It's terrible to put pressure on children to do good. We've all been there, trying to please your parents and everyone else. It is only a bonus if the things they are pressuring you to do are also your passion.
I suppose the pressure they are putting on you stems from their dreams that they were unable to fulfill when they were your age. They want you to become good at the things they are not good at.
Yes, I believe they had wanted to live vicariously through me, absent their own ability to achieve the same when they were younger.
On the other hand, I think parents are people too. And they were also fairly young at the time. I think they also think differently about things now.
Yes, I agree. Well, some still put pressure on their kids in today's generations as I've known some of my friends experience this as well but somehow the tradition and the culture has an effect on it.
But it is what it is, we have to either follow, tried our best, or disobey if we think it's too much. We just have to be reasonable enough to explain why we can't deal with the pressure or we can at least try. 😊
