Hi. I am a young teen. Well this is not a crisis but I have this thing that has been bothering me for years now. Okay, firstly I am obsessed with music. Since I was 10-11 years old. Everyone loves music, who doesn't! ;) But for me, its different. I've been writing poetry and short stories since I was 8 years old. I cant explain it but music is a part of who I am. I always have wanted to learn the guitar and some other instruments. My family is more intrested in my studies and me becoming a doctor etc. I would like to be a doctor too. Music as a job or future is unstable, unpredictable and not a good choice (i think) But no one understands how much I would like to concertrate on music. I feel embarrassed when I talk about learning instruments etc. We all dream of being on tv and we all want to do something with music. I want to pursue something in music. I love the message you can spread with music. Even if it is impossibe for me to do anything with this passion, I could make my own music and entertain family and friends. What should I do about this obsession?
Also I do not want to leave my mothers wish and my deep desire to be a doctor. Forming a band or something like that is something my family makes fun about so i dont talk about it. Also my friends think I live in some fantasy land cuz of this obsession and passion.They say that I should not spend time on this and concertrate on studiies, and that hobbies are useless (ones like mine) I have the passion, I have the desire, I dont think I am so bad in this category. What should I do? Leave this fantasy and just keep this obsession to a minimum in my heart?
I would gretaly oblige if you helped me out here (:
Music maniac :P :)
hope ur not confused

You have a desire and passion and your family should be able to respect your decisions in everyway they should support you if you wanna do music in yourlife. Your studies are important to, shouldn't put that to one side neither hun.
Your mother wants you to be a doctor right? but ask yourself this are you happy with that? do you actually want to study to be a doctor?.. if you wanted that you would have chosen to do that from way back.
Since where all at a very young age we all have like an idea of what we want in life, i wasn't so sure and i'm 17 still at this point i don't know what i fully wanna be but what i'am concerned of is that i wanna do something that is based with art or design i absolutly love it. To be what you wanna be in life you have to put all your effort into this, just cause you love something its not an obssesion its part of who you are inside it comes within you.
Don't feel embaressed about what you dream it's narutal everyone has dreams ... so do i :) i wanna have my own company one day.
If i was you I would tell my parents that even though you know they want the best for you in life , they have to understand where you are coming from.. choose a particular category in which you wanna study music . I wouldn't give up that easily neither if i was you !
Your situation is sticky cause your unaware of what you want ... like to me i know you love music from what you told me but you also desire to be a doctor? give it some time to see what you want .. talk to someone who has the same interest as you , like for example myself i love art and design but i want to do modelling always been a desire to do that but i can't do it now until i have completed all my studies . Without good grades in life you won't get anywhere.
