See, I wanna be a singer-songwriter. I think I have a wonderful and brilliant songs. I can play the recorder, sorta the piano, and I've thought about the drums and have given the guitar a shot before. But, my mom says it is very difficult to get into the msuic biz so until I could make that work it can only be a hobby! Well, guess what? I go after what I want! Although, she and my dad said I would have to have singing lessons. And they've also told me they're insanely expensive!! When I mentioned a few weeks ago I wanted to take singing lessons, she just smiled and rolled her eyes! I've never had full encouragment from anyone, I believe. But I'm strong enough to put my dreams in action! I will save up for years if I have to to take singing lessons and become the star I know I'm meant to be! But, is that a worthy goal? Or should I JUST stick to writing books (like I always do)?

I think if you really want it then put your heart into it and strive for it! I think you can do it Good luck! xoxo kerra

Hi! My parents are also a little bit negative about what I want to do. When I grow up I want to be a writer,musician, and if posible,be a marine biologist. They tell me that they want me to study business management because the job in which you earn the most is by being the owner of a business, but I tell them I do not care about money, that I care of living my life the best I can doing what I love. Help?

Also, my parents are kind of negative of what I want to be, which is a scriptwriter or novelist. They're concerned that I'm not going to be able to make enough money to live on. But I don't really care about money, honestly, I could careless. All I want to do is be able to write cause I love it, even if it means working several different jobs. How can I tell this to my parents and help them to understand my point? THANKS SO MUCH!! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!

Hey girlie, only time will help them understand that. And even if you don't care if you're making money, you still need to find something to pay the bills. You could double major in something else in college so you have something to fall back on and your parents will be happier.

MOD!MOD!MOD!~ hi okay so i realllly want to do acting-like disney shows acting or movies but i really don't know how to get started with everything. there's an acting program that alot of people around my town go to but there's one problem- money. my family is going through alot of financial problems right now and there's no way that they could pay for that so now i'm left clueless and i need help!! i really want to be on like a disney show but that just seems so...out there and impossible! please help!

Hey missy, mhmm maybe you could talk to the people who run the program and ask them if you can intern or volunteer with them. That way you won't have to pay for anything and can still sit in the acting classes. Be sure you have at least four monologues, that are different that way you can show your range in auditions. Start looking auditions for plays and shows in your area. That way you'll have some experience under your belt. Hope this helps ya!!!

MOD- Im afraid if I decide to get a boyfriend this year my parents will freak. Im 13. HELP!

Hey chica.

Before you start the school year, talk to your parents about boyfriends. Set up some rules about when they think you can start dating and what they expect out of both you and him. What they say goes, but that doesn't mean you can't try to reason with them. Good luck!

i've been really depressed lately. i have been so hard on myself and it's only my second day at school. also my brother makes me feel really stupid all the time and i tried to get him to stop, but he denies it. and there's a whole bunch of of other problems at home. is it normal to be sad all the time? I can't stand feeling depressed any more and i think i might have depression because it runs in my family. how do i tell if i have it? sorry for the long question.

Thats no good! i know its tough but it will honestly et better. My suggestion for you is going to your school guidance counselor and talking to them. Getting your feelings out, maybe on a daily basis (or weekly) may help you a ton. So see what you can arrange with them xoxo kerra
