I want to be an artist, but how do i tell my parents?

Your life belongs to you and no one else, and you need to do what you feel is right for you, not because it pleases your parents, whether they are upset with you or not. My dad is the same way, and I really don't give a **** because it's my life, and I want to live life my way, not his. The only way to tell them is to just tell them like it is. Everything will work out and be okay.
