Being famous is a struggle, and it can often mean comparing yourself to other people your age. If you have a special talent or interest, take classes to improve your talent and practice it often so that you stand out. You'll have a much better chance at getting famous if you are one of the best in your field. Being good at a sport, excelling in art, acting, singing, and dancing are all examples of talents you could work on developing. Having multiple talents can also help you stand out. Actors who can sing and dance are more well-rounded, and might get more jobs than people who can just act. Acting classes, singing classes, and music lessons all help you become a better performer. Art classes and sports practice will help you get better at your specific skill. Look for film making classes or video game design tutorials to help you create projects that you can show off. To work in the talent industry, people will want to know what you look like. Having a good headshot can lead to a job simply based on the way that you look. Go to a professional to get your headshots taken, and keep them updated as you grow. If your parents are hesitant about spending money on headshots, remind them that they are an investment into your future. Some photography studios have deals on headshots. Look at the professional journals and magazines, such as Backstage Callsheet. This lists all the talent agencies in Los Angeles and New York. Look for the ones who represent famous children and contact them for representation. They can help you find auditions and castings if you're an actor, singer, or model. Remember, no quality agent will sign you without your parents' consent if you are younger than 18. Never follow an agent's direction without consulting with a responsible adult. Always be honest in representing yourself to potential agents. If you don't look anything like your photograph, no agent will sign you. Talk to your parents about moving to an area where the talent industry is more accessible. It is easier to become a famous singer if you're already living in Nashville. If you're in Los Angeles, it will be easier to break into show business. If you are in an area where other famous people are already, it will be easier for you to become famous. Attend events whenever you can which are part of your talent or area of skill, even if you're not on stage. Shows such as American Idol, The Voice, or other well-known competitions are great ways to become famous. Auditions for these shows are held in locations all over the country. Check out the website for the talent show that you want to sign up for. Some require you to send them a video of your talent online, while others let you show up in person to audition. Try to practice your talent daily to have a shot at getting on TV. Remember that the competition for these shows is very tough! You'll find yourself in line with literally thousands of other children, all dreaming of becoming famous. Even if you don't win a talent show, getting on TV as a contestant is great exposure. Everyone can be famous, but most people aren't. This isn't always because they're not talented, but because they decide that other things in their life are more important than being famous. If you truly want to be famous, you'll have to be persistent. If one agency turns you down, move on to the next one. Set goals for yourself in your talent area. Try to improve upon your talent or skill to make it even better.

The marijuana plant's resin can be difficult to wash off. Wearing disposable rubber gloves will protect your hands from its sticky buds. Marijuana plants are fragile and can be sensitive to rough treatment. Trimming your plant must be done carefully. Sharp sewing shears or a sharp kitchen knife should be adequate to trim your plant. Fiskars shears are a good option for trimming. Gardening shears are also commonly used to trim marijuana. Large fan leaves can be plucked with your fingers, as well as clipped with scissors or shears. You should not simply discard the leaves you trimmed. They can be used to make marijuana foodstuffs or hashish. So before trimming your marijuana plants, set three cookie sheets or other wide containers near the plants you'll be trimming. On one sheet, set untrimmed buds. On the second sheet, set newly trimmed buds. And on the last sheet, set the leaves and other plant matter you trim from the plant. The top of your marijuana plant should have a cluster of white hairs sticking out the top of it. These are the plant's pistils, or reproductive organs. As the plant ages, these pistils will change from white to brown. When about 70% of the pistils have darkened to a reddish brown, your plant is ready for harvest. Most people trim their marijuana plants before drying them. This is known as a "wet trim." A wet trim makes it easier to separate leaves from buds, and produces better-looking buds. However, some people trim the plants after the buds of the plant have dried. This is known as a "dry trim." This is the preferred method of trimming in a low-humidity environment, since the leaves will slow the drying process and you want the buds to dry slowly.
