I hate my life

All I want is to act. I wish it can just be easy for me. Right now, I have no access to transportation and I don't have a lot of money. My mom doesn't know how to just simply talk to me. Everything turns into a lecture where it sounds like she's attacking me...

Are there any agents on here willing to answer PM'ed questions? *Not looking for representation, just trying to get some answers on things*

I know it's a longshot, but I figure we're all anonymous on here, and we're all human. I have questions that no one can seem to answer. As the title says, I am not trying to contact you for representation. I will not send you my materials or anything like...
