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(Azarel @ Jan 25 2005, 7:34 PM) I dunno if it has something to do with being white, but mine didn't for the longest time. Then they started comparing to my best friend (Viet), who made straight As, had piano lessons every week, took all the advanced classes, was on a swim team, and had Viet classes AND was the sweetest girl you could ever introduce to your parents. Didn't effect the friendship, but it bothered me that my parents wanted so much outta me. Now I'm my best friend and I are in different high schools, which sucks a lot. Everyone at my school is really smart, so my parents don't compare me to anyone. Now they just send me out with my friends whenever they can so I can be "white-ifed" (aka cultured I guess) ![]() |
