Non Supportive Parents Options

[*My Cinderella.*]

So, are your parents the type that don't appreciate anything that you do? Or don't support what you want to do or be when you grow up? My parents are. They don't support my whole acting idea of a career and want me to do something more "productive". Anyone else feel the same way?

Respect them... hmmmm, well then you need to have a talk with them. SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEM. Tell them how you really feel. Say everything your thinking. Tell them you need them to sit down and listen to you for once. Tell them that you don't want to be what they want you to be. Yeah, it will dissapiont them, but its more respectful then letting them waste all thier time molding you into this thing that will never become.


NOW LET ME ASK...
do your parents respect you?

I remmeber sitting down with my dad while all the bullshit i was pulling was comming to an end... we were sitting at the kitchen table yelling at eachother when he finnaly looked down at his dinner and asked me, "Josh, I know you are so much smarter than this... how come you are getting such low grades?"
I replied, "I know it's bad for my life... I just hate how you always try to control me, and mold me into this person that you want me to become... I know you do it becuase you love me, but... I hate how everything I do is never good enough... I have never felt like you cared until now... There's almost no incentive to get good grades... When I get good grades you don't say anything, and I feel like it doesn't matter... I feel like i don't matter... When I get bad grades... At least you talk to me..."

I think it was then that my dad started to understand me... He stopped turning me into this perfect thing that he always tried to mold me into... Instead he made an awsome attept to accept me for who I am, yet encourage me to do better... My relationship with my parents is incredible...
