would you say yes to a job on tv if your sister got it for you?

I am 13. I have wanted to be an actress ever sence I was 4. my parents thought it was stupid and wouldnt even help me. Now they got my sister (who had never had a desire to act) a job on tv. They were like “kaelie if this works out, she can get you a job too.” I dont want it to be that easy. I feel like Ashley Simpson! I would not have accomplished anything by it getting handed to me like that. NOW I CAN NEVER DO MY DREAM JOB!!! IT MAKES ME SOOO MAD!!!

Answer #1

In the ADULT world, it’s usually not WHAT you know that gets you a job, it’s WHO you know. So if she’s gotten you a job, that’s perfectly fine! I got my brother a job, and you know what? He was greatful! I never lorded it over his head, either, so if you’re afraid that’s what your sister will do, she probably won’t. Think Jake Gyllenhall and Maggie Gyllenhall, Emily Osment and Haley Joel Osment, Spencer Breselin and Abigail Breselin, Roary Culkin and McCauly Culkin… the younger ones ALL got their foot (feet? ;) ) in the door because of their siblings’ names. It’s not abnormal. It’s the way the game is played! My mother has gotten me a job before- do I feel like a failure? NO! I feel happy to be working!! Same goes for my receptionist- her sister got her the job. You’re really showing your age here, kiddo.

Instead of pouting that you weren’t discovered sipping a mocha on the streets of Hollywood, or by spending thousands of your parents’ money and constantly disrupting their lives by making them take you to auditions, be glad you have this opportunity!

Answer #2

No, I said ‘stupid reason’ and stop being ‘petty’.

I’m not trying to make you mad…I’m calling it as I see it.

You’ve been given an opportunity, and you want to spit it back out just because you didn’t get to do it your way…that’s pretty childish.

Answer #3

Well, have you never stopped to consider, that if everyone else is telling you the same thing…maybe they’re right and YOU are the one who’s wrong?

Answer #4

no affense, but you guys arent helping at all. this is the same thing that my family is telling me with a lot less profanity and I cant see the fire in your eyes.

Answer #5

wth we’re trying to help you, just like you asked

Answer #6

You know; Ashley Simpson wouldnt have gotten the job if it werent for Jessica. She sucks. I was going to use Miley Cirus but yeah.lol

Answer #7

Wow wow wow wow wow… did you say “stupid reason” and to “stop being pretty.” Are you trying to make me mad?

Answer #8

noone gets anywhere in life without help, almost everyone has accepted help when the start

Answer #9

When opportunity knocks - you take it.

It’s not a matter of having it ‘handed to you’, it’s a matter of having the chance to do what you want to do. Why would you turn it down over such a stupid reason as a comparison to Ashlee Simpson?

Stop being petty…if you get a chance to do this, then do it…it’s far more than most people ever get.

Answer #10
