Kind of upset.

Today I had high school orientation. Everything went well. After meeting all of my teachers and what not I went in to join clubs. I choose debate, a christian thing (mom's idea), and theater. When I got in the car to show my mom she said "That's great I grabbed you a student council thing." I said "Four clubs and softball is a little much?" Now my mom has always been weird about my singing. I'm not trying to be conceded by my last drama teacher said I was amazing. So I know I'm not awful. My mom looked at me for a second and I kid you not "Why would you take drama club you wouldn't be able to make it in a show anyway. You would embarrass yourself." So long story short I'm in student council and my mom is kind of a bitch.

Dude don't let your mom control your life. If you want to do drama, do so. Talk to your mom and let her know that Student Council isn't for you.

I mean student council is fine with me and dropping the club isn't that bad. The fact that she was so mean about it is what sucks.

Talk to her about that then. Communication helps sort shit out in tons of relationship issues.

Dude that sucks. I have no idea why your mom would say that, but you're hella talented and you like drama, and it sucks that she would just dismiss your interests like that. Don't let it get you down too badly!

A lot of parents are really weird about drama stuff. There's this kid in my school, he gets the lead in EVERY play. He's amazing at singing and plays the piano and just has an insane amount of talent when it comes to this kind of stuff.

His dad doesn't support him one bit though. Don't know why.
