<p>Houston we have a problem. Please catch up and help on the asian psycho parents thread. There are a couple of kids, one who may have (has) a significant current problem. I know my part but I need help (I also know the limits of my knowledge and I’m rapidly getting past them ). (and I have to be somewhere . It’s my 50th.:eek: )</p>

<p>I know there is some heavy mental health artillery on here , I just can’t remember who. Other lawdogs got a perspective based on experience?</p>

2

<p>Um… it’s good to see you’re concerned about her…</p>

<p>I don’t want anyone analyzing me though, please. I’m not Asian or even American.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Happy Birthday! or is it anniversary. Either way, have a nice day! =]</p>

<p>I seriously have no idea what you are talking about curmudgeon.</p>

<p>Happy Birthday! or is it anniversary. Either way, have a nice day! =]</p>

<p>Yes. I was married at birth. At least it seems that way. ;)</p>

<p>and erin, I don’t care what the ethnicity or nationality. You could be Taliban and my points would be the same. That’s why I called in some help.</p>

<p>can someone please tell me what this thread is about/</p>

<p>Happy Birthday!</p>

<p>Talibanis aren’t an ethnicity or a nationality, they’re a religious terrorist group. ;] And my name isn’t Erin. eek. You misread “Enn.”</p>

<p>It really is different from country to country. It’s wrong everywhere, but what you can actually do about it differs greatly.</p>

7

<p>someone answer my question</p>

8

<p>Sorry. I don’t know anyone named enn. ;)</p>

9

<p>Enn as in “N.” It’s a letter, not a word. lol.</p>

10

<p>stuck, Read the OP on the asian parent’s psycho thread on the Parent’s Forum. It’s fairly self explanatory.</p>

11

<p>Its labelled “Traditional Asian Parents? Or Psychotic Parents?”</p>

12

<p>oh, those threads are related, didn’t know that. lol</p>

<p>enn, long ago I learned a definition of “nation” much like this one</p>

<p>Nations are culturally homogeneous groups of people, larger than a single tribe or community, which share a common language, institutions, religion, and historical experience.</p>

<p><a href=“http://geography.about.com/cs/politicalgeog/a/statenation.htm[/url]”>http://geography.about.com/cs/politicalgeog/a/statenation.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>People whose common identity creates a psychological bond and a political community. Their political identity usually comprises such characteristics as a common language, culture, ethnicity, and history. More than one nation may comprise a state, but the terms nation, state, and country are often used interchangeably. A nation-state is a state populated primarily by the people of one nationality. </p>

<p>I may very well have used nation too loosely but that’s really not the point I was concentrating on. . I knew that there was no such place as Talibanland and it was not a destination, nor ethnicity.</p>

<p>I was going to use a reference from Men In Black , A popular American film, but went with the other because I thought you might not get the reference. I was going to say that “I don’t care if Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith were at your door. Abuse is abuse.” (As in aliens, as in the not from this planet sense of the word.) I thought Taliban was easier. </p>

<p>lmao, I’m sorry, I know you were trying to make things simpler for me because I’m Kuwaiti and all, but that really made me giggle for a bit. I’ve seen MIB! I think most of the (developing) world has. =D</p>

<p>I get it, yes… lol</p>

15

<p>that did seem a little too simplified lol. but i doubt it was becasue you’re from Kuwait.
lol</p>

16

<p>What?</p>

<p>…</p>

17

<p>nothing, Enn. Forget it…</p>

<p>Happy 50th bday Cur. I hope you have a good one. I’m having mine in a couple of days. </p>

<p>I agree with you that this kid needs help. I doubt if the mom will hurt her, but who knows? Abuse is abuse. By the way, where is the dad in all of these? </p>

<p>I am Asian and I am aware of the stereo type of the Asian parents, but not that of being psychotic. I know that they push their kids too much sometimes but that is another story. I do not know anyone who has threatened their children whatsoever. Education is very important and there are expectations to be met.</p>

<p>Filam_mom, thanks for posting. I’m sure your perspective would be valuable on the main thread, too. I urge you to post there. I don’t know how many Asian parents have weighed in.</p>
