    Asian parents: Force their kids to learn piano, violin, flute
    Their kids: I wanna be a musician!
    Asian parents: Hold up, wait a minute, that was never part of the plan.

      @@YvonneEche I don't think they were saying Korean (or Nigerian) parents don't love their kids. It's just from a cultural perspective, if a White-American middle-class parent is physically abusive to their kids that parent is going to be a very bad person. Normal White-American middle-class parents don't beat up their kids. In your culture that's not the case, so even normal and loving parents can beat up their kids.

      They're usually not thinking of the morality of it at all, they only think of the recognition, prestige and wealth it brings. I often see this in movies and dramas the parents thanking their child for being a doctor/lawyer ect because now no one looks down on them anymore, now that they have successfull kids they can walk with their head up and brag about them when in reality they should be thinking of their happiness and fulfilment in life (granted, financial security should always be encouraged)

    Academics, tutoring classes and 1 on 1.

    Age, yes that happens if you have a baby face. I experience this often.
    Dreams, my parents doesn't make me and siblings to live their dreams. They help and support ours.

    I also related to the artist meme. For Black Caribbean (and I think Africans too) especially if you're first generation born and raised diaspora kid, you'd tell your immigrant parents that you want to be an artist. They will tell you that you should either be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer. They didn’t immigrate for you to have beeter opportunities and choose to become an artist. My mom was okay with professor, nurse and researcher as well and she said she was being kind.

    Lol I guess growing up in the southern US gives similar experiences. We weren't big on private education but they cared a lot about sports. I played almost any they could put me in and my mom was my coach most of my childhood and she was coach at home as well. We did plenty of physical punishment, my dad crafted a leather belt just for whipping but his church belt was fancy with little metal designs as a good country belt has...so we avoided trouble when he had that on. Fetching our own switch to be whipped with wasn't too uncommon, and we worked all the time on the farm. My whole summer was working on the farm growing up, and I think around 16 I had one friend I was allowed to stay the night at but they wouldn't let me stay anywhere they hadn't met the parents and they would not meet parents 😂. I didn't have a curfew because that would imply I could leave home and go anywhere. Town was a 25min drive away. My closest friend was a 6mile walk to and from. My other friend was 6 miles the other direction but his parents didn't allow guest. They didn't like my house much because my parents would put them to work helping me. They were great parents but just did the best they could to give freedom while avoiding trouble my older siblings caused. So no curfew because I wasn't going anywhere. I think I managed to get permission to see a movie with a friend 3 times in my life and I had to do 4 hours of cleaning or farm work to earn the privilege. There were many other times but after I did the work they decided it was a family outing and I had to just watch what my mom's and little brother wanted. There were many ups and downs. This is the lighter stuff, but in the end I think they are good people since my brothers and I were all adopted and my older brother was so traumatized by our past that he acted like he was the spawn of Satan. Well Chucky is another good comparison. I had many unique experiences working and showing the horses though.

    Yeah, in the West, people are usually good with computers. My mom was the one who made my email accounts (Facebook too, although she deleted that one when I was 17 cuz all I'd do is spend time on FB memes all day long). When I was 9 years old, my mom made me a hotmail and a gmail (which I still have to this day). When gmail was just released, she made some accounts for herself, my sister, and myself, before our names could be taken by other people, although she was just a tad bit late on the hotmail one, so she had to add my surname initial to the email (to this day, I have some random dude with the same first name (same spelling and everything) in my email list on my hotmail, and I've sent that guy quite a few emails over the past years by mistake, what I was trying to do was send myself emails).

    There are artists in Indonesia who started their singing career after they graduated from uni. One is from Architecture and one is from Dentist. Both are quite famous.

    Okay so I don't know if it is a thing in my country in general but for me and people around me in school, we had to choose an instrument to learn in second or third grade of elementary school and that's for every kid. So there was no chance of getting out of learning how to play at least the basics of an Instrument. Although one really annoying thing was that you could pick your top three instruments you wanted to learn and based on that you were randomly assigned, which caused a lot of kids to stop playing pretty soon. On the other hand we also had music classes in school so we learn basics like different keys and sounds on a piano, reading sheet music, etc. and that's from first grade till at least tenth grade.

For most people here we only give money to people we don't know the interests or wishes of. (I am not trying to bring anyone down here, it is just an interesting cultural difference in my opinion)

    The rigid conformity in Korean society must be stifling, there’s no room for individualism at all. It’s frowned upon to step outside of the box, it’s sad. No wonder they have such a high suicide rate. So many rules and restrictions from the time you’re born into old age.
    What I find really archaic is the rules about being subservient to anyone older than yourself, even having to call them by a special name regardless that they may only be a week older, it’s bizarre. That even during college you still have to do what they just because they’re more senior, it’s so wrong.
    In western society people are equal, respect is earned regardless of age and based on ability rather than seniority.

    In Poland we also don't wear shoes in the house. And I also attended a music school (apart from regular primary school, so in the afternoons), learning to play the piano, as well as foreign languages courses.

      The difference between Asian and European parents is that Asians would get mad at their kids for wanting to be musicians.

      @spartanbeast3575 I think that it depends. After all, there are for instance contestants coming from Asian countries who take part each time in the International Chopin Piano Competition, that is held in Warsaw (Poland) every five years since 1955 (it was initiated in 1927). And now, when kpop industry is so developed in South Korea, children are probably not so rare take part even since their childhood to train singing and music, in order they could have such career in future.
