Always, always follow your dream. But remember, following your dream does not necessarily mean giving everything else up. Even people in Hollywood go to college, and there opportunites there to sing while in college as well -- sometimes more. Certain universities are centered around music and the off-campus scene provides plenty of opportunites to sing in; clubs, etc.
Try out for American Idol. Assume you will make it, don't feel nervous or act shy. Act like you will make it from the moment you stand in line. Remember, there is always room for blubbering later and you need to think positive until your very last breath. You can approach a lot of things in life this way and they generally turn out better than if you hold your insecurities in your pocket.
Do go to college, it is your insurance in life. This next part is not discourage you, because I perform too, but the chances that a person will "make it" in music, statistically, are less than winning the lottery. That is nothing personal, it's just numbers. But if you have talent, go for it, and people do make it in music.
Just stick with the back-up plan (college). If nothing else, you will know you tried and not be some bitter old woman when you grow up, always wondering, "What if I did ... " do this or that.
And most of all, sing because you love it -- not for glory, not for the wealth. Focus on the people you are singing to, not yourself. When you exude positive energy, something will come back to you, it might not be in the form of a music contract, but something will. The world loves enthusiasm and energy.
Good luck and have fun!

yea. i agree with the previous answer, find a school for music to pursue your singing, and talk to your counselor. if you dont already take singing/vocal lessons.

i would try and find a music school to help your pursue your singing career.. i don't think american idol is the best bet for someone who wants to be serious about singing and i think you should talk to your school counselor and see whaat schools he/she suggests for music. good luck!

you could always do american idol,because that will at least get you some publicity.also,you could sing in things like church and school choirs.i no it sounds wierd,but thats where alot of really famous singers started off.school plays also hope a ton.you could go to college and major in theater.if you try hard enough and follow your heart,you will get discovered.good luck.=D

i too would love to be a singer, i just don't know where to start.
i think possibly you should attend college & major in something, so you'd have a backup in case the singing career was a downfall.
it's a good idea to attend american idol, thats probably the one place you would get noticed.
& it's also a good idea to talk to your school counselor because they would know exactly which direction to point you to =)
