Ohey, you're Asian too? Care to specify exactly where you/your parents are from?
And my parents used to be like that too, but with my... slight... lack of motivation, my parents said that they've given up on me. Result? I don't get as many lectures and oddly, I'm a bit more self-motivated (okay, that was kind of a lie), and I still get okay grades... not stellar exactly (mostly low- to high-range As, except in English, dammit). But anyway, I think our school gives out report cards in the mail.
And that quote regarding English? My parents pretty much said that exact thing to me last year, only in Mandarin. xD
It's the SAME thing on my side.
"Why is your Credit Earned a 0?"
"It's a mid-term, mother."
"Why are you dropping marks? Do you need a tutor? You have to stop playing those games! Those games are the corruption in your schoolworks!"
x..X
@ Froggy: Well, not now, but back in June, and before that.
@ Chameleon: Chinese, specifically. I wish I could get my parents to not care, but pride prevents me from getting my grades too low. XD
@ Pirkid: "Why are you dropping marks? Do you need a tutor? You have to stop playing those games! Those games are the corruption in your schoolworks!"
That's what my parents say too, but they say computer or anime instead, since I don't play many games anymore.
Yay! Chinese friend! :D
Oooooh that darn pride. It's what motivates me as well. xD
Yay! It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival and I can leech money off my grandparents again! =)
Gotta 'save face', you know? ^^
Lol, I only have one set here. T_T
I have...old world korean mom, and old world italian dad...fuck ones an asian the others a mobster >l
"So, Leelund, got a B in European History, huh? You are part European! How could you get a B! But, it's okay. I'll teach you some history you won't ever forgot. Gregorio! Take the boy to the abandoned warehouse over the hill. You and Lorenzo teach him about European warfare...."
lolololol
Hmm.
When I get bad grades, my mom blames it on my friends that don't have all A's.
Mom: -looks at report card- "WAAH? YOU GOT A B?!"
Me: "Don't hurt me :<"
Mom: "AH! THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT AMERICAN FRIEND OF YOURS! STOP SPENDING TIME WITH HER! SHE LOWER YOUR GRADES! BAD INFLUENCE! BAD INFLUENCE! YOUR FRIEND, DANIEL. HE HAS GOOD GRADES! LOOK UP TO HIM!"
Me: "B-but...I'm the 2nd smartest out of everyone. Daniel is top."
Mom: "I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE SMARTER THAN ANYONE. ONLY COUNTS IF THEY SMARTER THAN YOU!"
I don't know why my mom attempts to speak english to lecture me. It just makes me confused D:
Er...
To be honest, I think I've heard Asian parents over nine thousand times. Literally...
I understand it sucks, but the talk about asian parents gets redundant after a while. @_@
... Although its amusing. :D
But yar. Those asian parens are strict, to the point that one of my asian friend (who really isn't a friend but whatever)'s Dad uses me as an example for him to get better. The kid has gotten crazy because of his Dad. Its like he rules his life...
