i want to be an actress, but nobody supports me Options

[wishonthestars]

I've always wanted to be an actress. I could care less about the fame and fortune, just doing something that is enjoyable and lets you express emotions in someone elses shoes. But the problem is, my family doesn't think I can do it. I'm scared to confront them and tell them that this is what I want to do because I know in the end they'll end up saying I can't make it. I've held on to this dream for years (mind you im only 13) and even though they bring me down I keep coming back for it. My mother has seen me act and even admits that I'm exceptional. When I was younger I used to always roleplay on neopets boards (I still do) and do make up plays with my brother and sister. After all this determination, I'm still shot down by my family. I think that they may be trying to help me instead of hurt me but they have to understand I will not give up. I tell them this but nothing works.

Do you think the problem is within me? Advice please.
And don't be harsh, I'll understand without rude comments.

you sound like me when i was 12.

the acting industry is tough. and its not all what you expect it to be. it can be really hard sometimes and disappointing. if you really wanna do it, then start taking some acting classes and searching for acting agents. when i started doing some actualy acting(like infront of camera and stuff) i realized that its not what i expected it to be. but thats just me, if you wanna do it, go for it.
