Question
Hi. My name is Taylor. I want so bad to act on Disney channel.Anything at that. What should i do.
I don't have the money for someone to help. I also not have a family that wants to help. This is something i really want to do. What can i do?

Thanks!

Answer
Dear Taylor, I am so sorry to have to tell you that there is nothing you can do.  Labor laws require your parents to sign for you to work professionally until you are 18. Try to find comfort in the fact that in a couple of years this will no longer matter to you. Best Wishes, Doc
