I want to do acting. EVERYTIME i try to talk to my parents Im laughed and told to stop being silly and to get real with something thatll pay the bills. THERES NOTHING ELSE I WANT TO DO. IM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THIS and cannout talk to them. Ill be 18 in dec. But I have no job--cant find one...theres nothing here in this dead ass town...so theyd be paying for all this and they say they dont wanna support me the rest of my life. WHAT CAN I DO? Theres no way out! NOTHING. Im so sick of them holding me back! I cant talk to them AT ALL without them getting pissed at me. And then when i get mad back in defense Im told im in a bad mood and need to be put on birth controll because im always in a bad mood. Ive been having bad stomach problems for the past year--its been a long year with fights with family and school--and everyone thinks its just heartburn--i think i have an ulcer because of my parents. There causing me so much problems..and theres no way out. Everything i do..is never good enough..anytime something wrong me..its nothing a pill cant handle.

Although you really want to act, there is no guarantee that you will be able to support yourself like that. Plus, if you give your life to acting completely right now, when that falls through, you will be left with nothing. If you are at least working towards a more stable fall-back, maybe your parents will support your acting. Shutter Bug Posted at 2:23 pm on Nov. 10, 2006 oo err... live in london.
