One of my parent is strict and narc at the same time so imagine growing up with that

3:20

By 2024, a lot of Asian parents will wish they never pressured their kids into Ivy League schools after they came out as woke, Marxist idiots.

To me, if your goal is to go to a top school, go to work for a big company, make a lot of money, and live a live a good life... then your goal is too small... If you want to change the world, then you need to go to top schools...

What breaks my heart is her mom not hugging her if she gets below 800 and the fact SHE KNOWS HER PARENTS ARE LIVING TROUGH HER and basically isolated her all her life all her childhood years just taken away and for what? She didn't even make i cause she was forced to do nothing but study! Horrible parents and in the end they still tried to put up a front (also the comments say she didn't get in but may i ask what was that near the end on the computer that said congrats?)

A parent must develop both IQ and EQ. You need more than intelligence to succeed in life. You need good social skills. When you grow up not having time to spend with friends, because you are studying all the time, you do not learn social skills. I know a lot of straight A students who literally do not know how to manage a casual conversation.

These parents are not pushing their kids to excel so they can live to have better lives. They push their kids to live the dreams they couldnt have.

Yep, my Asian mom from HK was not like this. She and my dad raised me with a focus on sports and extracurriculars, and through that I realized my growing passion for learning. I then got into a prestigious American boarding school, and eventually attended Harvard and Columbia. While I was at Harvard and Columbia, I noticed that there were many, many kids like me-kids whose parents appeared to behave like mine. This mom has NO idea what an Ivy wants, and NO idea how intelligent Ivy admissions officers are. They can easily see that the kid’s life is being dictated by her mum. I’m credible because I am training as a Harvard admission’s interviewer now and they teach you how to recognize these patterns. It actually shows that the student isn’t as intellectually independent as they seem. This is so unfortunate…

I feel like this needs to have a trigger warning

For knowing these people well... It's absolutely INSANE!

Any Asian can study and get perfect scores. But to get into an Ivy League University, the admissions team will have to consider other areas such as your leadership potential and all-roundedness - and these come from having an extracurricular activity outside of academics like gymnastics, journalism club, running for school president, etc. Particularly for business management disciplines.

That last father hug was so awkward lol😂😂 He is not used to show affection to his children.

the family at 8:30 is exactly why my sister and i didnt get along until my late twenties. it wasnt bad enough to have my father mocking my bad grades, he had to compare me to my sister and teach her to join the mocking

Your kids are not There to fix your failed life

Me when I get 770 on math SATS: Why did I lose 30 😢 Me when I get 770 on literature SATS: Wow, I scored that high? I've improved since elementary.

These clowns of a parents are lucky, that their child haven't snap yet like Esmie Tseng or Jennifer Pan.

Wherever this girl is. I hope she's doing well.

It seems to me scripted 😅

These parents are clueless as to what goes into getting accepted at an Ivy League school. You need to be a well-rounded person not just a great test taker. Everyone who applies to the Ivies is at the top of their high school classes so the factors that differentiate them are their extracurricular and community credentials. No school wants just bookworms who study but have nothing to offer to the university community. Sophie isn't special enough because her parents only focused on academics. She's not a well-rounded person sad to say nor does she seem to be someone who is cherishing her high school life.

This is why they live alone at a old age.

This is fucked up

Dysfunctional parenting.

imagine spending ur entire childhood studying. goes to college, the med school. then u finally become a doctor in mid 30s. works stressful job till ure 60-70. what a waste of life. u lived ur entire life making money that u never had the time to enjoy it when u were young and youthful.

Who are the parents I want to know where they are now

BUMMER

Funny enough, I’m surprised that Asian families have such strong family structures

It shows how much asian has to work to be the best among others

“Everything else is lower class” My goodness! Sophie’s dad is…something else smh

Sophie pisses me off

My parents weren't as crazy as the parents in the video, but I can relate with the video. I was basically punished for not being a good student. Got smacked around and spanked. It made me feel negative about school and studying. Education felt like a chore. I disliked reading. It was until after punishing me and realizing it wasn't working that they decided to get me a tutor. That helped me out, but the damage was already done. My life was directed by what they think was best for me. I never got to explore what I wanted. It took me having a paradigm shift and moving away from my family to help me to listen to my inner voice. When i started exploring for myself, my education and school performance excelled. That was because I wasn't under pressure. However, I still felt like I bloomed a little too late because of my upbringing. Oh wells, better late than ever.

Western Parents: I love my kids and see them as a human! Asian Parents: talking financial investment go brrrrr

I also worked for an Asian (Chinese woman) and her son was so sick of her pressure he told me he wished his mom was dead: that shocked me. She was awful though

Married to an asian man. He knows how to do everything: he won’t do a single thing Terrified he will not do it perfectly: so I have to do everything

This is why affirmative action in the IVY leagues is so deeply offensive and disrespectful to me being Asian American.

That’s how they learn to hate their parents when growing up. My dad’s friend’s Asian and had a tough mom that would force her to ply the cello and she got in ivy and she doesn’t talk to or about her mom.

Every child deserves a parent, but not every person deserves a child.

brother I got a 1500 on the SAT 700 on english and 800 on math, my mom went crazy. These asian parents need to stop putting pressure on these kids, and let them live life like they want to.

Bro I got into UT Austin CS with a 18 percent acceptance rate and my mom partied for 3 days straight. what are these parents.

Now do a documentary on South Asian parents. The expectations are almost as high when it comes to education. If not then it's dispersed into different areas of life causing the same amount of strain on the kids. In addition to that if you show even the slightest amount of attitude (or something your parents can perceive as attitude like being tired) then you get beat. Or at the very least treated with extreme aggression. Verbal and psychological abuse.

what is the tv show

9:02 His brother looks handsome 👀

THIS is the emotional damage that I have been looking for!

That's why Asian Parents has gone too far

Sophie almost cry

They should be in there 30s by now. I wonder how they're doing in life.

I swear if my mom was rude to me just cuz I didn’t do the thing she asked I would literally snapped her popeyes’s nose off

As a person who born and live in asia, a lot of asian parents just care about their pride and external validation

I have a very strong feeling she never called once she got into college

How does this affect Lebron’s legacy?

This discipline is NOTHING compared to teenage pregnancy and everyone around them living the rest of their lives with the consequences of the boy and girls actions.
