<p>^Did you read what was in the parentheses? I never said I get bad grades. Oh wait, I guess I do according to CC standards since they’re not all A+'s.</p>
<p>I meant CC standard for “bad” grades(low A’s and A-'s).</p>
<p>Yeah it seems like for CC you’re average if you have 95+ in everything, barely above average with 99+, and “decent” with a 108% unweighted average.</p>
<p>Me!</p>
<p>Because then I can have a tricked out fridge instead of one filled with Asian foods and ****</p>
<p>I hate the fact that some of my parent’s favorite food is the stuff I don’t like.</p>
<p>Turkey Burgers
Turkey Tacos
Brats</p>
<p>I love pizza, ravioli, and pasta, and my sister hates all 3. </p>
<p>I can’t wait to have pizza daily.</p>
<p>I’m ready to get the **** out.</p>
<p>Parents are ****ed when I get 95s on tests.
Would like to see straight 100s. </p>
<p>Yet they want me to go to George Mason University… I want to get the **** out of here.</p>
<p>They want you to go to a third tier university and they still expect you to get 100’s? That’s just ****ed.</p>
<p>
That’s what you think now.</p>
<p>Is that what everyone on this board thinks about parents? And having pizza daily? Is that such a great thing? I really don’t feel like we push our daughter; she seems to push herself. And I am perfectly happy with her grades and she does not get all 100’s…I don’t want her to end up unhappy and freaked out and like the kids I went to high school with her were pushed…and wound up weird unhappy people or nearly had nervous breakdowns when they did finally get away from their parents.</p>
<p>Its not all about the grades. Not at all. Im a senior and i cant go out on this saturday for fear of drinking because my parents went through my phone last year and saw that my friends drink. Also no girlfriend, no car, it even took me a while to convince them to let me have a job…</p>
<p>I heard when you’re about to go off to college your mom starts to turn into your best friend</p>
<p>i don’t believe it though -.-
i have the typical asian paretns.</p>
<p>stinks.</p>
<p>I’ll be homesick when I’m in college!</p>
<p>I will miss going shopping with my parents or going out (lol, yep, I go out with them and I don’t mind!). I’ll definitely miss having all my laundry washed and ironed, too. Also, the absolutely delicious home cooked meals. </p>
<p>Besides that, I’ll just miss having them around. They aren’t strict and it’s always nice to know they are there near me. I will be happier to be able to live my life the way I want to live, but they don’t interfere with that right now, anyways.</p>
<p>I know my mother and I don’t always agree with everything and all, but I do appreciate that she’s actually lived with me thus far (and taken care of me etc).
My father and I don’t see each other much (he works abroad), and we’ve always been on good terms however I sense that things are sometimes awkward between us.
I’ll be in a boarding house from the start of next year, so in my case it isn’t about leaving for college just yet.</p>
<p>
But think about it, why do they CARE about getting them into great colleges? Because they CARE about their children. Which is why (in most cases) they want their amazing/beautiful/special child to have a ‘good’ life (whether or not the best college is relevant is controversial). But I understand, it doesn’t feel like it all the time. Ha, I should know.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>I can’t stand living in my dreadfully depressing house.</p>
<p>Yeah, Asian parents don’t understand “American”/Westernized ways, but they really want the best…
too bad we don’t aways agree on whats the best hgahaha.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>I used the word “some”. </p>
<p>I know some kids in my school whose parents never even said “I love you”…all of them happened to be of South Asian descent.</p>
<p>me me me me me me me me me me!!!</p>
<p>my mom is kinda crazy…cleaning OCD/perfectionist :D</p>
<p>I’ve learned how to be independent since I was in the 3rd grade…so living away without parents isnt anything new…i doubt i’ll become homesick.</p>
<p>I think the problem with a lot of parent/children relationships is communication. As young adults it’s your responsibility to communicate to your parents when your not happy with them and explain why.Bottling your emotions inside and saying “it’ll get better in college” is a myth. If you don’t face your problems now in the future you will probably have similar relation problems in college</p>
<p>For example “I hate my roomate.” is pretty common in CC college life.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I also know my Mom will be nicer in college from experience as a younger brother…my sister gets a lot of slack because of the distance between my mom and the college. She’s like “Oh, it’ll be better” on the phone if she does poorly. For me, it’s yelling/no “screens”.</p>
