Answer 1

follow you're dreams..you migh regret not doing what you want with your own life if u be a doc..it's no use doing something you don't like..my parents want me to be a doc too but i quit pre-med..they'll be pissed when they find out :P  

Answer 2

The entertainment industry is very fickle.  I saw continue singing and dancing, but also study your math and science.  If you don't make it as a singer you can still eat.  Besides, med schools like well rounded applicants.  So saying yo sing and dance on your apps will probably help.

Answer 3

and i want to be a professional footballer but my dad wants me to apply for nasa and my mother wants me to go into politics decisions decisions decisions,

Answer 4

Be what you wanna be :-)

Answer 5

I thought they wanted you to be a doctor???

Well..anywho...they probably want to see you do something that is more reliable and realistic.  Making ANY good money off of singing and dancing is very difficult.  And half the time, doesn't work out.

here is a good website for statistics & wage on becoming a musician.

Now...compare that to the statistics & wage on becoming a doctor..http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291069...    and you'll see why your parents want that for you.  They are just looking out for you.

Answer 6

Hun, you're only going into 6th grade, relax!

So, wait... do your parents want you to be a doc or a singer? your details don't match the question.

Tell your parents it's going to be YOUR life, and you can go to whichever college you want.

But be sure to actually GO to college!

Hope I helped!!!

Answer 7

Follow your dreams. Haha. I would say so waht you wanna do, but before you do that look at the facts.

Singing and dancing (if you don't reach the big leagues) really doesn't pay that much. Being a doctor, will pay loads. Sure, you might find it boring, but you'll have money. If you super squeemish, don't be the doctor. Or, if you can't handle seeing hurt people. Plus, if you can't save them, you'll have that burden and bearing the depressing news to the family. [Gah, I know I'm not really helping.]

Althought you might not want to admit it, your parents might know what's best.
