Sure you didn’t sound like you weren’t in your first message, though.
And it depends on how you look at it. On the surface may look strawberry. But to leap off a building takes a lot of guts too. And whichever other means to terminate yourself.
The newer gen doesn’t see the world boomers do. What is trivial to us or then, is of utmost importance to them and now. Peer pressure, academics, etc.
Back then, if one can’t provide for one’s family, one goes sayonara. Nowadays, if one can’t flaunt your A+ in TikTok IG, one does the same. Looks so trivial but when you see how socmed works, how others flaunt their rewards from parents, whatever for their academic success, you kinda understand how they view the world. And this is only 1 example.
Yes, i mean what i said as posted.
I understood the overall view is diff by person.
Jump off the building really need the brave, not like our local influencer making drama.
Even this kind of thing happen all the time, but never learn until it happen in own house is real.
I think china or taiwan have similar news, but that is primary school girl 14floor or go river suicide with younger brother to prevent him experiencing what she suffered.
It just repeating: over supervision > child suicide > parent regret > repeat over supervision but in another family.
Sure, there of course have asian fama with good mindset didnt do this but still have child with good exam and overall skill.
But most of the time they like to say to their kid: if you do not study good enough, you will be like him *point to random person whatever their job is/are*.
Myself as an example, i hold cert for repairing motorcycle for authorized store, but i transferred to admin.
One day i helping the service dept due to one of mechanic on leave, one chinese female maybe quite high kelas maybe m20 or t20, coming in with her daughter and scooter for service (yes, i am chinese and they too)
Outfrom nowhere, she say the example to her kid that i make above... Of course i cant argue with her due to the job.
Maybe we not high kelas as her, but these so called low level personal servicing your stupid scooter; maybe driving truck collecting your trash or foodwaste....
Mindset>all, otherwise history repeating itself. Sekian.
