How can I tell mum that I want to be a film director?
13/f
I really want to be a film director, and I havn't told my mum. She has always said that I can do any job I want as long as I am happy. But I can tell she just doesn't mean it. She wants me to do acedemic stuff and keeps hinting that I should do something to do with maths or science (even though she knows I hate the subjects). It's annoying cos I know for a fact that when she was younger she hated maths and science herself, and wanted to do something creative.
She hates the media, she thinks everyone involved in it are sad and attention-seeking. Whenever she talks about it makes me feel really hurt cos I want to be a film director more than anything in the world and that's to do with the media.
I'm only 13, so it might not seem like a problem, but we're choosing our options at the moment so she keeps asking me what subjects I want to take and what I want to do when I'm older. I just keep saying I don't know, even though I do, because I know she wouldn't like the truth.
I just don't know what to do. I can't keep it a secret from her forever. Any ideas?

Hey,
Just be honest! As long as you're happy, she should be too. She also should be more acceptive of the fact that you REALLY want to do this.
But, keep in mind, that, yes, you are 13. You still have a long way to go-consider other options if worse comes to worse.
Hope everything goes swell! :P
