Hello. My name's Amanda and I'm 15 and from New York. I've loved the spotlight since I was a very little girl and I can't think of a time when I wasn't entertaining someone. My main interests are dancing and acting but I also do a lot of singing and modeling too. I remember being a little girl and singing and dancing around the house and I'm always getting complimented on my acting and modeling skills, haha. Of course I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but it's just the truth and I want you to know the truth before you go and give me advice. Anyways, I've been taking dance classes since I was about 5 or so and when I was in 3rd grade I started singing in a children's choir along with getting vocal training. I sung in the choir untill I was 13 and now I've moved on to other things. I'm searching for an agent right now and I've begun taking acting classes. The reason I'm writing here is because I need advice on my parents. They don't seem to support me as much as they used to. I mean, they're awesome parents but they think I should be more focused on becoming a lawyer or doctor(which I have no interest in) then becoming an entertainer or someone in the entertainment industry. I don't understand why they're acting so cold lately towards my dreams. I know that it takes a lot of work to become something but I'm willing to work hard for it and I just wished they had my back. Also, my friends seem to think that my vocal and acting training and stuff is silly and they don't see why I go on auditions and stuff. It really hurts when they mock me for what I do...I know they don't mean to hurt me but I don't like it at all. Most of my friends are really big jocks and so am I but I'm a very verstile(sp?) person and I like other things too and they can't seem to understand that. Anyone have any advice? I'd love someone to talk with about this! Thanks for reading, Amanda (link)

wow..you sound..exactly like me. i sing, dance, and act.. mostly singing tho. i no EXACTLY what you are talking about!!! and right, it does take a lot of work, but.. my parents are the same way about it.. maybe its not that they dont support you, they just think that you should have a backup..thats what my parents are like. cuz im mean..think about it: not everyone can just walk right up on stage and become jessica simpson. and if your like me.. and like it says in your question..if your wiling to work hard and really stick to it, you should do fine. but like i said..not everyone who has amazing talent gets somewhere with it... so keep on trying, reach for the stars..but also and ALWAYS have a backup job. i really hope the best for you.. please e-mail me back telling me how/if i helped you.. xolepetitox@aol.com thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
