    I am Hmong. It is very Relatable to Hmong Girls. They always say ‘Become a doctor’ or ‘wash the dish’. I have also almost lost My language. I can only Speak a little now, now I feel disappointed for getting.😢 My mom would always say ‘ I don’t want you to be dumb like me’ I get that but I’m not them. I’m myself.

    I can relate!! It's hard to find my identity between two cultures. It's hard to be Hmong American.

    Dear my young brothers and sisters, it is great to hear your true feelings and struggles.
    There are always two sides to a story. Please listen to the other side and dissect it well for a deeper understanding.
    Some responded "I am myself and not them". The future is in your hand as well as your response. Before taking any action and respond, you must understand that your folks only want the best for you. Jumping to conclusion without realizing their love for you will only hurt them in the process.
    Listen first, dissect the words for a deeper understanding, and then respond "Thank you mom/dad, I know you mean well for me and want me to do my best for my future. I will work hard and if I come short, love me as always okay. Love you."
    Love your family, love the elders, train your mind to understand, appreciate and respect everyone whether young or old.
    Wish you and your family the best!

      Your comment reminds me of my favorite holiday. My first Christmas was the best Christmas I’ve ever had. It was all thanks to a Christian church full of caring white people who didn’t care about my skin color or the language barrier.

    So proud to come across your RUclips channel and hear what you had said that you are a hmong girl, that’s is very powerful to let the world know that no matter where you are, you are a hmong girl. I love that. Our hmong girls are very brave. Never forget who you are and where you come from, because no matter where you at you always a hmong and that can’t change even you change your last name you still hmong. Love it.

    In fact, the Miao originated in China, over 5000 years ago, this nation slowly began to take shape.From which they migrated to Southeast Asian countries in the 16th to 19th centuries to form the Hmong . The Hmong, formed by the Miao who migrated to Vietnam, are divided into white, black, red ,flower and Han
    Mèo in Vietnam .There are Hmong in Thailand, Laos, Burma, all from China. The number of Miao in China accounts for more than 70 percent of the Hmong people in the world. These people are all Chinese in China .This is a beautiful nation!

    I feel bad when the allied forces pull out there troops because of americans in the middle of the war i hope we can give you enough freedom like we filipinos fight in south korea during korean war . We fight in vietnam war as our grandfathers do but america realized that both the south vietcong and the PLA in the north are enemy of the allies unlike in south korea the koreans allied them selves in america and the only reason of america in that war is optium that is the sad thing about that if the vietcong allied themselves in that war there is a chance that both laos and vietnam had a south country like the south koreans
