I just picked my GCSEs recently, art, music, philosophy and ethics GCSEs and BTEC performing arts. There is always such a fuss about what to choose. one decision that could change your future forever. But what if it was the wrong choice and there is no way of going back, I mean that's quite a lot of pressure for a young person to cope with. Then you have to worry about what others think of your decision and if its ok with them, teachers always say not to follow your friends or what your family want you to do but its natural, we follow other people to make us feel safe. Its like asking its like asking an elephant to jump. Never going to happen. Its worrying thinking about your future and where you will be in 10 years time because you don't know. its all very well others talking about it and saying it will be fine but its you who has to live through it not them and sometimes that can be hard knowing which path to take. 
That's the thing i like about art, there is no wrong way of making it. that's why i think it's a bit stupid to have an exam on it. Same with music and drama. They are not things you have to do but things you do because you have something to bring to the world or to show people or just to be noticed for being you. You have all these celebrities who do all this amazing stuff like songs you can really relate to or inspiring performances of work they have interpreted in there own way, but how do you know there isn't someone in the background writing all the amazing songs we hear on the radio or the moving sketches that make you feel a certain way are written by people in the background. The real geniuses. They have the mental stability to stay calm and let someone else take the credit for something they didn't do even though they didn't lift a finger.
Its better now though. People who work their buts off getting the credit they deserve, the real role models who we should be looking up to, the ones who make you feel a certain way about something. Celebrities are like the puppets being controlled by the puppeteers in the background that know body sees.
