What do you call it when your parent want you to stop drawing?

i love drawing, i really like it! i always draw and now that it's summer time, i draw and create my own manga when i'm free[ i'm always free] . now, i've decided to take up fine arts in college and then take up whatever course they what for me. so at least, i took up the class that i wanted. but my dad,he broke my dreams ,he doesn't want me to draw and continue what i like, what i love and what i want to become!!.,,what do you call this??What do you call it when your parent want you to stop drawing?
Hmmm... gee, sorry to hear this! I always encouraged my 3 kids to draw! It's something very creative and passes the time. [They are now all over 27 y.o! ] I'm thinking that, as previously mentioned by others, your parents are possibly fearful that you will not put 'priorities' over your hobbies and very much dislike the amount of time that you are using for your drawings. [do keep a dated portfolio of them!]





Maybe you need to 'postpone' some drawing until you do what you need/have to do. Discuss this matter with them and FIND OUT just what the issues are. No need in guessing what it might be, find out.





Be prepared, as an adult, to do any priorities and then have your treat of drawing later. Try to understand their point of view as it may be on a grander and broader scale that what your point of view is, at this time of you life.





Don't get angry with them; just have a nice conversation so that all is clear. Please DO take up art in college!





Best wishes and have fun drawing! * in your spare time. :-) *What do you call it when your parent want you to stop drawing?
Foolish, unconscious, fearful, controlling, repressive. Often a person like you is ';given'; parents like this to ';see'; how you will deal with this choice: to knuckle under to their soul killing agenda, or to bring out your courageous side and prompt you to find a way to follow your passion no matter what. But in a manner that creates the least confrontation, to the extent possible.





This planet is filled with fearful, brainwashed people. They are programmed to be ';normal'; and to pursue ';normal'; goals. In fact such path leads to repression, obsession, mediocrity and dysfunction.





I will not go in to depth as to why this programming exists -- i assure you, however, that it benefits only ';the ruling class'; -- keeping the ';peasants'; dis-empowered, ';stupid'; and controlled helps keep them from being overthrown, which they richly deserve.





In any event, to not follow your heart is a likely prescription for unpleasant repercussions, health wise and otherwise.





Good Luck !!!
I'd call it abuse. But for the record I would say it's a matter of control. I think he's afraid that it isn't good enough for his girl and that you should be looking for something more concrete in education.


There will be a point where he has no say in the matter so let him air his views. When he's finished go to art college anyways. It's your decision not his.
well,I love drawing also,but there's not much of a chance you'll be able to support yourself financially with it,which is probably what your father is concerned with.Maybe you should try for a degree in graphic design or something simular,and pursue the manga in your free time.That way you'll have a viable occupation and still draw what you like,and MAYBE get lucky and land a job doing graphic novels or manga.Hope you do!
censorship!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most parents are afraid of their kids getting into any of the arts (music, acting, art etc) because they're afraid you won't be able to support yourself. They think if you try to be in the arts you can never make enough money to live on. Try taking some of the courses they want you to take but taking some art and drawing on the side. Hopefully if you stick with it and they can see your progress and commitment to it they will change their minds over time. Be patient, they're only trying to protect you and make sure you will be successful later on in life. Many kids change their minds often so they want to be sure you're truly interested and it isn't just a phase.
Your parents are thinking too much, I don't know if you will financially be able to support yourself by doing manga, but you can go into other art fields and have manga at the side. I'm going to get me an art career too, but instead of manga it's animation. Your parents should support your dreams, if they think it won't financially support you, they could atleast advise you to take more than one thing.
its called hating


go to your parents and say mom dad you guys are such haters!!
It's called paying the bills. The reality is, to the extent that they are paying for your education you really do have to satisfy them you are learning something that will help you become independent (something that's hard in this day and age anyhow).





If you are really serious about this, and on work-study, most colleges have a graphics department you can get a job at. This will help you figure out how you are going to make a living from the arts, if that's what you want to do.





I might mention that my brother got his B.S. at 36 and I got my B.A. at 40. While I don't recommend postponing college, I do think you can put off studying Fine Arts if that's what you have to do. On the one hand don't be discouraged, but on the other, college is expensive and how independent are you? This is a very hard and unpleasant fact you are just going to have to come to grips with.
keep up with the art! he just wants you to be able to make a reasonable living once you graduate, so show him what carrers would be avaliable to you. ?(hint) sell your art now. ppl will buy it!
I call it nuts. Maybe your dad believes that you can't make a living off your art. All you have to do is prove him wrong.
It's called ';parents-against-what-their-children-lov鈥?br>

controlling





(keep your independence under your hat


'til you are 18 and outtathere)
Is it poss able that you ask your father why he does not want you pursue your dreams, maybe there is a good reason, or you both might come up with something that pleases you both. You might be able to combine both interests.
