my parents always compare me to other people so they can imbue some good sense into me, yes it's for my own good, but it really gets annoy especially when i just had a busy day, also, it seems like they don't have confidence in you and i feel like i am always not good enough.
my dad for example, he is like an expert on it, he used the " 'bad kid' who got less than 1200 on his sats and now he is going to community college....." example ever since i came to US, and he compares me to all his friend's kids or just random high school salesclerk who works at wal-mart etc. and he would often point to those over achievers in the newspaper, like the girl who got perfect score on her ACTS and go "why can't you just be just like her?? She is only 16, and you only have a year to prepare for those standard tests......" At least my mom is not that bad... I hate it when they compare me to other people I am sure that most of your parents do the same thing too. |

QUOTE(xj_liana_tx @ Jan 26 2005, 2:40 PM) my mom tells me how the second grade little girl can read harry potters and how she got her report card and her teachers wrote a bunch of good stuff on it... OMG teachers ALWAYS write good stuff/ compliment you so you don't get discouraged.. well now i think about it, my parents are the ones who actually do the discourage job.  harry potter is for newbie readers that can't read.. dude... hecka ppl in my school pretend to read by reading Harry Potter. they don't know how to read sadly... QUOTE(oiograceoio @ Jan 26 2005, 9:17 PM) dude... its a korean thang... Korean parents love talking about their kids' GPA or what college they go to... or their SAT scores... and saying stuff like "well HER daughter's going to Yale".... -_-;; yea... so what??!! gRaCe~! its also a parent thang. QUOTE(lidoaznboi89 @ Jan 26 2005, 9:58 PM) asian kids always get compared to other asian kids when they cant compare themselves to other, kinda stupid -__- mmhmmm... well, i get compared all the time cuz im smart. they (my parents) compare me to the smarter people and the people who aren't that smart, but hey, i concentrate in school better that way.. |
