    Hi, I’m 17 too and I’ve got a very unsupportive family as well, they have been abusive throughout my childhood. Its your life at the end of the day so don’t let anyone take away your opportunity. If people oppose you, you can still find ways to achieve what you want.

    I know just how you feel as I have abusive parents and I know that they hate me more than just not caring for me. But you know what- it really doesn’t bother me! Because I feel the same way back about them because they are in the wrong. However that’s not the point of what I’m trying to say. I think its really important for you to remember that its not your loss at all that they don’t care, you are not the one who should be feeling sorry or upset- they are. This is because you were a child in the family and therefore also part of the future of the family even if there were other children, their own children. For example, if you become really successful in your career, say, you end up famous or something then at the time they can’t come and say ‘yeah, that’s my girl!’ as much as they’ll want to. Even if you don’t end up famous, you will still go on to do really well and no matter what its their loss.

    If I were you I think the best thing to do therefore is to just leave it and maybe one day he’ll realize and if he doesn’t then their loss at the end of the day. But if you want then maybe try talking to him about it directly and see what he says.

    Hi Guy! Sorry my reply is late. My question on meditation is that there is this thing called the ‘third eye’ located between your eyebrows or something. But where exactly is this third eye and do you need to squint closing your eyes to see it?

    Yes because we all need a sense of greater purpose even if we don’t know exactly what that purpose is or how we fit into it. I know that not everyone believes in destiny but I certainly do which is why I wrote this post! I have like a strong compass guiding me at all times, I call this compass conscience. So we all have a special mission like no other but that doesn’t mean doing nothing, that means following conscience. Its about following your heart but don’t lose your head, this means making use of your talents etc. Also serving humanity by helping ppl like charity & also by being a part of community. Doing all this means that you are on track in life. By the way this concept of a special purpose for everyone in the universe is from Buddhism, google it and you will see many Buddhist sites that support this idea.

    I am actually 17 year old Indian girl myself. I personally prefer a more conservative field like doctor, engineer to match my views and lifestyle but that’s just my own story. My advice to you would be to follow your heart but don’t lose your head. At the end of the day, its your decision not your parents because its your life. Don’t let anything hold you back. Make sure you know what each career involves and compare it with your own lifestyle and beliefs and ask yourself, ” Is this right for me?” if the answer is yes then great! You are capable of succeeding in any job, in any field in life. But not if you don’t enjoy doing it. I think its also important to remember that it is possible to be very well known but not famous for something. Like if you run a successful business then you might be well known and famous but not in a celeb kind of way. Another thing is that while power comes with fame, there is such a thing as fame without power and power without fame.

    So follow your dreams and follow your heart but make sure you don’t lose your head. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
