SOMEHOW I can't type chinese today @@
Hope someone can translate it for me, thanks.
I am actually having the same situation as you right now.
My parents hate magic so much; they critize it with lame reasons,
they don't care how many times I perform on stage but saying,
"Get a good grade on your studies before you talk about magic in front of us"
This just happens over the past 4-5 years.
SERIOUSLY, I dont care what the heck they say about my magic right now.
In front of them, I JUST study like a nerd; but I put all my gimmicks, cards and books in my room
and practice when they dont see it.
Whenever I have shows, I will just say, "I am going out with my frds and chill~ see ya"
OF COURSE I dont get shows when exams are here.
When you get good grades, they will just shut themselves up.
ALSO, NO NEED to inform your activities at school to your parents~
YOu just say that I have joined other clubs~ that's it
One of the best ways to get rid of them is:
EARN AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN !!!!
List all of your shows and how much you earn from them,
keep it in a safe place~
ONE DAY, when you dont depend on your parents' money to learn magic,
TIME TO SHOW these to them and prove the point that
YOU CAN REALLY EARN MONEY WITH MAGIC AND I DONT FREAKING DEPEND ON YOUR PARENTS ANYMORE!!
When you have good grades and you can earn money by yourself,
the problem will go away =]
Hope it helps !
