My sister wants to be an actress but she doesnt want anyone to know her?????

Question

so heres the deal. my 15 year old sister wants to be an actress BADLY. but we stay in a city and she has friends. well when she makes it big she doesnt want them to claim they knew her. i told her of course they're going to say they know you. i came to the conclusion that she wants to leave her old life behind and once she becomes famous she wants to start over new. she says they never really were her "true" friends and that she doesnt want them to want her to help them get their big start. she also says she doesnt want any of her friends to get famous. what is wrong with her? how can i communicate with her without sounding discouraging?

Answer 1

Well, I want to be an actress SO BAD as well, I am 11, and joined exploretalent.com, and that is helping me jumpstart a little bit since I  am still young, even if your sister does become reall famous, doesnt mean everyone she knows is going to become famous. Usually most people start to become famous when they have a new TV show, go on American Idol, be in movies, go on tour becasue of their singing etc, and  if your sister did acting, and she hung out with her friends, there are likely to be papparazi, and in the magazines they are just going to say what your sis is doing, shoppping, getting nails done, eating, etc with her friend. If she doesnt want her friends to be even mentioned, that is sort of selfish, becasue there are 100's of different actresses, and rising stars, and she has to share the spotlight. Ok, hope this helps, bye.

Wow, to be a child again, so naive, so conflicted, so self assured that it all matters.

   Forgive this,,, old life??? At 15 she HAS YET TO BEGIN LIFE.

   ONCE SHE BECOMES FAMOUS is certainly a noble dream, but hardly less than a possible lifetime of effort, and so many of us are "Legends in our own Mind"

   Finally, and again with no offense meant WANTING "BADLY" is totally incorrect.

Just my 2 "scents"

   Nope not quite finished" I notice part of a statement "WE STAY IN" and that is sooooooo ethnic.

Answer 3

She's young and obviously quite immature. But she shouldn't worry because it is not very likely that she is going to become a famous actress anyway...People who want to become famous are a dime a dozen...people who actually do become famous...much less...

Answer 4

Tell your sister the truth: The chances she'll "make it big" are about 1 in a million. It sounds like your sister doesn't really care about acting, but more about fame. Truth be told, this kind of attitude is going to get her nowhere, so she really doesn't have to worry about her "friends" saying they knew her.
