I& #39;m seeing some drama regarding grades. Non-Asians, just read alright?
As Asians, we need to maintain high grades or our families will disown us! If we get low grades, they will guilt trip us by saying that they won& #39;t continue our studies.

We also need to get high grades because apparently, we need to get bachelor of science degrees, even if we don& #39;t want to. People just don& #39;t believe in multiple intelligences and it& #39;s sad.
This is why Non-Asians shouldn& #39;t joke or compare their experiences to us. It& #39;s more than just the grades, it& #39;s about the family& #39;s expectations. We fail to meet them and it will feel like the entire world will end.
Our mental health is also heavily affected by this. I know students who are on the verge of giving up (including myself). We just want to be appreciated and to be accepted with our passions but then, society happened.
