drama...
...almost literally, heh. so my little sister has this aspiring dream to become an actress. i guess she's been harboring this notion for a while, but i never knew how serious she was about it till today, when she and my parents blew up. my parents are very traditional, practical, stubborn, and somewhat closeminded, and they adamantly refuse to allow their children to be involved in the entertainment industry in any way. naturally, they butted head-on and then rebounded, both sides being terribly hurt. my sister started crying and weeping and screaming while my parents just yelled at her to stop crying and to listen to their reason. what i found funny was how my sister yelled at them to go away and to stop talking to her, and that just made my parents more mad and yelled louder. on tv, whenever the kid yells at the parent to go away, the parent goes away hurt and confused and then later tries to make up to their kid.
hah, not in my family. anyway, i agree with my parents 100%. i definitely would not want my kid to be in that kind of industry unless they were really, really talented and i had the money and time to do it. we're not wealthy, and my sister says she'll pay for an agent by herself with her $1500. i found that funny too. she doesn't seem to understand education is really what she needs to be focusing on, because without education, she can't get anywhere. that's the truth and either she's too dumb or ignorant to see that. still, i can also see things from her point of view. this is something she really, really wants, and my parents are refusing to even give her a chance. however, i dont' think she realizes how much effort and how much of her life will be eaten up by this. i think most kids in the industry get screwed over, and even if they do become megastars when they're young, they're nobody and freaking messed up when they're older. prime example: danny partridge.
so, since she still won't change her mind after all that was thrown at her, i would like for her to do what she wants and then watch as she gets screwed over. but of course, my parents won't let that happen. they're gonna keep nagging and yelling, and i think she might just run away.
i wish she was more like me. then my family would be so much more harmonious.
