i am an asian american girl, i was raised in america. unfortunately i am second generation and my parents think that i'm a "whore" because i'm wearing tank tops and "pants that are too tight for my own good". for ******** sake, i do not think anything is wrong with expressing what i am feeling or thinking through my clothes. i am so sick of them telling me "stop talking to so many boys before they rape you" or "why can't you be more like you're sister?"

i can't ******** stand them expecting me to get good grades just because i'm a girl. another thing i hate is when they say "asians aren't as stupid as you are". they really pisses the ******** out of me.

it's so stupid when people say asians are smart, there are differences in people common! i get that from parents too with the clothing and all, it's not my fault all the pants are made to sit low, and my mom wants me to dress more girlie too, ew..

i found this website a really long time ago and your posts made me think of it. angry little girls i totally didn't remember that site untill just now.

and if a boy rapes you it's not your fault at all. women could walk around naked and they wouldn't get raped if men would practice restraint. up tight parents are a drag. and i can't belive that they actually said "asians aren't as stupid as you are" that's such bs. i bet you're really smart.

this kind of reminds me of a livejournal community that i looked at once. it was a riot grrrls community, and this girl posted a picture of herself in an shirt that (gasp!) showed cleavage. a bunch of people jumped all over her saying "how does that emphasize equality???? way to objectify yourself!" the hypocrisy was amusing. they say they want women and men to be equal, so why don't they attack men when they walk around with their shirts off?

they expect you to get good grades because you're a girl? i've never heard that one before. my parents expect my younger sister to get good grades simply because i've always gotten straight a's. i feel horrible for her sometimes, because they put her under so much pressure to be like me. she's not an academic, she's athletic, which is what i'm not. they're also trying to get her to conform to the skinny-girl stereotype. she's never allowed to get seconds at meals, whereas i can have as much as i want. it's grossly unfair.

I'm lucky I have an older brother, Though just the fact that hes older I was expected to have good grades like his(he got his forst C ever just this year, grade 11) but when I was in grade three I started slacking and now I'm only expected to at least pass the grade. And my dad expects me to wear nice cloths like most girls but I wear some of my brothers old jeans and take all his old shirts, wich are mostly band shirts or hoodies. But my mom suports most of my choices and lets me chose what I want to do with my body, even if it is dressing like a slut wich I refuse to do out of common morals. My mom accepts the fact that I'm not great at school and that its harder for me because I'm in french immersion, and lets me make my own mistakes, if they end up being mistakes like getting my eyebrow pierced or frequently dying my hair black. I have an awesome mom who verbaly expects nothing of me, I love it.

my parents are superconcerned for my future. this means no piercings beyond one hole in each ear (this apparently harms my job opportunities; my mother says that her dentistry business got much better business once she let her second hole close up), nothing permanent. i can't wear all-black or lots of eyeliner without having a screaming match with my parents. they let me make my own mistakes to a degree, but they're always there to monitor. if things get too out of hand, in their opinion, then they intervene. sometimes i get annoyed with the clothes restrictions, but for the most part, i'm fairly glad they do it. their high expectations of me have led to my high expectations of myself.

I agree. That makes me think of the song 'second rape' by aus rotten. Sex is one thing though that is always going to be there. But people need to teach boys and girls alike respect for one another at an early age. All the boys in my class are little pervs. Sex is going to be on most teenager's minds, but I think that when the child is arriving that time in their life, they should be properly educated. That's why I think my boys in my class think it's so normal to be so disgusting and rude, glorrifying rape. I'm going into gr9 this year. I had 2 sex ed classes in my life. One when I was in gr3, the other when I was in gr8. What else do kids have to turn to when they're confused? Why the tellie of course. And what's all over the tellie? Explicit videos and racy adverts of course. Where it's normal to disrespect a women, where the women generally don't say anything.

Anyhow sorry about that it was off-topic. I just felt like I was onto something ninja

And that site is wonderful

you cant let ure parents keep you down like that. in my opinion they are way to hard on you. its the same for my old friend Yoona. she is asian too and her parents are so mean to her. like if she got a b on her report card they would yell at her and things like that. just try to be strong and igg out those things they say to you.

I think me and my parents have an understanding that I will do crazy stupid s**t, but I'll make decent grades and won't get knocked up.
PostPosted: Fri Aug 05, 2005 9:44 pm


I never really make good grades anymore, for a while I did, when I was in elementary school! I'm a fricken junior in high school now and my parents say 'but you used to be smart' I'm still smart, just a bit of a slacker in a urban public school with the ethnic diversity of goths wardrobe.

I think parents just expect things from you, my mom tried to get me to dress girly for a while, she would buy me skirts and tight fitting shirts because the majority of my shirts are guys smalls. But they do know me enough to know that I'd never get intimate with a guy, what can I say, I'm trying to wait till I get married (or atleast out of high school). If your parents think your jeans are too tight, I'd like to find a store that sells jeans that arn't, I'd be really surprised to see one.

My mum is always worried about the way I live my life. I'll tell her what i'm gonna wear in the morning and sometimes she'll go 'oh no, you look like a tart in that.' It's just what i want to wear because it's comfy and i like it. who cares what other people think? domokun

that reminds me of my aunt and her skirt. she's 34 (?) years old and has a three-year-old daughter. she wanted this black peasant skirt, but she was afraid that the other preschool mommies would talk about how she dressed. i had to bully her into buying the skirt that she loved because she was freaking out about what other people would say.

i subscribe to the theory of wearing what you like, to hell with other people.

I don't know, my parents are always worried that something I do is going to mess up my life. They wouldn't let me get dreads, they just barely let me get wash out colouring in my hair (which is wierd, because they used to let me do whatever I want and dress however I wanted until I got into highschool), and even though I've been going to shows for a good year now, they assume I'm going to come home drunk and sexed up.

The lack of trust in me and my judgement is astounding sometimes.
