It's times like these that I'm glad my parents could car less what my grades were - and so could I. As long as I get that damned diploma, that's all that matters :p

Ever stop to think that maybe Asians are the most successful minority in America BECAUSE Asian parents are this way???

Ever stop to think that maybe Asian students have suicide rates off the Richter scale BECAUSE Asian parents are this way???

Try using this wonderful thing called Google once in a while.

And actually, South India just recaptured the crown for that, IIRC. :p

A C in history is pretty much inexcusable. It's way too easy.


Had it been a C in something like Organic Chemistry, Advanced Physics or Calc 2 then that would be ok.
You weren't in the class :)

I don't know how your parents will live with the shame and dishonour you've brought into their house by getting a C. They must commit sepuku now, all thanks to you!

I still don't see how anyone can get a C in history..What kind was it?

I was wondering the suicide rate for Asians in the US vs other races.

If we're talking countries, I thought it was Norway followed by Japan.

I remember seeing a documentary on it a few years ago - talking about the academic pressures that Asians usually experience from their parents, and how a lot of Asians commit suicide because they cannot live up to their parents expectations - plus, they are more likely not to seek help in times of need because doing to can hurt their pride, seeking help is looked down upon in many asian cultures, etc.

?Not only did we find that Asians underutilized services,? Dr. Sue said. ?We also found that the Asian students exhibited more severe mental disturbances than the non-Asian students.?

can anyone else see the logical fallacy with that?? IF indeed asians underutilitize services, how do you know that they exhibit more severe mental disturbances? how can you just factor out the fact that asians students underutilize services? is it possible that the underutilization of services has some impact on the severity of the disturbances??

:roll:

I see nothing that states the suicide rate of Asian students in the US is dramatically higher than any other race. But it is painfully obvious they are far more successful than any other minority.

My opinion hasn't changed.

I smell jealousy.
I smell a whiny little boy yearning to become a man but still under his parents shadow. Oh wait, no I am jealous because he got a 3.5. You got me...
