    They've been brought up with strict honour codes - to believe honour is v. important and to believe that your elders and parents are like God (gave you life etc.etc.)
    They also believe education gives you a good life unlike alcohol etc. my parents are SE asian and no-no on
    alcohol under like 30/boyfriends/mixed schools/bikinis/slightly low or strapless tops/short skirts/shorts/too much make-up/parties of the non pass the parcel or with parents variety/sex before marriage (i think)/swearing etc.etc.
    yeah it can really suck :/
    i hate the whole honour/respect thing, i'm happy with however i dress and being the way i want to be and i don't care what they or their family might think. it's just sad because i know i won't have another chance to have a fun childhood.
    i know i don't have it as bad as some but i hate it bc i feel like i want to rebel and not succeed in life just to show them their parenting doesn't work but i won't because i want to succeed and make something out of myself for ME, not for them.
    but i know a lot of people with asian parents who are totally fine with the above and normal and lovely
    So not all asian parents are strict and uptight
    Just quite a few :/
