My parents got...nicer

Same here…my parents are still stricter than most (when I go out to a party or with friends, I have to ‘space’ everything out and not have back-to-back social events so I won’t have ‘too much fun’ and get distracted from school or whatever), but generally they leave me alone now. They used to come into my room while I was on the computer and freak out if they saw me typing (“Who are you talking to??”) and they bug me less about grades now that I’m in AP classes…my aunt’s the exact opposite, though; she’s putting more and more pressure on my cousin (a year younger than me) on tests (particularly the SAT) and school. (We’re Asian, if that makes a difference.)
