Are you white American, OP?

I am East Asian, and in our culture it is expected that our children will not rebel in any visible way.

I am confused by your surprise. Or is this is a weird humblebrag? Your message is not getting across.

Me again. But also, you equate "creative and artsy" and non-athletic with being quirky? Where do you place classical musicians, then? Performing arts in general? Is my teen daughter non-conforming because she rides on horseback, likes to play violin and paint watercolors? Athletes mean squeaky clean to you?

You don't seem to know what you're talking about, honestly. [/quote]

I don’t think “artsy” means what you think it does. 
When someone is talking about an “artsy” kid, they usually are not talking about a clean-cut classical musician. It is more likely to describe a kid with blue hair or scraggly look who isn’t into STEM or classical music. It has a very different meaning in 2026 than it did in the 90s or 00s.[/quote]
