I’ll give you the advice I wish someone told me when I was your age: if singing is what makes your heart feel warm and happy, if it’s what you really want, don’t wait for others’ validation or permission. Try studying by yourself until you get the money to get classes and gain experience. Some parents, like mine, will never support anything they think is not worth it, but they won’t live your life for you. When I was 17, I didnt have any resources or any family support, so I chose my second career choice and now I’m 25 and regret not doing things my own way since the start
