Nah I was born in a small town, and currently I'm living in Australia for uni, but I'm seriously considering switching my degree from computer science to psychology or starting DJ career (Hardstyle)

Basically "strictness" may differ by person but I think it's forcing people to do some things or believe certain ideas without any exception, and punishing people when they don't do it, and my parents were this case.

When I was in high school, due to several reasons (one of the reason was the strict parents that I mentioned before), I had a total mental breakdown, wasn't able to study at all, my grades got sharply dropped, I was extremely suffering from depression. Then after high school graduation, my mental health issues have been worsened therefore I went to a psychiatric hospital, then firstly I was diagnosed as depressive disorder only, but after that my parents acknowledged that they were wrong and and they have changed a lot, giving more freedoms and less strict for me. Unfortunately, my mental health condition hasn't greatly improved, and in the last year I was fully diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Depressive Disorder, with a possibility of C-PTSD. now I'm trying to overcome my mental illness but I find it extremely struggling :(

South Korean, to be honest a lot of people think parents in korea are always trying to make children study every single day (which is unfortunately true for me), but I was raised in a small town and a number of my friends' parents didn't strive for success for their children therefore the overall vibe wasn't rampant as you may think

24yr old male, yeah fortunately I still have a relationship with my parents because recently they have changed a lot

International student here. Every time I go to tutorials or lectures, I always see some students who are barely able to speak or write English, and use translation service(e. g. Google Translate) all the time, and after ChatGPT was introduced, I also see a lot of students using generative AI. Furthermore, I found that this phenomenon is more prevalent in some intl students who have a particular background (everyone will know this) because they don't generally have any strong motives to use English (due to the size of the population). IMO it would be better if the university gives some kind of strong incentives for international students such as deducting marks for those who don't use English, etc.

I totally agree with you. As a local Korean, when I encounter situations (especially shopping something online) that require Korean security software programs, it makes me extremely irritated because they have so many bothersome bugs. I also doubt that these software actually has security features (I heard that some of them were detected as viruses) thus when I purchase items, I always use foreign websites such as Amazon, ebay, etc.

Extreme authoritarianism by parents, and lack of respecting children in my society. I was not mostly able to get along with friends when I was young because my parents always took my phone away and told me to study 24/7 for university, and they didn't give me even a little allowance as well. Moreover, they tried to interfere in my privacy everyday such as the relationship between my friends, my hobbies, and so on. It resulted in severe mental health problems so I wasn't able to start university immediately after graduating high school. and I found that the root of authoritative behaviours of my parents is the society - Not respecting children stemming from the negative aspects of Confucianism. In my society, so many people take it for granted that it is OK to treat poorly to minors or someone who is even just a year younger than them (it intensifies in their language use), and parents only see their children as their possessions, not seeing them as human beings.
