Hmmm!.!.!.well, first of all, if you're under 18 you have no choice but to go to an interview with a parent!. It's the law!.You an't sign anything on your own!.

It's unfortunate that your mother isn't more supportive, however she's obviously looking out for your best interests!. RIght now, you're crying at even the mention of the word fail, however there is TONS of rejection in this business!. You need a tough skin!. Maybe your mother doesn't think you're tough enough to handle it and it trying to protect you!. Why don't you show her that you understand that there is the potential for failure, that you're prepared to handle it if it happens and you just want to go and check things out!? It you're mature and realistic about it, you're mom would probably be more likely to come with you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey if you want to do this, then you need to have the guts to go by yourself! Your Mom there isn't doing anything for you! Yes you may FAIL, did you crying your eyes out change that!? This is all on you if you want it go get it and leave your Mom out of it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok yes if you are under 18 they will need your parent not a aunt or something that way they can talk schedule and Business!. If you want to make it in this Business you NEED to build up the courage to stand alone!. tell her how shes making you feel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If she doesn't want come then don't make her!. She is looking out for your best interest!.

If that doesn't satisfy you, try bribeing!. Tell her you will take her out to lunch afterwards!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have you let her know that you need her support as an adult and as your mother!?!?!?
Tell her this is something you really want, and if you fail at one interview, it doesn't mean you are a failure!.!.!.It's just one interview!.
Tell her that you are willing to fail a lot in order to succeed, and that
you need to know she is with you!.
Tell her to help you NOT fail --Www@QuestionHome@Com
