Never give up on life. No matter how bad it may seem. One thing that got me through hard times was thinking "Things can't get any worse, so things can only get better." I experienced a very similar thing with my parents when I was younger. I told my dad I wanted to become an actress, and he pretty much told me to grow up and reach for something attainable. My advice to you is this; It is your life. At the end of the day you are the one that has to live with your decisions and actions. Do what makes YOU happy. If singing and acting is something you feel passionate about, then do everything you can to succeed. And if you don't, well at least you will have peace of mind that you tried, and you won't spend your life wondering "What if."



I also grew up with quite a bit of family issues. Talking to someone really helped me through this. If you are seriously considering ending your life, you should seek help right away. I have personal experience with suicide, both with myself and with a close friend. I understand how you are feeling. The unhappiness you feel gets so strong that it over powers your will to live. I lived for two years like that. Where every day I would think to myself "I can't do this anymore. I can't live feeling this way anymore." I promise you it gets better. I'm 26 now, and I still struggle at times with depression, but my life is so much better now. I was prescribed anti-depressants, and although I am not big on medication, it was life changing for me. I know there are days where life just seems impossible, but think about all the people in your life and what it would do to them if you were to commit suicide.

I'm sorry you're feeling so stressed and discouraged right now. You're at a time in life when the big decisions can feel overwhelming, but I promise that life can be a great adventure, no matter which paths you choose. (I'm much older, and while my life is not what I dreamed it would be when I was your age, it has definitely been full and happy.)



Besides your parents, do you have other mentors who can help guide and encourage you? People who know you well are often in a great position to help you identify and develop your unique gifts. Also, you mentioned hoping for a miracle - have you asked God for His help and guidance? You can't go wrong with that!



Whatever you do, I believe there's great hope for your future. Hugs & prayers!

I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. Let me first provide a toll-free 24/7 helpline for those who are feeling suicidal:



1-800-273-TALK (8255).



The music/theatre/entertainment industry is supposed to be especially competitive. Those who are pursuing a career in that field will most likely have to deal with a lot of rejection, which can be very wearing on one's self-esteem and self-confidence. Perhaps that's partly why your parents are so reluctant to support those career aspirations.



Please also keep in mind that you're still so young at almost 20 years of age. You're actually just starting out in life, so please try not to get discouraged and comparing yourself with your peers :)



You'd mentioned having a lot of family problems. It's a good idea to make an appointment with a licensed mental health professional to start dealing with any past or current issues. Please also schedule an appointment with your family doctor just to *rule out* certain health issues which may result in weight gain and/or hair loss, including thyroid dysfunction.



This website may have some local counseling agencies:



http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/ and can type one's zip code or state of residence into search.



For those who are interested in acting/theatre and/or the music industry, this website has a link for accredited schools (though, with *no* guarantee as to finding work afterwards, and please forgo those for-profit schools):



http://arts-accredit.org/ and can click "directory lists," then click "accredited institutional members" and can scroll down the page to search.

I know sometimes your parents are wrong about things too because they're all people. By asking you to focus on your studies, they were enforcing that they want you to be successful because studying is the easiest way to succeed. But I totally understand where your coming from. If your dream even as a little girl was to be a singer or actress, and you still have that urge to be one, I think you should work hard to do what you want and with that anger you have for your parents, succeed and show them what you are capable of! I know it can be frustrating at times but just think this was an obstacle God gave you to make you into a better person! so just get over this and you'll be there!

Just because all these things make your life worse, just think about nothing, let it all be deleted for a second and only good things are filtered into your brain. Think about the dreams you've had, wanting to become an actor. You can be whatever you like, but at the end of the day you're still you and you have to not only accept it, but embrace it. You should feel proud that you've gotten through the days of hardship. Think back to yourself, how did I survive that? Not from anything else but what kept you going. Remember what it was and you'll end up living life to the fullest, not giving a care bear to the rest of the world. Now that I've said this, I can even use this for my own advice! Just remember what kept you going.

To be a successful singer, one that makes money at least to pay his or her bills, you have to be very good.



They are countless singers, and actors in Los Angeles. I don't know where you are – but you really do have to have a backup plan.



You are also saying something about family stress – if you were a singer, you will face with much more stress, from your manager, from your fans, even from paparazzi. How are you going to handle that, when you cannot even handle this. You need to be realistic and sensible about what you want to do.

Your age doesn't have much to do with a singing career. It's a very good idea to focus on your studies. A career in 'singing' is very difficult to achieve. You need something else to do to support yourself until you make it. It takes more dedication than you seem to have. Everyone has family problems. If you want this dream, dig in and work at it.

Well, your "chance" can come through singing competitions like American Idol and The Voice. If you don't have enough confidence to try out for shows like that, then a public career like singing might not be right for you anyway. People who want something badly enough don't quit when the going gets tough. Look at Madonna -- she moved to New York, got raped, posed nude for photographers to support herself, didn't have a great voice and now she's a legend. She was persistent and never gave up on herself.

If you’re still breathing, then there’s still hope! – In the words of the uberwise Kung Fu Panda “Yesterday’s history, tomorrow’s a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present”. Now, you can’t get cross at me for how corny that is, it was uttered by a panda. No one can be mad at pandas, they’re way too cute!





Seriously though, you need to understand that if there’s still life left in your body, then no matter how bad you feel right now your purpose in this world is not complete. There is an incredible plan for you, you’ve just wandered away from the path a little bit! I get it I have been there so many times I’ve lost count, but I have also taken my own and other very smart and loving people’s advice and just kept on breathing. Eventually you will find your way through! Dory had it right all along!









Yes, I am quoting cartoons an awful lot in this post, but you know what? When my 2 year old falls down, even when he has really hurt himself you want to know what he does? He picks himself up, runs over to either myself or his daddy and presents us with his injury. He expects us to press a gentle kiss upon the ‘owie’ so that it can be made all better and he can continue on his way.



Yes, life is really that simple! It really does come down to a few very simple points.



Stuff Happens – It can really suck sometimes, it can make you cry, it can even make you bleed, but if it doesn’t kill you, then I guess that means you’re not out of the game yet. Awesome!



Take your ‘owie’ to the right people – Can you imagine what would happen if my child took his injury to another injured and crying child instead of coming to his parents? It would turn into the loudest, saddest, most unhappy place in the playground! A hurting child will not have sympathy and tenderness required to care for another hurting and crying child. Instead they will feel the need to cry even louder to ensure that the real caregivers can hear them and help. Don’t try to get the help you need from someone who is in the same place as you are! Take yourself to the people who have what you need to get yourself through this time!



Once you have what you need, don’t just sit there afraid of getting hurt again – get back out there and laugh and play! Simply enjoy the feeling of the wind in your hair as you go down the slide, or the giddiness of the merry-go-round. Life happens in the simple pleasures. If you have forgotten that, then you will forever feel that you lack what you need to live a happy and joy filled life.



A smile changes everything and everything can change with a smile. Start there and the rest will follow.



Don’t give up. The best is yet to come!

Well sorry to tell you this but that is all part of life. You must accept the good and bad circumstances in your life. You are only a young person. The best thing to do is accept your situation and finish school. Then look for a good a job that pays the bills until you are in a better financial position to complete your main goal. No one is born a movie star, a president, director, writer, singer, architect, lawyer, or Olympic sportsperson.



Focus on the now. Don't waste time whining or complaining about your family. Stay optimistic. Make an effort to stay in control of your emotions. Sometimes, it maybe necessary not to divulge your ambitions or goals to your relatives. All you need to prove to yourself is that you can do anything you want. But it may take a few years to achieve those goals.

You are still young. I started college when I was 20 and I had a son when I was 17. I felt the same way ,but if you stay focused on your dreams like I do you can do anything. It's going to be hard ,but if you keep moving and stay motivated, you will feel like it's so close you can almost taste it. Having my son was not an easy thing to do and people always judge the teen mom, but I don't care what people think, not even my family when it comes to judging me. Love me for who I am and what I want to do. To end my story I finished high school half year early because I had good enough grades and credit, I got a full time job and go to school full time to become a forensic scientist. Be strong and don't let ANYONE get in your way ;they can be by your side if they want or stay behind. YOU CAN DO IT! :D

My friend, Giving up with your life is not a solution. I know some time your parents are strict about studies and some other things but trust me your parents have faced so many troubles for giving you a better life and if they are strict with you it only means they don't want you to face any trouble in your life. I am also 23. I also don't like sometime when my parents oppose my decision believe my i never like that. but when i thing about it and ask from my heart deep inside I always know they are right and they are always standing with me in my all troubles. you can become a singer and anyone can become anything if he want. Just wake up buddy and start giving every possible effort to make you dream come true. if you have a true faith in your dream it will come true very soon and let me clear one thing to you if you decide to die. It's just a proof that you are not a good fighter. Don't prove yourself a coward. This is your day and you are hero here. It's in your hand to become a hero or a coward.

Life is gift. Life is the one thing in the universe that holds true intrinsic value. There are a lots of reasons you should never give up on life no matter what-

1. This may be all there is

2. There is always – and I mean always – a solution to any problem.

3. Success is inevitable for those who are smart and don’t give up.

4. A helping hand can always be found if needed

5. What gives life meaning is the struggle that we live through.

6. You are capable of having full control over your reality.

7. There is a purpose for each of us waiting to be found.

To live is to be potential of creating change. And like this image.

Don't give up on you. Now that you are grown, you are free to carry that out. Parents I know mean well, but sometimes I think they should stop seeing their kids in their own lives. SO many things they don't like and they hinder their kids from doing it. They don't to lie what the parents like. They are all different people. That's natural. They look at them and see themselves too much. They need to see the person for who they are. That's why so many kids rebel when they get a certain age when it comes to their style and character. They are not the parents all over again. They are their own person. Not that they should because God says we are to always respect our parents even when we are grown. They should always try to see if the kid is good at what they really desire once they are about 13 years old. They mean well, but they can also hurt the id when they are grown, like you. Just stay focus and do the thing you love.

you gotta push through this tough time. I'm in my last year of studying psychology and my parents never believed in me, they wanted me to do a trade (theres nothing wrong about doing a trade, its just not what i wanted to do). in the 6 years I've been studying tough times have been around every corner. but seriously i personally believe you have made a good decision in differing for a year to follow your dreams. follow your dreams for the year and if you find that you're a lot more happier with life and you can see yourself going somewhere keep heading down that path, because society these days are to easily pushed into something they do not want to do. A lot of people do not have the courage to follow what they really want and I am a prime example of this, so take my advice and don't make the same mistakes i did.



all the best, if you need to vent/talk to anyone just ask or reply to me and ill hit you up.

now, I don't know hardly anything about your situation. but (not saying that you are or are not, but still) this coming Sunday is the Sunday after Easter. Try to get to a church! Pray to Jesus right now wherever you are, you don't have to be in a church to pray! "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me!" including getting through a bad situation, or having mean, (not saying your parents were mean,) or unsupportive parents to turn it into a strength to pray to god about, because know this, God Will NOT Put YOU Through ANYTHING That You CANNOT Handle, the is a reason for everything. and I mean EVERYTHING..... Every little blessed thing! From picking a blue shirt instead of a pink one. might not be the hugest most meaningful reason every time, but there is still a reason. If you do not happen to have the strongest relationship with God and Jesus Christ, try to get to a church. It doesn't matter what type of church, all churches have relationships with God and Jesus, but try to get to one. Don't be a Sunday church-goer also, pray at home on a Tuesday, or a Wednesday or whatever! Pray during the commercials of your fave TV show, or in the car to the grocery store! Have a blessed Wednesday and know that you can get through this hard and stressful time of your life.





Now on to the more encouraging for a career:



I wanted to be the same thing you want to be when I was a little younger. I have a terrible voice and I dance like me father... aka really badly. Now I want to be a photojournalist and travel the world while writing! -I love writing) Basically what I'm trying to say is that anything you desire to be as a young adult, you can achieve! You can be a singer and or a dancer many different ways, and it will be stressful the whole time with the more publicity you get. There are many ways to get over stress, basically, talk to a doctor or someone about stress relief things. Ok other than that, You can be a singer and dancer if you want to be! Maybe you had to go through all that you have to have something to sing about! TO make yourself have the confidence and self preservation to be a singer and a dancer! Encourage people with un-supportive families through songs to let them know that they can do anything they set there minds to- like you can/will yourself! Anything! The possibilities are completely endless! Have a good day, and I hope to be in the front row of your very first concert in a couple of years! Still, though, remember, 'I Can Do All Things Through Christ, Who Strengthens Me!" Philippians 4:13 :)

Keep your head up girl! Never give up your dreams! You can do it! People are either a blessing or a lesson. Your parents are a lesson to never give up even though life can have you feeling down sometimes! If you give up then you are the weaker one. If you achieve your dreams then think of how wrong you're parents will feel for not supporting you! I have very similar parents. If you need anyone to talk to I'm just an email away! Good luck!

You have nothing to lose. You're just starting out. Go ahead and try to do whatever it is you dream of. If you fail, you've lost nothing and you still have plenty of time to make up your mind. You don't need to know what you want to be or go into until you're 26-29. So if you want, take a few years to have fun and pursue your dreams. So what if your parents don't support you? That doesn't have to stop you from living your life. When people look back, nobody regrets taking a few student loans or going a bit in debt in their early 20s. Once you figure out what you want to do, you'll pay it back in no time. Relax.

There is a chance, but you have to put in the work. And not 100%, but 110%!



You can still go to college even if you're 20 so the best option would be to start out at a community college and later on transfer to a 4-year university. Many universities offer vocal performance for aspiring singers which falls under the music performance major. Also, most schools have either a theatre or acting major for aspiring actors/actresses.

First, do not entertain the idea of "giving up life". Remember, be an achiever rather than a martire. I am an Indian. Here in India, all most all the singers whether cine singers or classical singers, all of them are graduates from colleges. So, do not yield to the idea that you can do only one thing-that is study or singing. It depends on your determination. I do not mean to be harsh, but do not find some reason for your feared failure. You can do both by the simple technic of time management. Try hard and wish you good luck and success.

You should first of all step back and look at your life. :) Follow your dreams and try to become a singer. I would firstly though put some time on one side to catch up all of your work. (Do this first.) In addition, tell someone like a close friend or a consular what's happening. Trust me, it helps! :) Don't worry, you will make it through with a bit of confidence and hard-work! :) I wish all of the luck so that you succeed! Also, tell your parents how you feel! All parents are meant to support you and help you so, it will only do good! Good luck and everything will be fine! :)

Giving up life is never a solution. Whatever you want just do that no matter what people say about it or even if your parents are not liking it.Make them understand what your dreams are and education is important so do that basic studies. Once you complete follow your heart.Life is very pretty don't make it go like that.

Don't give up just yet! Do what my wife did when her family treated her like "she's a girl so she can't be a carpenter" or "she's a girl so she must take home economics in high school"; she decided to have her friends and their family to be her extended family. Family is not about blood relations, it is a group of people that support you. Support them and they will support you. That takes time but it is well worth the effort. We now have "adopted" siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews that are not blood relations that we support each other as if we are family because we ARE family.

I'm also 20 too, when i was 15 my older brother had brought me a singing lesson, and the 2nd day my mom found out and made me quit! I really enjoy singing even know im bad at it. But thats why there's singing lessons. Will anyways i had to quit and listen to my mom. my paresnts also push me to school too. But at the end of the day i thank there support. I wouldn't be at this stage if my parents didt stay by my side and push me.... I'm in college and its been about a year. i'm going to gradua in 2015. with a Associates of Art.

To begin with, there are no miracles. it is up to you to buckle down and catch up with the work you are expected to do. I personally have had some family problems, my mom and brother living in Norway and my dad and i living in America. I understand that it might be difficult to take the easy way out of your situation, but that is simply not the right thing to do. If you buckle down and do the things you need to do, the end feeling will be much better than what you will feeling knowing you gave up at such a young age. I can guarantee you that there are other people in the world that have it much more difficult than you do.



To summarize my advice for you, i would suggest that you sit down, do what you need to, no matter how difficult it might be, or how bad you feel, and make your life a success.

Hi Warrior ! Our success is just at the next corner when we want to quit. Stretch yourself and keep fighting. success may come off late but it's sure that it is inching towards you with every step you are taking. your life can be a story to fill inspiration in others life but only when you make the most of it. Good Luck and God Bless you dear!

Don't ever give up on life. Never. Don't ever give up on your dreams either. Do want you want to do no matter what anyone else says. Use your pain as inspiration for songs. Turn your bad experiences into good ones. Use your past to your benefit.



Whatever you decide to do, don't ever give up your life, your dreams, anything. Just don't.

As we live in material universe from the time begins with infinity. As human by nature can create own fate or what he is going to be in future. But we are born with certain types of predetermined results that is going to face in this life. That predetermined results are generated from our action in previous infinity number of life that we already lived in the process of born-death. Thus, be a human being be confident and utilize all those having you have for achievement of your goal that give you satisfaction.

Dave here. I even attempted suiced many years ago, and I am so happy that I am still alive. I also suffer from depression, dyslexia, add, and relaxation problems from trying to please everyone. Depression or as I have MDD major depressive disorder I am still very happy to be alive. My church Fellowship church in Fort Worth has a lot to do with that.

My dearest friend, I know just how you feel only the other day was i sitting between my boyfriends legs crying my eyes out at what has ALREADY HAPPENED in my life and telling him straight out that i don't want to be here, that i cannot continue things with the way i feel, and he cried... but he turned to me and looked me dead in the eyes and told me that although i don't want to accept the past and move on people love me, people i may not even realise... if i left this world and gave up on my life, how will that fix anything but only make it worse?. He has seen me at my worse, iv harmed myself over what is done and what i cannot change, and its only now that i realise i have to let go and move on with my life, and that my friend is what you must do too.. people love you for who you are, every inch of you, although it does not seem like it they do, if you feel they don't support you with singing or any choice you make, do it anyway, if it makes you happy who cares!! there is so much more to your life and the world around you that you have to experience, but please for the sake of other people and most importantly yourself don't turn to giving up for the solution to all of your problems because that will not even touch off solving anything.. i need you and anyone else who feels the way you do and myself included to try and see life differently,at a different angle but do it with a smile and positivity! god dammit work on your singing! go to college whenever it is you feel its necessary! travel! even if its to the next town/city just do it.. open yourself up to the whole world and the whole world will become your oyster!! but please do not EVER consider ending this beautiful chance at life you have been given! if one person can make me want to do all this i hope that you can find the energy and light to want to do it too!! but don't give up.. I'm only 19 and i have struggled since i was 17.. its only now i realise how much i have to offer... and so do you!! keep your head up and your heart strong! Much love x

You are 20! Go out and enjoy your life! Start taking vocal lessons, and get involved in that world! Youtube is such a cool place to start if you want to put the time in. Maybe get into a recording studio and start focusing on music!

Please don't give up on life dear, yes it is hard at the moment, but it will get better, you will see things different at your vunerable age, but believe me it does get better, and I want you to contact me in 3 years time and say, yes Geoff, you were right and I'm thankful for your advice. Try seeknsing help and support from other family members and talk to the Samaritans www.samaritans.org good luck

Well, what you are pursuing is really unsecure. You should study a career you love or at least you do well, then go for acting and singing. You could participate in college on those activities. You don´t need to drop college, just work hard on what you have

As cliche as it is, everything happens for a reason. Don't give up just because things seem hard at this moment. This is just one step in your path, and you have to overcome it. If you really feel like you need to talk to someone try seeing a counselor. I know once I did, it really helped me.

You need to find what you like to do and immerse yourself in it! if its singing go for it! something iv learned in life your parents are not there to live your dreams! You must do what is right for you in spite of what anyone else says. Some people may contribute to your joy, but no one will defend it the way you can! start by indulging in the things you enjoy and limiting the things that tear you down and you will naturally rebuild yourself with the good your heart seeks!!!

You're crying because you have too much food to eat and you didn't pursue your dream? Talk about first-world problems. Come on man, quit being a whiny fvck. There are poor people who'd cut off their balls just to trade lives with you.

I do NOT think your parents were wrong here, and you sound rather spoiled and narcissistic to me. Singing, dancing and acting may have its place, but it's usually highly ambitious and questionable.



Your parents wanted to base your life on a foundation of solid rock, meaning actual skills or a down-to-earth field of endeavor, in my opinion. We have enough singers, entertainers and ego strokers. Some people need to actually do more honest work.

I think there is a compromise between your parents wishes for you to go to college and pursue your career. I did not see it among the 78 or so responder to your Yahoo Question.



That compromise is this go to college and follow in the university in Liberal Arts School, a career in that field that focuses in the Liberal Arts in Acting and Singing. I was a college professor of education at four universities. I am not trying manipulate the views of your parents or sabotage your aspirations of a musical career for you. I used to have a colleague at college who along with me would want to expand our department offerings in educating school teachers and school administrators. He would say: "Lets run it up the flagpole and see who salutes." I am urging you to try that strategy with your parents or whomever. Good luck.

Life will never have its fullest meaning until you find Christ as your Savior. There is a God-shaped hole in every life that only he can fill. If you will give your life over to him you will find the true fulfillment you seek.

Jesus said, "Come unto me, anyone who is weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest for your soul."

do what your freaking parents tell you



they told you to concentrate on your studies because that's the only way you're going to be able to afford food, rent, health care, clothes and everything else



wanting to be a singer is dumb unless you want to live in a car and be a bartender while you pursue your dream



study, get a a real job

Besides your parents, do you have other mentors who can help guide and encourage you? People who know you well are often in a great position to help you identify and develop your unique gifts. Also, you mentioned hoping for a miracle - have you asked God for His help and guidance? You can't go wrong with that!

the problem is you are blaming everything to other people. you need to grow up. there are people who are literally fighting for their lives. people who have cancer, who are terminally ill and those people in other country who were caught in between war, there are also people who don't even have food to eat or water to drink and are suffering. but they still have the courage to fight for life. why don't you embrace life as it is, appreciate the mere fact that you are breathing and try to find ways that you can help other people. you may not want to hear it but at least you still have your health. good luck and God bless.

Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.



Not to give up under any circumstances should be the motto of our life: we shall try again and again, and we are bound to succeed. There will be obstacles, but we have to defy them. So do not give up, do not give up! Continue, continue! The goal is ahead of you. If you do not give up, you are bound to reach your destined goal.

If you really want to give up, that's your choice.



But, make sure that you tried your hardest before you do so.

Here is some real good advice. Easy to say but hard to do! Get out of yourself find someone else to help or do things for others. Self sacrafice yourself for someone else for a change.

that fact that you want to quit is a good sign, it means you REALLY want this and you need to GO for it! try your best, have hope, believe that you can do this and you don't need miracles...you also don't need to be skinny or have lots of hair to become an amazing singer. everything will fall into place, if you just try, trust me.



good luck. :)

You must accept the good and bad circumstances in your life. You are only a young person. The best thing to do is accept your situation and finish school.

Dear young person,

Please consider a few things: even though it may seem your parents did not support your dream it very well could be because (1) your parents know that statistically there is such a small possibility that this type of dream will ever lead to gainful employment & many times results in a huge money-sucking & soul-sucking experience for those who attempt it (2) parents are responsible for being... parents & that means guiding their children into an adult life with skills that can help the young adult be self-sustaining (3) for the vast majority of kids who share your type of dream the parents simply do not have the money to provide endless resources & with this have to choose to provide what resources they can to prepare you for adult life



Now, as a young adult, your parents have done what they can do to provide you with a basis to help the transition into the responsibilities of adulthood..... it is you that chooses what path to follow

you had the choice of (1) follow the path recommended by your parents to become self-sustaining (2) follow your dream and use up the resources that could have provided you gainful employment to become self-sustaining



the better path is to follow the path to a place where you can self-sustain & then use your own resources (before you have kids & spouse that you will have to spend money on) to take those voice lessons in an attempt to pursue your dream --- this way you get both the benefit of being self-sustaining as well as the fulfillment of at least learning the skills to follow your dream. The vast majority of artists, regardless of the type of talent (singing, dancing, acting, drawing, etc...) must have a full-time sustainable job with some other occupation to sustain themselves. It is extremely rare for any artist to make enough money to not also have a full-time job. Yes, the artists you hear of in the news might (Let me repeat MIGHT) make enough money to give up full-time sustainable job.... but that is really more rare than you as a young person realize



Please... PLEASE... get back on the path of your education so you can become self-sustaining & with this use a portion of your earnings to support your dream



Added note: I have 3 friends who got education to sustainable career & then worked towards their dream. 2 of them have achieved their "dream" only to realize they can not make enough money to give up their sustainable career jobs
