Life of a lot of r/AsianParentStories Asian Children

Be born

Maybe get pampered a few years when you're still cute and stupid.

Grades. Grades, grades, grades, grades and FUCKIN' GRADES.

Get fearmongered in various ways to be Doctor Lawyer Engineer or Accountant OR ELSE.

Get your grades tied to your worth/how you're treated.

Your childhood schedule is wake up, school, back from school, eat, cram school, drink, another cram school, shit, and sleep. Time for socializing with friends? What's "socializing"? HAH!! If you have time for that, it's time to STUDY!!!!

Get groomed to aim for only prestigious careers. You know, crush your individuality and personality to set your sights on high grades & doctor lawyer engineer pharmacist accountant "for your own good", because "we sacrificed so much for you", and "we want what's the best for you."

Be miserable in university hating what you're studying, but stay, because "eat bitterness now, taste sweet later", "no pain, no gain." It's normal, right??

Come out not being able to utilize what you slaved to get because you only studied to get the degree, not studied to learn.

Realize you became the Asian "made to study what they didn't want" statistic.

Get permanently burnt out and can barely function, moreover move out.

Maybe end up as the stereotypical "failed Asian child bookkeeper" at family business being paid peanuts with no prospect of a good future.

Your life is fucked.

Any questions or anything alluding to them taking accountability for vicariously living through you is met with how much they spent on you. Money, money, money, MONEY!!

Everyone else also blame YOU like you asked to be born and groomed into something you were never meant to be!!
