First of all, just be positive. Tell your parents you'd like to try something new, and then explain what it is. Tell them that there's a GREAT forum of wonderful clown people that would love to help you with it, and if they want, sit down and show them the forum. We're here to help you get started, and going, so don't be afraid. If your parents have questions, I'm sure anyone on here would love to help answer them. Scruffy's a great guy to talk to and be at ease with. If you have any questions, just ASK!!

Hey it's easy just tell them they want yell they may laugh a lil but thats why were clowns to make people laugh so don't ever be afraid to go after your dreams. When I told people that all I wanted to do in my life was write childrens books and be a clown I got laught at and told I would never make it. That was 2 years ago. Today I own Clown Biz Entertainment and we proform in over 350 shows a year and i have writen 2 childrens books that Iam geting ready to publish. So never be afraid to chase your dreams and know one can take those dreams away but you. If you ever need any help you can count on us you can Email me at Jenzo@Jenzoandlucytheclowns.com.

Why not just tell your parents you'd like to try some clowning? What's so terrible about being a clown that you're afraid of telling your parents? I've never thought of being a clown as something you have to "come out" about! Besides, you'll probably need a "real job" in the beginning just to afford big shoes, funny hats and tricks. Let them think the "real job" is the one that brings in money. We clowns all know better.
If you have a theatrical store in town, they might be able to put you in touch with a clown alley -- a group of local clowns -- who could be wonderful help in exploring the world of clowning. You can also call area hospitals to see if they have a group of volunteer clowns. Explore the internet, create your character, make a costume, learn an act and volunteer. Clowning is a WONDERFUL thing to do because you can start as a hobby, move up to a part time job and, sometimes, become a full time professional clown. The key is to do SOMETHING.
