[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in mental health and see far too many young adults and teens who aren't functioning well because of academic stress and a culture that seems to favor striving and image management. If I told you how many of my clients are Asian I bet you'd be surprised. Something is wrong if so many young Asian students are having depression, panic attacks and suicidal thoughts because they don't earn an A average or get into an Ivy college, top medical school or T14 law school. Parents of these kids may think that level of pressure is needed for success. The truth is many kids will rise to the pressure and do well, but many will not.[/quote] You mean Asian parents are actually willing to seek help for their kids instead of sweeping it under the rug? Your generalization is unscientific.[/quote]
