Jenny Jones "My teens dream career is my nightmare"

[@mirianhubbard7802]

My friend's child always knew that she wanted to be in showbiz. Today she has performed in plays, the Apollo, in movies, and can tap dance. Her voice has improved over the years and she is a wonderful star. Performance careers do not require you to go to Hollywood. There are tons of local art houses that one can hone their skills. Become the best wherever you are.

Michael is so sweet. I have a kid who's that age now & I wish he knew what he wanted to do! I think it's great he had drive that young

[@sin5cents13]

Aw thank you. How old is your kid now?

[@boredweegie553]

some adults don't even know what they want never mind kids ,I've raised 4 boys ,all men now, they all went to higher education , and they were lucky, all in great jobs but my point is it's ok to not know what you want long term as long as you get a job that pays for your living expenses day to day, . while working towards what you want long term

[@hockeygirl8401]

Ain’t nobody heard of these kids. Looks like the parents were correct. The reason why people are superstars is because they are extraordinary. Everybody is not going to make it into showbiz. Getting into professional sports is just as difficult. Let’s push our children to be the best they can be, and follow their dreams in another way. For instance, these kids could’ve been music producers. They have a lot of power and money and it’s a great way to still use your music. These folks need to get more creative. For that kid who wants to be a wrestler. What about Becoming an sports agent?

They are good but could be better (the singers and rapper). Make a deal, “keep up your grades and I’ll pay for voice lessons to hone your potential. “. The race car kid , It seems like the dad has real fear and every reason to. Ugly truth is, the son could be hit by a car walking home. Do your best to teach safety practices and if he is so determined let him start with slower cc go karts to learn track etiquette and work their way up. For the wrestling kid, the dad needs to give more positive reinforcement. He’s already trying and pushing him or putting him down is only going to make him hate the sport. He actually likes it so learn how to bond in a positive way
