You should respect your Mother. That means treating her they way you want to be treated. That said, life is a two way street. She should listen to you, but you may have to make it subtle. What I am suggesting is opening a conversation. Ask her if her objection is that she does not want to see you hurt? She probably knows, that the field of acting is filled with failures. But, you could approach it that you simply want to have some fun trying, see if you really do like it, and if you have the commitment.

Her issue could be money - lessons/classes can cost some money, which might put the family budget over the edge. Her issue could be the time consumed running around to take you around. So, you need to see it from her perspective. That will allow you to really have a heart-to-heart with her.

You can get lessons off the internet too! Here are some sites that you might like. Best of luck!
