So I was born in California I'm currently living in Arkansas which I HATE! I want to be an animator. imagination is everything to me, I can draw, I mean I have all takes to be successful in the creative world. I wanted to do this since I was in 6th grade. I want to move back to California (I'm a senior) but my parents arnt letting me they keep telling me I'm ignorant and selfish because I want to achieve my goal in life. They keep telling me to study here and change my mind!
My parents didn't go to college so obviously they don't understand the importance of a life time career especially if your life revoles passionately around it.
I mean I know it will be hard financially, I mean moving, getting a job in general. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fullfill my dream.

They are over controlling you big time and that is not good. Move out ASAP, because it looks to me like they want to have you as a slave. In a way I understand why some children don't get along with their parents. Some of them can be dictators and it looks to me like your parents are such.
You know what ultimately the choice is yours. Your parents should be glad you're choosing to go to college to better yourself. I say if you have the chance & you want to go back, do it. It will be tough, but as long as you understand that and are willing to work hard for what you want then I would say don't worry about it. I mean as long as you're not forcing them to go back to California (which by the way, why leave gorgeous california for Arkansas; are your parents crazy??)
I also wanted to add, maybe it would put your parents mind at ease if you had someone like a relative in california you could stay with and go to school?
if youre not being open with him, be open. just say that youre responsible enough not to screw up THAT badly in life and that animating stuff is what you want to do. if you think your parents will get mad if you be open with them then dont because its worth a try. youre a senior and you have some say in the family so i would really start being more independent. tell them that. that you willl be very independent with your life and your life is devoted to your animating career and that being your parents, they should respect that. i personally believe that moving out when youre just a senior is probably too young but when you come of age, 20 to the least, your parents should agree. if it doesnt work out, then keep getting better. and when you can make your own decisions, you will be fully capable of doing the best you can in your career. i hope it works out for you
Its selfish of you to ask them to move for your goal. Its selfish of them to ask you not to because your goal conflicts with what they "want you to be" I'd say chase it and do your best to be the person you want to be, thats my plan as well, but make sure to think realisticly and have a back up plan. Unless you get off on taking chances.
No you're no longer being egocentric for being disenchanted, its your twentieth birthday and of direction you predicted a sprint greater, this isn't any longer primary somebody turns 20! sometime kin purely spaz out like that, mine do! besides have a ~chuffed twentieth Birthday!!~ and luxuriate in your self besides.
Bro, you know what you want and if you strive for something that you are passionate about and you think you can and you give it your best youll succeed. its called the secret. Just try your hardest and keep your head up. Youll do it i have faith in you.
Your parents are ********* dude, and you need to grow some confidence and know that you are not in the wrong, sheesh
if you're the legal age to move out you don't have to listen to your parents anymore. do what YOU want, not what they want. and it's not selfish at all, it's selfish of them to try to force you to stay and do something you don't want to do
Go for it, its you life so live it :) ....you only get 1
