I'm a senior in high school, and have played alto sax since fourth grade. I've LOVED it. I've needed a new sax for years but my parents don't want to get me one. I'm in need of reeds right now, and my parents don't even want to get me those. The reason? They don't think I'll continue after I graduate.
Now, this is ridiculous. I have plenty of tunes I play for fun on my own, I love playing sax, I transcribe, I'm thinking about doubling on another instrument. I've tried convincing my parents that I'm still gonna play, back when I reminded them I needed a new sax. They hardly budged, just saying "maybe we'll get you a used one", and months later, same old sax.
It's like talking to a wall. A cold, dark wall. D: </rant>
