I was forced to play Piano and Violin, but if I was caught listening to Beethoven on my CD player instead of doing math I got punished. My childhood was solely focused on having good performance rather than the joy of playing music or learning something I liked. I got all A's in high school, except once I got a B+ and was scolded. By college I burnt out and nearly quit school forever. To piss off my tiger mom I went back packing for 2 years after college and became an artist.

If I had gotten a 710 on my SAT .. my mom would have praised me to high glory and took me out shopping .. man .. my mom and dad are the best when it comes to academics!

“It’s okay , it’s okay” - mom walks off to her room to grab some chopsticks to throw at her daughter once the camera man leaves

It's always a competition between siblings when it comes to grades

wow...some people think that is strict...her mom only said not good enough ...

I watched other videos and this girl got into Dartmouth, so her mum is clearly ill informed on good SAT scores.

that is soooooo NOT strict.. i have asian parents and they literally YELL at me every single day if i get one C in all of my classes or if i take a mini break during a 5 hour study session

The girl is so mean to the mom. The mom said it's ok at the end

Just gonna say that Michael looks pretty cute in my opinion

Believe me, this is not strict at all compared to what I experience from my parents.

My parents wants to be like that... But they got better things to do, than to nag me to study and i hate studying when i am back home... But i still got 1st place in my class on every test

Well, I'm an Asian studying in Finland. I got 4+ on my Finnish test, 5 is the maximum grade (last time I got 5). When I told my dad about this, he was like "huh? only 4+???" well, that's just typical LOL

I'm Eastern Band Cherokee and my parents were like this...although we take the ACT where I came from. Still got me into Yale.

710 isn't a good score if she is trying to get into ivy leagues.. that's the truth. Not trying to put her down but 730 in Math level 1? If all she wanted to do was to apply to her state flagship university then 710 is great, but when everyone is scoring 800s and sending them to ivy leagues how are you going to compete with them..

And after this video ended, we never heard from this girl again.

No this was a test score, and this was a sat subject test, which is somewhat like an a-level. These tests are graded from 200 to 800 in ten point increments, with 800 being the highest. Strictly percentile wise, a 710 on that particular test is probably like a 70th percentile score, which may not seem amazing but keep in mind that the people taking subject are very skilled at that subject, so its still a good score, but in the end a college admissions officer will decide what a "good" score is.

My parents are not like that. They let me do what ever I want to do and I got 800 on math II and 760 on Physics.

I understand her situation completely. My parents are like. If I don't get a better than average grade, it's automatically a bad grade

this is literally my parents irl

I know how she feels I got a C on math test and I asked my teacher if it was a good grade she said yes but when I go home this is exactly what my parents said "thats only a passing grade I expected at least an A- i know it sucks parents grounded me for a year and that same day I got a spanking.

Hahaha I heard “u are doctor yet” looool

i know it's basically my fault alone, but sometimes i wish my parents would have been that strict, too. when they saw that i studied night and day they even accepted a c mark. now it's very hard to find work with my bad marks and i feel like i ruined my life already. if i ever have children on my own i want to raise them like this, even if i'm not asian.

Tells son to become a neurosurgeon. Works at Detroit's Mcghetto janitorial team at the age of 52...

My parents would've compared me to my cousin and called me useless lol

the girl is rude to her mom...

At the end of the day, it comes down to, your GPA. Mine was a 4.79/5 so like 97th percentile. I got mostly A's in my 4 years of high school. But, I got encouragement and I studied out of passion, because my parents didn't make me feel restricted, I got a 1510 on the official SAT exam, I was hoping for a 1550 for the amount of time I spent studying. I told my mom and she told me that it was enough and I didn't need to take it anymore. My parents don't pressure me, I'm also Indian so that makes a point there. I mean sure my mom does slap me if I got like a 70 in a quiz, but they don't emotionally deteriorate me and make it feel like hell the time I get the bad score. I got a 30 once on an APCSA test and my mom was like ok, we will sort this out, and she didn't slap me then.

This reminds me of my parents. They're not Asian, but Russian. But it's basically the same. Me and my brother have a 12 year difference, he's older than me, but I still get compared to him so much.

@Nazmi Harun no it's a B because 800 is A 700 is a a B 600 C 500 D below is consider low score or below the average. Because the national average is 410 in reading 470 writing and 510 in math

No 800 on math SAT?! I am disappoint!

Not all asian parents are strict. Mine is very encouraging, my aunty is very strict.

@mathewheffley121 no trust me a 710 is in the higher percentile the average American student gets around 500 and that can get you into a good school among other things, a 710 can easily get you into a lot of schools, my friend got similar scores and he is going to NYU and could get into Yale as well

If I was her mother I would be dead getting a 840 on my sat

@PSunProductions Finally, someone who uses logic.

Yeah, I know the frustration when it comes to the whole SAT crap, just because I didn't get anything near even a 2000. At the end, I was still accepted and got scholarships in the colleges I actually wanted to go to, brand name doesn't guarantee a good product, why would it be the same with education? XD Then again, I was just diagnosed with autism which may explain my learning difficulties. Still....

I get A’s but that is considered as a an average in a Asian Household

Hope this doesn't hurt them mentally.

you should feel lucky if your parents care about your grades in my opinion even if i scored the highest grade in the sats they wouldnt care

I laughed to the fact that the mother said that 710 wasn't good enough, unbelievable. A score of 710 is near 800, therefore it's a really high score lol

shes laughing when the camera is on but when its off she fastly smack the shyt out of her looooooools jk

I love asian parents

Man i got a 700 and partied...

I understand your parents want the best, but if parents are pissed because they get 710 and not perfect scores there is something wrong. She would still get into some of the top universities with those scores

That ain’t strict

Like i always say, It's good enough.

I heard people saying Asian parents were strict. My mother whoops me for the slightest pitch of a wrong tone.

My brother got a 775 and my mom said it wasn’t good because my oldest brother got a perfect score. I got 724 on a practice but I’m not going to til her

Wait how does the 710, 720 thing work? I’m still confused. In Canada and USA, we have scores on 100 and on 8.

@nyatio 800. A 710 will get you into most colleges easily

im an american kid and i told my parents to be really hard on me. lol i get so mad when they say its ok with a low A

Am I the only one that is strict on my own self. Like there was once where I got a 100 on a test but I still felt bad because I got 2 questions wrong, but got the bonus question right. My parents don't really care what I get as long as it's passing.

710? what is te total marks?

my parents are like that xD

Emotional Damage.

around c- i think

Normal for Asian

not all asians parents like that .

lets just say the average score was 75,and you got around a 76.Is that still good?I wouldve done the same thing as her parents.SAT's is big

@BboyPryde321 My dad threw my laptop against the wall when this happened.

My parents exactly XD :3

@DKotakufreak OMG .. IKR D: i took so many S.A.T prep courses ... was like a full year of everyday goign to a S.A.T prep programs and even weekends.... Its like 8am-6pm or later depending on the situation. Summer S.A.T boot camp is like much worse.. -_-... I had like no life.. hate when parents control everything..

Cool mom. My dad would have grabbed my laptop and smash it to the ground. I don't know why people complain so much. Your even lucky to have parents that push you so far.

@SirClaiyton LOL

2018

@X3sAiiDaDaB0MBx3 Why do I have to be dumb for my parents to be happy with the grades I recieve? I'm a good student. My parents don't push me to my max and I appreciate that. Maybe you like it, I don't.

at least this girls parents are better than the other girl's parents. they're much, much more forceful and aggressive

EMOTIONAL ABUSE, THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS!! :(

micheal is a mamas boy.

I know how she feels every single day.. Lecture every day.. Made fun by my siblings and cousins.. >_< sucks..

i think people just don't take the time to walk in the shoes of Azn parents. we all think they're irrational or tyranical but at the same time they were students when they were young too. plus they grew up in an era where the only way to get out of their situtation or to leave Asia was through academics. but at the same time these parents don't take the time to consider things from our perspectives. 710 is excellent but in their eyes it's not good enough because it has to be perfect

@InternetWizard2010 I.K.R. I used to be beaten because I wasn't the first in class when I was younger. Like wtf? I was banned from going out of the house except to school and was given book after book to do.

1440 is not bad at all max is 1600 even bill gates only got a 1590 not perfect

It destroys the kids' souls this type of parenting

This is how I'm going to educate my children. I'm not raising weak willed Americans.

this isn't strict...

Im sure if ur the camera wasnt there ur mom wouldnt be laughing and started lecturing u rite?

This kinda stuff kills kids inside and yeah maybe you can get a good job and be successfull but will you be happy with you childhood/ and for the rest of your life? Parenting is very tough because they have to learn the balance of how to get the message across but not suck the soul out of Thier kids 710 is a good score and her mom says not good she needed to say that's not bad at all, but push yourself and see how far you can get

Once I had 96 percent on my maths test and my teacher said it’s really good and excellent and back home I told my mum I had 96 guess what she did to me... She literally slapped me and SAID GO TO UR ROOM AND STUDY AND DONT EAT DINNER I was crying my head off and I wanted to slit my wrist..........

I DONT GET IT......THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS...THEY HAVE COMPLETE RIGHT TO PUSH YOU TO DO WELL......EVEN PRESSURIZE YOU A LITTLE TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOU.....ATLEAST TILL 18 YEARS OF AGE.....AFTER ALL IT WAS BECAUSE OF THEM THAT YOU WERE BORN

i wouldn't call this strict...they just high expectation asian parents... :o

if i were she i would tell that women get out of my room and give a big o0o to that god damn boy.

@ladylusciouz yeah it's a B

kwvin

This girls attitude is not it... she needs to fix up

@BboyPryde321 boo hoo hoo. I really feel sorry for you.
