I want to act--how can I get my dad to accept that?

Question

its what I want to do--its my dream

Answer 1

I think your dad would accept your acting dream if you make it a point to also show him that you're doing other things to ensure a good future in case acting doesn't work out. I know that when you have a dream, you'd rather die than admit that it might not turn out, but your father knows how hard it can be to support yourself and possibly a family someday if you don't have something in place, such as education, etc. What I would do if I were you is say, "Dad, acting is what I want to do with my life, but I know it is a good idea to have something to fall back on, so I am planning on keeping up with my studies and going to college while I try to pursue my acting career." I think this will show your dad that you are mature and responsible and that you'll be all right, no matter what you do. That's all he wants is to know you have a secure future. Good luck-er, break a leg!!

Answer 4
