Answer 1

easy easy

continue to talk about this with your parents once in a while.

if this is a phase, it will disappear in a meantime

if this is not, your parents will get it soon

Answer 2

If you truely think you have the talent to act make your first performance work for you. Use your acting talent to get what you want from your family. Act your heart out to please your family and be like them so they won't treat you mean. Put on the best performance of your life even if it isn't real. Amaze your family until they accept you and want what you want. Be truly passionate playing the part even if it isn't real. If you become the daughter they want you to be even if you are acting you will get what you want. Then someday when you are a real Superstar you can tell them it was all an act just to get where you are. They will be impressed. If fact this very thing happened in real life to a well known actor today. All the world's a stage and the better you are at acting the more you can get what you want from people. Do you have the talent? Time will tell. And so what even if it doesn't work it will be great practice and a good learning experience. Good Luck

Act your butt off hun..!! Do what you want. don't let other people bring you down. Even if they are your blood. Audition for school plays. Take acting classes. Join drama club. They can't really stop you. If you go to school and stay after for clubs and such what can they posibly do..? I say if you truly are passionate you'll find a way to do what you love.

Answer 4

Please find the courage to speak up, both to your parents and to the drama teacher at school.  Do what you are passionate about.  I hope your parents do not discourage you.

I am thinking of a movie in which a character in high school wants to act but was being pushed into being a doctor by his overbearing father.  It is called "Dead Poets Society" with Robin Williams.  Rent it, but be prepared for a sad end for that boy.  You do not want to wind up that way.

Answer 5

Doesnt matter what they think! All that matters is what you want. Keep acting and when you're older you might become a star! And then you're parents will finally understand and treat you differently. If you really want them to know that you mean it try to show them you love to act. Hopes I helped :) Goodluck! And when you become a star DONT FORGET MEE!!..even though you dont know me xD heehee

Answer 6

Maybe it is a phase. Try to understand where they're coming from. However if you really are passionate about this, ask for their support. Ask them if you can sign up for some plays or acting classes to get you started.

Answer 7

If you can't explain your passion for acting to your parents, just show them. Act every chance you get. Take part in plays. Soon they will see your dedication and will realize that if they pay for acting classes they will not be throwing their money away. More opportunities will follow. Respect your parents but don't let them dictate what is possible for you and what is not.
