Enroll in an exchange student program, you must at least be acquainted with the language.
2 :
first you'd need to take the GED test to graduate high school. then you'd need to get emancipated from your parents to move out without their consent. after all that, your home free.
3 :
Hey, you can and stay at a student home?
4 :
No, you need parental consent since you are legally a child until you are 18 under English law.
5 :
learn your languages if u REALLY wanna c'mon, save that for college. 16 is your year, the SWEET SIXTEEN! have some drinks, partying, sex! forget school. oh, come on. i'm dead serious. if you don't like my advice, then don't bother reading it.

You will have to graduate high school EARLY (very hard) first, my friend. Then you will have to get into a college that does transfers. Some don't even do transfers abroad until after you have attended that university for a certain period of time. How about this? Continue going to school just as you are, get an afternoon job and save for a trip. You can always take a trip there first and then leave the moving abroad until later on.

AFS is a really good foreign exchange program. You could study abroad with them, but you would be placed in high school.

I graduated HS a long time ago (4-5 years) but my sister is still there and things haven't changed much. 1) There is a program outline you have to follow. There are so many credits you have to earn in order to graduate. Usually, you're not left w/ a lot of choices. The courses are laid out for you already. I think I took 4-5 electives my entire HS career so there wasn't a lot of freedom. The required courses included: economics, government, english, math (algebra, geometry, algebra II, calculus), foreign language (french or spanish), chemistry, biology, physics was optional, computer science, history (european, american, world), physical education (any sport activity like volleyball, soccer, football, baseball, tennis, gym class). Then there were electives like fine art credits: choir, drama class, pottery, yearbook staff, art, home economics, etc. 2) Takes 4 years on average. You can graduate early if you get all your credits done in time. I, for example, took dual credit classes at my local college and then transferred them to my HS so I finished a year early. Finishing any quicker than 3 years is rare. 3) You don't have to go to college after HS but many kids do. These days, it's getting to the point where you almost HAVE to get a college degree to get a good job. There is a test that colleges require called the SAT. It's a standardized test that tests you on your basic knowledge of math and english. There is also the TAKS test that is required to actually graduate from HS. This test evaluates your knowledge on writing, math, science and history. Keep in mind that each HS will be different, require different courses and offer alternatives that others might not. But I summed it up pretty basic for ya. Hope it helped.

well Italy doesn't give u all these opportunities...it's my country...it's very beautiful...but even so boring if u don't live in big cities... if i were u...i'll try to come here 4 a couple of months and see if u like it or not...Italy is good for other things but not for working..it depends about what do u wanna do in your life...what are your interests...look inside u...and think about things that u love...and then u could think about a work...anyway contact me...if u wanna know something more specific... think that i'd like to live in USA...we could switch life.....lol

I agree with kittyy. Miciurina, l'erba del vicino ...

If you've got family there, go visit. Moving isn't permanent, so it can't hurt. It also depends on where they live. If it's out in the country, it may not be the luxurious life you have in your head. Go visit and see if you'd like it.
5 :
Did you watch -Under the Tuscan Sun-?? It's a wonderful movie depicting the Italian way of life, so genuine and slow, the poverty of the peasants and the food! Marcelo the latin lover, I love Itallia and Italian men. It's my dream live in Italy too!

Unfortunately, LEARNING to act is a long process. If you have natural talent, super! If not, this may be something you have to work at your whole life. I've been taking drama classes for two years and have benefited immensly, but I don't think there is any universal measure of time that you can use to say how much time it takes to become an actor. It depends on how good you are and how good you want to be. Anyone can be an actor, but not anyone can be a GOOD actor.
2 :
This is the information for studying in the United States. If you want to study in Italy you should contact the Italian drama schools for information. ---------------------- If you don't have much time to study drama, find another carer. Drama school requires a lot of focus. If you study drama at a University a Bachelor of Ats Deree, in theare, is 4 years. If you study drama at a junior college, it's two years. For a non-degree program, there are theater schools, that have courses where the school term varies in lenght of time to complete the program. From a few months to one-year. I hope this helps.

Depends on your talent.

Traditionally, the League of Professional Theater Training Schools, of which I graduated from one, require four years to get a Bachelor Fine Arts degree in acting. This is not to say that one needs a BFA but that was your question. In Italy I would call the Italian Ministry of Culture in Roma about where the local dramatic academies are what their separate requirements are. Italy is a little different as is the whole EU. Do you wish to do just stage acting? In the EU you should learn far more than English and Italian if you wish to work in the EU. I speak six languages and I still need translators over there often enough. If you intend to do musical, moreso over in Europe, you will need to consider operatic training for working in the state operas, which you know are the most prestigious venues. Also try getting into one of the internships of the historic theaters in Italy. Again ask for further information from the Cultural Ministry or if you are stateside call the Italian Cultural Institute on Park Ave. in New York. They can help you. If you need further help IM me.
