<p>My heart goes out to you, flamingoduckie. Teenagers these days have a lot to contend with. They should not be burdened with parents like your mom. I am just curious, where is your dad in all of these? I understand that he is very supportive, but how can he just let your mom do this to you?</p>
<p>I am Asian and I know of your “traditional Asian parent” but being abusive is not a part of it. I know that sometimes they can be overbearing, but education is very important and there are expectations to be met. I do not know of anyone who will knowingly hurt their children though. On the contrary I think they spoil their children too much.</p>
