<p>Yeah, my parents just tell me to get better grades. They don't know anything about college admissions at all. I'm Chinese btw.</p>
<p>You guys think you all have issues? Try having Nigerian parents. They are so nagging, they like to brag and gossip, compare you to other children(one time my mother compared me to some other Nigerian kid because he "told" his mother that he smoked pot. She said he was a good kid becasue he was "honest". We all knew he just got caught). And we can't rebel because there is always the fear of being knocked out(you don't grow out of it) because Nigerians believe in "spare the rod spoil the child". They like practically keep you locked in the house forever!</p>
<p>I could go on. But all I have to say is at least you don't have Nigerian parents.</p>
<p>Chinese parents do that too..none of that is new to me.</p>
<p>Track, you need to start a thread, "Gotta love Nigerian parents". :)</p>
<p>And then don't forget the lack of social skills they'd like you to have. They brought us to America, but we cant be "American". No friends. No going out. I guess all us kids of foreigners have to suffer this way.</p>
<p>TooRich I should right? R u Nigerian?</p>
<p>No, I was just kidding with you but my next door office person is, I think he is quite competitive too.</p>
