I need someones HELP PLEASE?

OK so Im a senior and of course after I graduate I want to go to college.I have always had a dream of becoming a movie director.From 7nth grade I have always had an affection for the camera and creating Beautiful things with it.I would capture or videotape moments that I thought were meaningful from me including family,nature,animals etc. And then I would stay in front of the computer almost all day editing things or writing some short screen plays etc.(Sometimes I feel that I love it more than I love myself) I even started creating short horror movies with the help of my sisters hahahaha.I know that I don't know anything about directing a movie but you always have to start from the bottom don't you.But my problem is not this my problem is that t I live in a society were people do not appreciate anything that has to do with art, creativity etc. And that means that I don't have a future here,and if I want to be a director I need to leave my family and my country forever.I have a really strong bond with my family and the worst part is that no one is supporting me either ,they are insisting that I should become a layer or something like that, basically I am left on my own .It has gotten to a point where I am beginning to lose faith in myself and believing that I can't do anything. So what do you think guys what should I do or what would you do if you were in my place?????
