I need feedback on singing?

This user, I reckon is a female has said: "I need some help too! I'm
13 now (almost 14 ) and I wanna be a singer, you know, begin the
career as younger as I can... I'm not sure if it's possible. I have no
money and family support to go to some singing lessons, they're too
expensive here( I live in Croatia). My family doesn't support me at
all. That's the first problem. Some of my friends have heard me
singing. They said I'm really good. I sing literally EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I don't know since when, it just came to me. I was really inspired.
Sometimes I used to watch some musicals, but they only got me sad,
cause they're all like a fairytale, everyone's gorgeous, they know how
to sing... I don't actually care about the look, anybody can look
amazing with tons of makeup, I care about the music. My family has
been cutting me down for a while, but I "ignored" it, actually
pretended I'm not hearing their teasing. I have 4 sisters (yes, 4!!!)
And all of them are teasing me. Today we've been watching some talent
show and then my dad came and watched all those anti -talents and said
"you sing better than them, but you sing solid. You don't have that
much talent to be a singer, you're just solid." My mum doesn't say
anything, sometimes she says something to make me more brave, but she
doesn't give compliments just like that, too. If you wanna hear me
sing, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etv9FbjkqEs and TELL
ME PLEASE can I do something with singing in life, cause I'm helpless.
I seems I can sing only the slow songs, and I am the worst with he
songs by Beyonce or Leona Lewis, their voices are so powerful... I
don't know how to describe my voice, it's like it's weak, I can sing
the "normal notes" well, but still haven't figured out how does my
voice work cause I can't hit those high notes loud and with
confidence. I really can't sing high notes, cause when I get up there,
I sound funny. As simple I'll give you the song You belong with me by
Taylor Swift. When I get to "why can't you see, you belong with me" I
sound like a little girl or, oh, i just don't know how to describe it.
I get quiet when I sing high notes and sound silly, like I have no
confidence. Like I'm afraid. My family's teasing me cause I'm shy to
sing in front of them and then sound silly cause I use to sing with
the mp3, so I don't hear myself. But when I sing "acapella" I can hear
my voice well and control it, but only if singing normal notes, not
too high or too low. Can I be a singer with an OK voice? I'm afraid
not."

Now, this is quite similar to me. And by reading other posts as well
about singing, you could sing as long as you've got passion and
feelings for music. I started singing about when I was 11 years old
but wasnt passionate about music. I was confident singing to anyone
who told me to sing and I gained good feelings those times - in
primary school, yr 5 and 6. My friends used to say my voice is very
nice, and sorta unique.

I havent sang for 1/2 - 2 years over time, because I forgot and didn't
have the 'I love Music' inside me. So now Im in Year 9 and 14 years
old. Since the beginning of the year, I've been singing. Literally
everyday. But like this user has said, my 2 sisters think I cannot
sing, I get discouraged. But when I hear someone else sing, I get
encouraged and try again! :) Tbh, I think my tone or melody in my
voice ain't correct. But I believe I can improve on higher notes, not
sure about tone though. :/ So, people like us, teens need a little
help or comment on here, just be honest as possible and say what would
be the right decision for us. - Also, In some parts of songs I could
sing but then seems like I switch off.. Thanks!!
