Nope it doesn't sound trivial at all. I don't really know what i would do in your situation... I think that they think that they're doing what is best for you (i am not saying that they're right). And if you look at it from that point of view, you might try to show them that someting else would be better for you. 

Sit down and talk to them - that's an adult thing to do  :lol: 
Look as if you understand and care about what they're saying, keeo eyecontact - everyone likes to be listen to.
Write down what you're going to say before you talk with them, find facts if you can to back up your arguement ( like the crime statistic of Albena, what a journalst can earn as well as travelling to cover news etc)
Think of what they might obect to and come up with a counter arguement for that.
Don't say things like It is, I can/can't, don't make statements. Say things like i experiance...i feel,..... sounds stupid i know but for some reasons it makes people listen more.

What they said about your drawing i think they said to discourge you, you know make you stop because they think that it is a profession that it is hard to make a living in.
My aunt & uncle was the same way with my cousin. He's really good at music, always has been. His parents felt that it was too hard to make it in the music industri, they wanted him to choose anonther profession. They even hid his radio and instruments. Even though it was a lot of fights and was a struggle for him to make his dreams come true, he did it. He is now a composer, he has played for many of the kings and queens in europe, there' has been documenteries about him, he has written books, he has writen music for a lot of tv things, he has won awards and he's a multimillionaire.  ( He's acomposer of modern classical music). All because he did what he wanted to do and not what everyone told him to do.  Everyone said he couldn't do it. Now his parents are proud of corse...
