank you for your time, and I hope you can take this advice into your consideration.
