Your problems is a difficult thing to solve :mmmh: . I red your post entirely and it seems that you don't agree too much your parents' decisions, and it is normal... About Albena, it seem a good place for have a lot of fun, obviously if you're not working :whistle: ... Erenda, it could be a nice experience if you see it in a positive perspective. When one has your age doesn't think too much at the future, I can assure you that if your family has not a lot of money the only way that you'll have for your independency is to find a good work and earn money. The art that we practice here at last is only fun. There are masterpieces here, I like them a lot but if I compare the best of them with some picture of Michelangelo or other italian great artist of the past (italian because I can simply go there and see because I'm here :lol: ) they are not the same. I think that this kind of art is for people who already was born with the talent, geniuses (genii). If you're a genius you'll earn a lot of money with your work, if you're not a genius and you want to work in the art's world you've to study and practice a lot in order to obtain the "piece of paper" that could let you find a good work, like an illustrator, for example. Your parent have chossen for you a school different from what was your attitude, and i think it's wrong because my parents have done the same with me, I had (and still have) a talent for mechanics and electronic and they sent me to liceum to study latin and philosophy, then at the university I failed and now I drive buses (Hey, I'm not so unhappy with my life, I'm a person with not so much ambitions if not live happily and with my hobbies). What I can suggest you is to finish your schools studying well, your primary objective should be to find a good work and leave your attitude for art as a secondary objective: it will never be too late for it ! If you've an idea for a picture you can paint it now or an year from now and it wll be the same... In the future it could be that you'll succed to earn money with your art, why not ? But if you've a good and stable work it shall not be a "life or dead" matter. Bulgaria is not one of the richest country, 100 € a month is very little but the life there shouldn't cost like here (I hope...), you should say us how much costs for example a 33 cl can of coca cola there, to have an idea... However you should seriously consider to find a work abroad, like in western europe or U.S.A. so an experience talking english or german in a tourists' place is not so bad (if they don't put you in the kitchen to clean dishes :uuh: ). At last my suggestion is: try it for a week, if you don't like it fake illness and come home (your parents will be not happy...) I'll send you my address in a PM (even if a "whois" on posetteforever.com it's the same...) so you [b]shall[/b] send me and Posy a postcard :lol: and let we know how the things are going :pray: , even if you can't have access to internet there ( old style communication :lol: ). When you'll have to leave ?
