Being parents, it's natural that we want the best for our children, want them to be successful on life and nor lagging too far behind others. As such, parents tend to send their young children to all kinds of enrichment classes, life skill classes as well as lots and lots of tuition. All in the name of "succesful".
The intentions are there and it's not wrong but the methods used are just so unfair to those children whom can't say no to parents. When one is being forced to do something they dislike, how will they ever improve right? To the children, those are additional stress on top of the school work, making them losing their childhood as a result.
This cycle has been repeated for so many times, and yet nobody is seeing the effects of it. How I wish parents will learn and understand the REAL needs of children..

YEah, it's very common to see that nowadays, especially when the world is so competitive.. NOthing matters more than a degree in this day and time, and yet parents wants their children to excel in all aspects, so the children suffers..
It's just not fair, and when the children do badly in the studies due to those extra activities, parents will blame the children for being lazy, or even worse, push them for more tuition!!

Actually, these feelings also happened to me, my parents really want, which is best for me, they are very conventional and very conservative. My college school dropout, because of some problems, but now I have the motivation for myself, the motivation to finish college for the future. I insist on my parents, that, THIS IS, what I wanted.
