Hi Sonia, I'm sure your "friends" will get over the shock, or grow up!!..Astronomy is many things besides a science and means diffrent things to diffrent people...because it is not "fashonable" like seeing a group of people on exhibition 24/7 and the such!!..You are undertaking an adventue, to discover and learn more about our Universe which we all share. And doing so without harming, degrading or competeing with anyone. Why would someone be cruel to you for that?? My circle of friends were curious at first but were amazed after they could see the features on the Moon, Nebulae's, etc...I even do shows at the local Primary School!!..Even where I work, I get asked to explain an article from a newspaper, etc...So be proud of the fact that you have the willingness and fortitude to venture into the greatest unknown!!...as for those who continue to riddicule..that's just a sign of their petty insecurity...ignore them!!!
Cheers to you!!
