Thread: Why Aren't My Parents Open To My Future Plans?

I'm 15 years old, and i plan to graduate high school and attend Berklee School Of Music in Boston, someday. I want to become a music teacher.

I have a boyfriend named William who i love with all my heart and soul, i want to marry him young at about 19 years old. And i want to have four kids someday too.

The problem is:: My parents.
They don't approve of the profession that i want to take up. They don't approve of the college that will educate me more than any other music college.
And they REALLY don't approve of me wanting to marry young. It's not like i'm a party girl and loves getting drunk and have sex every night. (PS: I'm a virgin till marriage.) I'm a small town girl who would rather stay home and watch movies that party, so what would i be missing at 19 into my twenties?

How can i convince my parents that this is the life i want? I'm sick of them sheltering me and not letting me make mistakes that i can learn from.

PS: before anyone says anything, i know i'm only 15 and marriage is a HUGE commitment, i understand what comes along with getting married to someone.
i play flute, guitar, sax, and i'm learning piano right now.
and of course i can sing. Not very well right now, because i just had just had surgery, but you know what i mean. :]

I'd wait longer for marriage. They probably are just worried and don't want you to get all your hopes up for them to fall or something.

And can you sing? Can you play instruments? That might be their concern, too.

Good luck.

For the profession it could be bc if something happened you would have somehting to fall abck on.
19 is young to get married
4 kids seem cool as long as you dont burst
