MTV True Life Casting: I Have a Pushy Parent

Are your parents urging you to do your best or their best? Are you tired of having them schedule every minute of your school, sports and social life? Do you ever feel like they’re trying to live their dreams through you? Does your parents’ overwhelming desire for you to succeed make you feel like nothing will ever be good enough?

Maybe you have a pageant mom that’s forcing you to be the best because she misses her glory days. Is your dad taking it upon himself to coach you to superstardom when all you want is to have a weeknight to hang out with friends? If getting a 4.0 means you “didn’t do enough extra credit,” we want to hear from you!

If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 26 and want to show that the view from the top can still be lonely even with mom and dad at your heels, email us to be considered for an upcoming episode of MTV’s True Life produced by Emmy-award winning Gigantic! Productions. Tell us why your parents need to give you a break and be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a recent picture of yourself.
