Should I tell my parents that I want to become a famous singer in a band?
I’m asian, and one stereotype has always been true in my family – that parents are extremely strict and makes you become a doctor, lawyer, etc.
My parents want me to become an accountant or a lawyer, but the thing is, I find those to be rather uninteresting.
I want to go to University for Urban Design (or Marketing as a 2nd choice) and start my own band there, and over the 4-5 years of school work to get my band on the charts. My backup plan is to become a military aviation officer (My parents disprove of anything Military, but it seems interesting) or actually work in my designated study field.
Should I tell my parents that while in University studying, my main goal would be to get my band successful while maintaining schooling and enlist in the army reserve corps?
Or should I just keep the whole strategy a secret from them? They’re not really the supportive types (according to almost everyone, I’m a good singer but to my folks, I’m good but won’t make it because the music industry “hates asians”, w.e. the heck that means 😛 )

Should I Tell My Parents?
Posted on May 10, 2012.
Your life is YOUR life. You choose what you want to be in life and go for it. Push away negativity and also, your parents should support you. You control your destiny.
If I were you I would tell my parents my dreams. They might not approve or be supportive but its what you want to do and they love you so it shouldnt be too bad. and it sounds like you have a really sturdy plan! if anything you could always just post on youtube for awhile until someone finds your talent, like uhh..justin beiber haha(:
i believe do anything you want to do! who knows i may be writing the next big thing in music! but as for telling parents its all up to you. it may bring stress or it actually make you relaxed..
I wouldn’t tell them, just do it
Just tell them
I think you are dependable person, means you not decision maker. Many hops and respective attitudes expectations are stronger than the passion. You ever success in your life such situation it is much better you must stand on any one of them, either passion or parents expectation. Whereas if you get support of your family, the success would get in short term. Sit with parents and discuss don’t go on perceptions catch to the actual. Parents always feels better what their kids wants or like.
