I think you should talk to your parents and get their support and help about this matter.

Hi Tiffie..
Join the club! Acting is a wonderful way of expressing yourself! If you are an artist at heart, then acting is going to be lots of fun!
Depending upon where you live, (maybe Hollywood), there are lots of places you can go and take lessons. Those usually cost alot of $$
If you live in a small town, then you should get involved in theater at your park or school or community theater.
You need to tell your parents your dreams because you are a minor and they need to take you to agents, auditions and things like that.
If you would like to get called on auditions all them time, wait until 25-30 other kids took their turn auditioning..being told more than once you`re great but not quite right for the part.....then if you`re luck and get the part.......
If you think sitting on a set all day, waiting and waiting your for your scene is fun. Like to go in front of a bunch of adult producers and directors (without your mom) to read a script, have to go to school, then HEY!! You`ve got what it takes to at least try!!

When you do, tell your parents to look for SAG (Screen Actors Guild) agents. You can find them on the internet. If they are not SAG...STAY AWAY!!!!....
They are the only ones who have legal obligations to protect you when working.
STAY AWAY from modeling agencies/talent agencies that tell you they can make you a star. They are business that take lots of money from you and tell you that you will be the next Brittany Spears or Mary Kate and Ashley.....they really don`t care about you...they have many many girls just like you with a dream. Your best bet is to find an agent (SAG), have your mom or dad send a school picture...and go for an interview. If they like you, then they will be honest and refer you to the right photographer, and maybe some commercial/acting workshops (they never hurt).
Why am I tellling you all this...because my niece was on Full House (not Michelle), and I learned alot about the business. I`m also an actress/mom, and have two daughters who tried at your age.

Good luck with your dream! Don`t give up, it can happen! But don`t forget who you are, and be true to yourself! Be smart and realistic...keep your feet always on the ground! You`ll do fine!
Good luck to your and your career!
