So i don't go to her for anything. But then she wonders why i don't go to her! I really want to take acting lessons and possibly model. i also kind of want to be in a pagent. i just can't get up the guts to tell my mom this. what if she doesn't think i should? HELP PLEASE!

Somebody whom you get on with in your family who will listen and talk to your mom about this?
They will ask why you don't you talk to your mum and you know the answer to that question since you wrote down!! Then they will talk to your mum and then when she approaches you, you cna talk it out with her because it won't be news to her and the two of you can talk on the same level.
The reason why she gets invovled isn't because she's nosy, it's because she wants to help her daughters as much as possible and see what they're doing in their lives. She's there to help and support you in anyway she wants and to respect the desicions which you make.

But you shouldn't doubt your mom, she mosty likely wants to be involved in your life, and if you bring up the things that you want to do, she'll take it that you also want her to be closer to you, and she can bond with you over this. How will you know how your mom feels if you don't talk to her about it, or at least mention it? I know that that's going to be hard and it's gonna take a lot of guts to do it [in your case] but what else can you do? Just bring it up and hope for the best, give your mom the benefit of the doubt. But before you say anything to her, do the research on the topic, like where you can get acting classes near you and all of that, then present her with all of your information. I'm positive that she'll take you more seriously and be up for the idea since you did the hard work to find all of the info without her holding your hand through it all.
Good luckk and have fun :] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
