There is a high rate for American kids & adults need to see psychologists for anxieties or suicide attempt or depression, and I wonder if it is because they couldn’t handle stress, weakness or criticism because of culture values. In Asia, I rarely hear or know of any kids or adults need to see psychologists for these reasons. It has been a part of being an Asian life to handle all the stress & expectations from families, school & work. The other day, my kid whines for doing a sheet of homework. I tell him that as a student, I needed to go see tutor every Saturday, I had quiz, homework & tests almost every day, and I need to stay at library to study till 10pm on almost weekdays after school.....it is not an uncommon lifestyle for being an Asian kids in an Asian country. I never complained because it became part of my life and many kids did the same things as I did.

A thing cut from the same cloth is the American insistence on getting therapy for as much as a hangnail.  It's like people lost any ability to reflect on their life and find commonsense solutions. Like therapy is a magic button![/quote]
