text: i wanna be a star,but i live in a small town  and i dont wanna do community theater so dont say crap like that i love acting and i wanna be famous like raven without movig or paying alot! i will love u if u help later!!! please!!!! i am answering this because you are so insistent and somehow have that desperate sound to your lil’ voice, so please listen up well.  start with talent agencies for kids, go for auditions, do some local commercials (tv, radio if you have a good voice, etc.) and theater, etc.   but i would say at your age your biggest challenge is convincing your parents to support you with your dream of becoming an actor.   having said that, i think your best option is to stay in high school, take as many acting classes as you can (at school, local theaters, private lessons, etc.) read up about it on the internet as much as you could, get some experience under your lil' wings by doing small parts, etc.   ...very few people ever make it in this cutthroat competitive field.   you don't need to rush it, if you have the inborn talent/are really good at it, and work hard at it by paying your dues, you can be sure it will eventually come to you.   couple of important issues:  1- do you love acting because it is your calling in life, or because you wanna be famous?   if you think acting is your free ticket to fame and riches think again and save yourself a lot of unnecessary headache.  if you love acting because it makes your lil' soul happy then why not start with smaller roles in local productions and build your way up?  that's exactly how some of the most famous actors in hollywood were discovered. like i said, if you are any good, somebody will eventually know about it and will give you an offer.   also it does not hurt to convert your parents to your camp, by trying to be as good a student as you can possibly be in your other school subjects - that way they are liable to take you and your acting wishes/dreams much more seriously.   2- but please, whatever you do, don't think about running away from home at your age  (or any age) to become an actor somewhere!  that would be the worst decision of your life ever; even if you were 18 or 21, which you are not.   so be patient, learn as much as you could, pay your dues, try to be a decent human being and good things will come to you in good time.   good luck dear!
