well technically you can't do anything without your parent's permission so convince that you are serious about your acting career!. get involved in as many opportunities that you can where act!. (school plays, community theatre, acting classes) you first have to build a resume before you even think about making it big!. it's good to be flexible so try to see if you can also maybe take acting, as well as singing or dance, classes!. they look good on a resume!.
once you've build a foundation, get a headshot taken, and then send them to acting agencies and hope they choose to represent you!. your parents are right, it is hard!. the industry is tough, but if you really want it, you wouldn't be picky and just take whatever you can!. the more you participate, the better you will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To take your dream into action, have a serious talk with your parents about how much you want to pursue acting as a future career!. You should definitely start by taking acting classes!. Join a local community theater!. Then sign up with a local agent that can actually book you good roles!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
