Did your parents not believe in you when you wanted to move out?
I would like to thank everyone for the help. For some of the questions you all have asked, here are some more of the details. I plan on getting two Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Business Administration. Also I already have a potential roommate. My approximate cost for rent and utilities is $250.00, which by the way is a good deal. Also by living on my own I will be able to get finical aid in paying for college, so I can fulfill my dreams. I believe that I have a plan that is well thought out. So therefore, I do not understand why my parents are not supporting me. P.S. I apologize to mollyneville. I am sorry my spelling was not what you expected. I am having a terrible day, which includes many people making my life more difficult than it should be. So next time you are having a bad day, I hope people do not criticize you for the minor details.
How to prove my mom wrong?
Okay so I have many dreams. I want to be a lawyer. I want to have kids and be a great mom one day. I want to adopt a couple. I want to open a adoption thing for dogs, cats, etc. I want to travel the whole world and many more things but these are my main one's. I have many dreams. My mom thinks that I'm not going to be able to. She says it's impossible. She says I'm acting like a little kid, you know who say I want to be an astronaut and a race car guy or something. I'm still to young to be thinking about this but I always think about my future. I want to be able to do this all and prove my mom wrong. My mom is usually right all the time but I want to prove her wrong for once. I need advice. How would I plan this out or something. Please help!
What do I do if my parents aren't supportive?
If I understand your question correctly, there's two types of supporting - financial support and emotional support - and your parents are sending you money but don't do anything else to support what you love doing.I know the situation well. I've been on stage since I was 6 years old and have done all kinds of things as a performer. My parents would drive me to places and buy me equipment I needed and otherwise throw money my way - but they wouldn't get emotionally involved.In my case, my Dad also was very criticizing of my music, pointing out mistakes and things I do that he thought I shouldn't be doing.It took me many years and being separated by an ocean (literally) before I realized I could finally play freely - free from criticism and fear of what people might think - and that realization made me even more free.In the end, I realized that my parents didn't emotionally support me because they didn't know how. Their financial support was probably the best they could do with what they had to offer, and while it was by far not enough for a sensitive boy yearning for attention, I now have to remind myself that they did indeed do the best they could. In fact, even though they never said they liked what I did, I have come to realize that they tried really hard to tell me by paying for my passion - it was they only way they could tell me.It is always sad when you have no one to emotionally support what you love doing. But if your heart is fully in it, you have to listen and continue doing it!Yes, there may be times when you question yourself or when you really could use a kind word from someone or positive criticism. So try to find people who CAN support you. Find people who are and think and feel like you do, and use their support to keep you going.

Is it selfish if I want to leave my parents and move out on my own?
As Sara Booth noted in her answer, the answer to your question is going to depend greatly on your cultural context. My family bridged Bangladesh, the UK, and the USA. I felt a great deal of guilt moving out of my parents’ home (in Bangladesh) for university (in the US) and again for not returning (to my mother’s home in the UK) after I had earned my BA at 22.Your parents and siblings may perceive you as selfish. However, putting yourself first isn’t necessarily a negative thing. By leaving my birth family behind me, I have been able to accomplish much more in my life than I could have if I stayed. I am now raising wonderful 10-year-old twin daughters who know that when they decide to venture out on their own, they will have my full support to live their own lives.If you’re not able to live up to your potential in your parents’ home, it is more selfish for you to stay than to leave. However, are their social repercussions to leaving? How does your society view unmarried (I assume you’re unmarried) adults living away from their parents?This is not to say you won’t feel guilt. It has been 19 years since I left home. My younger sister was 7 when I left, and I still wonder what I could have done to make her life better. Perhaps if I had stayed closer to home or stood up more to my parents, I could have made her life easier. By the time I was in a financial position to bring her to live with me, choices that would limit her options in life had already been made. I live with that guilt by doing my best not to put my daughters in a similar position.I wish you the best of luck.
My parents aren't supportive of my dreams?
My mother did the same to me, with flute, ballet & airline stewardess. None of them were what she thought was best for me, since she was very conservative. Instead I played piano & went to nursing school, both of which I didn`t want to do & quit early on each. NOW I have a son, first he wanted to play in a rock band, I made him take guitar lessons for 1 year, he hated them. But once he quit he excelled in the guitar, playing all different types. Now is self taught on drums. As he got older, & played music with friends he realized this wasn`t what he thought. All this to say, if you don`t see money as a big issue, ask for things one at a time. It can be overwhelming to a parent for a child to say they want all these things in just one summer. Offer to help pay. Sorry to ramble, but I don`t think your parents should squash your 'dreams'. Sure, maybe mom realizes the chances of you becoming a star actress/singer are slim, there are ways that you can still do the things you love. School programs are the best, don`t know how old you are but there are plenty of great adults willing to work with you. If you`re 'too old', thn join a larger church with a great music program, they`ll work with you too! Talk to your guidance teacher, you need some help learning how to handle this before you have regrets!
To successful entrepreneurs : Did your parents support your business aspirations when you were starting out? If not, how did you deal with it?
I was lucky that my parents support my aspirations (in general but still sometimes I feel think I should have a “typical 9–5er”). However, I think the most important part of being an Entrepreneur is your belief in what you are doing. It doesn’t matter how supportive your family or friends are, don’t get me wrong you need a support system, if you don’t believe in yourself and what you are doing success is very hard to achieve.The best way I know how to get the support you need is to find a network of other entrepreneurs to join, never stop learning and reading, and find a mentor - someone who has done it before and can remind you when you forget why you are doing what you are doing. Oh and always remember that absolutely everything is progress!Good luck!
My high school graduation is tomorrow, and I'm not graduating. My parents are so upset. What do I do??
You are not a failure.. You just go on and get your Credits. Successful people have Dave Thomas of Wendy's went back to school, on a bet when he was making a speech that everyone today should get a good education. In the audience a young girl asked him if he had finished high school ( as he had stated many times that he didn't) and he said no. He then told her that to prove that education was important , he would. AND HE DID You just did not finish .. ( for some reason) and you can and will if you put in the effort. I know parents are sad.. I am too. I have a brilliant son, who dropped out of univeristy.. ( He was known as a gifted child, but had no ambotions, and is a "drop out from univesity" all my other children finished university.. ( I still have hopes that he will complete a degree someday. . You can too.... your parents will be more pround of you after you succeed. They are just disappointed and want you to succeed. Go for it.. DAVINCI, DID WAS SELF EDUCATED AND ONE OF THE GREATEST GENIESUS OF ALL TIMES> DID NOT FINISH ANYTHING.( APPRENTICED, LEARNED AND LEARNED.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da...

My family don't support my dreams, what do I do?
Probably you are dreaming big or going out of the box to get your dreams accomplished.And on behalf of that i CONGRTULATE you for giving a thought to stand up for your-self and living your life on your own terms because very few people have this immense courage to do so.It happens with most of us that our family and so called relatives are either intimidated by our dreams or they simply give us a tag of “lunatic person”.Right?But i would suggest you to follow whatever your heart desires and not what other people want you to do.They simply want you to do risk-free task and play average,which apparently most of the people do .Some of them infact have no hunch that what they desire from their life,entire life they follow the decisions of other people .I understand that parents and your so called acquaintance need to be suportive,when it comes to following your dreams.Definitely they play a important role.But if they arent supportive then :Go solo!Put your heart in your dream and grab out the results!Realise that if no one is supportive and positive towards your goal,you still can do it if you ventured to dream for that.Avoid contacting anyone who isnt by your side because the more you indulge in conversations with them,the more they will try to retreat your mind and follow what they desire from you.Stop giving explanations to people around you that what you are doing with your life.Your life is a steering of car,dont give it to other people.The pain of regretting is one of the most bitter pain you will endure,if you give up on your dreams because of someone else.So , stop not till you actually achieved it.And remember when you will be done with your accomplishment then the one who mocked you for following your dreams would come to take inspiration.Go prove them wrong!Dont be a cry- baby,you have already endured negativity and lot of negative people who are stopping you to be a master of your own life.Cry, when you will achieve your goal,i want to see you crying hard at that time.I know you can do it and you will definitely do it,all it requires is a temporary struggle and i believe you are strong enough to go against all the odds of you life and create history.“You are more than you appear to be,all the universe powers and strength rests inside you!”All the best wishes from your future fan!Love,VARTIKA
