if you have an offer and parents say NO, would you...?

as long as the idea really comes from the heart, and in all real good faith... yOU SHOULD ALWAYS GO FOR IT.... go, gO, GO... AND AS THE YOUNG age offers, Strike the all of it When the Iron is still Hot...

Hi dear, So what you say? you want to go for it or not? Please comments. Thank-s

Hi Hushi, You are 23 so no longer a child in reality. I would say that ultimately the choice is yours. Your father for whatever reason objects to this and it is good that you are considerate of his feelings and his thoughts but still, it is your life to live as you see fit. I think you should ask your father just why he is so opposed to you modeling. There is good money in it and it is really hard work. I think you should reassure your dad that he raised you right and that this is something you really want to do. I am a parent myself and no matter how much I might disagree with some of the choices my girls have made, I will ALWAYS love them and be here for them. Regardless of what your dad might say, I'm pretty sure that he will still be your dad and will still be there for you as a father. You should follow your dream!

I would have a talk with him if I were you. But I think I know the reason he refused. Dads are men, and they know what passes through the mind of men. Think of it - if you model, there's a probability that some dirty minded men will look at YOUR photo in a derogatory way. Dads don't want men to look at YOUR photos in THAT dirty way. :)

Hi hushi22, , You should always respect your parents and one way to do that is to listen to what they have to say, even if you don't agree with them. Sometime our parents are overly protective, but they don't see it that way. If I were offer a legitimate modeling deal and my parents said nos, I wouldn't just ignore their reasons before I made up my mind to take the offer. I would weigh the benefits and safety of the offer. What weighs the most, the pros or cons? Even if offers are legitimate doesn't mean that it is right for everyone. Parents have more wisdom and I would think, only want what is best for their children.

Firstly, have you finished your studies? second are you of the right age? thirdly have you done things in the past that would make your dad feel that you are not responsible enough? I'm a dad myself and when my daughter grows up and want to do something and answers those questions honestly by all means i will allow her to do what she wants to do with her life!

We can't ignore the worries that parents would have when their children would do something that they don't really fully understand yet. Perhaps they do know something about such things but, too little, not enough or they might only know the bad parts and so little with the good things that it entails. As in your case, as long as you can still be responsible with the other things that you need to attend to, I guess trying that offer out isn't a bad idea. Its part of growing up anyway, to decide things for ourselves and let our parents see how responsible or, if things go bad that they can actually say 'I told you so' If my parents would say no about something, I would still look into it until I can see the whole picture. Then I'd decide if I should try it out or just appreciate the words my parents had said with regards to something that can either be an opportunity or otherwise.

The choice should be yours, but you should definitely know about good and bad places. There is so much to explore in this world and so many opportunities to come for you. Before jumping for any of them you should definitely consult your parents and convince them in your own way. Once they think positive about it, you will gain a lot of confidence towards working on the offers which is very important in your career building.

You should just listen to your parents. They just want you to be safe. If modeling is something that you really want from the beginning, I'm sure your dad would allow you to join. There's nothing wrong with listening to your parents. Haha.

In the case I got an offer for modeling, my gut instinct would be to join. But since my parents come from an Asian background and are strongly opposed to the practice, I wouldn't even think about joining. Even when I read through your article and learned more about the offers I could have made successful, I will always just think of the positives I've had and will continue to have. Modeling gives people a lot of stresses to deal with, and I'm using that as an excuse for not regretting the decision I made. Its always better to trust your parents on certain things, and for the decision, I think there reasoning was valid.
