Asian families disown there children when they don't take responsibility for them.
Western families blame everything but themselves when they don't take responsibility.
2 cultures both have bad parenting. (I know I've been a little stereotypical, just trying to get a point across. Bad parents will find a way to be bad parents in every culture.)

Yes, but it seems reasonable to me to suppose that the actual inhabitants of China and Japan raise their children in roughly the same way that Chinese and Japanese immigrants to America raise their children. So if their upbringing was the central factor that contributed to their suicide rate it would be reflected in the statistics for China and Japan, but they aren't. And the nations with the top-ten highest suicide rates are mostly inhabited by individuals of European decent.Dags90 said:
Before the 21st century slavery was considered abhorent. In the 21st century, slavery is considered good parenting. Unbelievable.
Reading that article left me feeling a bit appalled.
One side of the spectrum there is sloppy and lazy parenting where parents don't give a shit about what their kids do, and on the other there is super-strict control freak parenting where children are treated like slaves who are forced to dance to their masters tune. The best parenting is the median between these extremes.
But furthermore, those Chinese kids are going to go to college, with their straight A's, to mix with Western students who were also bright enough to get into that same college as them, but actually had a happy childhood anyway. Consequently, i would expect them to be better rounded persons, whom have gone to college to study a subject they chose for themselves rather than what their parents chose for them, and gone through their teenage years attending parties, making friends and girlfriends and riding the highs and lows of life. My impression from the article is that these Chinese kids are sheltered from all these experiences and would struggle to live in an environment with these more socially experienced people.
