How is he going to improve his studies if his schedule is jam packed. Going to bed at 1 am is not ideal for a young kid who has to go to school the next day.
These parents are so hypocritical... "I dont put pressure on my kids' but the whole video literally shows a helpless kid who has a jam packed schedule with parents reprimanding him for 'bad' grades.
80 is low wtf I'm damn happy with a pass all jokes aside this boy has more drive than I will ever have. I do hope is parents pay more attention to him.
Lmao Zedong maybe in primary school ppl aim for high grades like that then in secondary school the expectation drop. In pri sch I got a classmate who cried for getting 99 for his math exam loll
dad: When you score 100, actually you learn nothing. But if you score 50, there's a lot to learn dad previously: THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE dude what do you want
Next thing you know, he's going to build an amusement park in his backyard and have sleepovers with kids, meanwhile the whole world is going to have this misunderstanding about him being a "weirdo" or a "pedophile" because he does such elementary things during his adulthood. Smh RIP MJ
@@contentdeleted4987 how can he properly study when he's doing modelling work until 1 am? Sleeping late already messes up this kid circadian rhythm. Bad sleeping habit=Your brain will fog, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions.
I don't get it, you expected the dad to say 'failures ate good boy, come fail more fail more' wtf. And if you think that's angry you must have really nice parents, he's just encouraging him
What typical Asian parents say oh I'm not putting pressure on my kids, in actual fact: you are the one causing pressure Or even indireact pressure point proven from 1:36-2:00
But the kid said that "I thought the test was yesterday, etc" which perhaps indicated that indeed this is due to his miscalculation or unprepared state, and the father just wanted to tell him that "you should be more prepared, next time". It might be a pressure, but is it bad?
To be honest i feel like even though his dad and mom says oh is just him being high achieving and putting the pressure on himself. But i feel lk at 1:36 when the kid have to reach out for his father cautiously and that the father tone "what again?" kinda make me feel sad for him. Maybe why he always dont feel like he is good enough, cause he is not receiving the acknowledgement from his mom and dad. That's why he's questioning himself and never felt that he's good enough.
My dad used to get a tad bit upset when I got a B. He never yelled or anything but I knew he was disappointed and that alone scared me so much that I learned how to forge his signature at a really young age.
ikr he is stuck in this mental state of mind imagine if he goes out to the workplace damn his mind would be messed up he wouldnt know whats right or wrong
@shubh saxena he's literally nine years old, I don't think he should just leave school at that she as he has a lot more stuff to learn and soon instead of paperwork being filled by parents, he will be the adult soon
2000 dollars a month on lessons and 50 marks. To a certain extent, I understand, but the child isn't engaged in his studies and maybe it has something to do with his tight schedule.
Because it really was unacceptable, his father knows that he can score better and he only scored 50 because he didn’t prepare. But is it the parents’ fault too, he’s so young and they, as his parents, should be helping him manage his time better and not just supporting him.
You look at this, of course 50 isn't that good. And here his parents are supplying him with things he wants, so I'm sure they have a hidden mindset to "you wanted this, work hard for it"
The parents should be more worried about his health then about his grades and acting. It is good that he likes acting and all that but he still needs time for a rest. He should have a proper schedule.
I won't call this childhood. I'd rather have my kid flunk than have him depressed at this age. The parents say they are cool, no pressure but it's obvious they are crushing the kid.
@@auser7087 he did but I have seen kids saying they love things which they don't only to make the parent(s) happy. I dont mean that is what's happening here. But a lot of kids be like "i want to become this and that" only for the parents' sake.
This kid is motivated,, i really hope his parents don't weigh him down so much with their expectations for him. All the best kid, grades aren't everything- he has a bright future ahead of him!!
yes. grades aren't all. The expectations is for Keane to not disappoint himself. I experience the same. I get easily disappointed cause I didn't reach my own goal that i set for myself. btw, Im his sister :)
Dawn Yap oh wow lol. A lot of the comments are saying that the parents are putting too much pressure on him and stuff, and he says he’s works till 1 am, was he exaggerating on that lol?
Good enough = Putting your 100% effort, even though you may not emerge as the best among your peers. I think the kid needs more encouragement so he doesn't feel so stressed up. While grades are important, they are not everything. Childhood is short, let the children have a good one and avoid putting so much pressure on them. It's sad to know that children nowadays have very hectic schedules. Before they know it, their childhood would be over :(
I feel sorry for this kid. I think it is the parents' ideals to be in the limelight - 'living the dream' through the kid. Making their ideals become his ideals - if that makes any sense? Hence, the feeling of inadequacy is there. And you can't have it both ways - you can't expect the kid to do well, yet have him do filming till 1am in the morning - ON TOP of having a packed schedule of tuition, enrichment classes, creative lessons, etc. So really, where is the time to study? And some kids take more time with education (trust me, I can empathise with such kids). My take is, even as an adult, if you have to go thru this regime on a daily basis, even YOU will break down at some point. So what more a child, who is still in developmental stages in terms of physical, emotional and mental... Sorry lah, I don't agree with all these. End of the day, you want a happy child and WE adults, especially parents, need to learn to accept a happy child as he/she is. Not as what we had envisioned would make a child happy - that's an unrealistic expectation and unnecessary burden of responsibility on a child.
Yeah yeah you aren't putting pressure on your kid. But why you're spouting this: 1:53 "No, this is not acceptable Keane." Says the father 🙃 2:01 And on top of that, how could you, parents, let this kid works until 1 am? 💀🔫
I mean, 2000 dollars on lessons and 50 marks in return. He has a tight schedule, yes, but keep in mind that he asked for tuition. This basically means the he contributed to the tight schedule. He said that he got 80 at 2:15 I'm just saying, if he gets a 50 afterwards, that means that his grades slipped. Maybe that's why the father is angry. He's used to his child doing well.
I have been to a couple filmshoots before. Unfortunately, they have no choice but to only film at late hours so that noise and light pollution would be minimum. If Keana really does want to pursue the media industry he is going to have to get used to working up till 5am. That's just how it is.
@A Google User omg that literally happened to a kid in my tuition, he told the teacher “I got 99 on my exam and my mom was super angry lo.” I once failed a math test and my mom got pissed at everybody :p that’s Asian parents for you
Poor boy... He feels left out in the class that mostly are smart and only him... Ahhh! I want to hug him and play together with him. He needs his childhood 😢
Poor boy is doing his best and isn't being lazy. Even asking for extra lesson every Saturday, studying on his own accord. The parents have to reduce his schedule for his grades to be optimal. It's so unrealistic wanting him to succeed in school when he doesn't even have time to rest let alone to study
The parents seem to be the ones giving him the stress. How do they expect the kid to juggle so many commitments? Training the kid to be somebody. Just let him enjoy his childhood.
Instead of telling him it’s ok to fail, just say as Long as you try your best, any score is ok. I understand the parents wants to support him in everyway, but help him manage his time and include relaxation time too. He’s maturing way too fast for his age
? "To nuture his ambition, his mum spends at least $2,000 a month on lessons." So, in this video, the child said that he wants to be a celebrity at 0:29. His parents agreed to this and funded his lessons. So to a certain extent, he wanted this. This has led to him not doing as well as he planned due to the stress he experienced through filming. Keep in mind, he wanted to be a celebrity, so he needs to learn through lessons in order to be a celebrity. So, due to this catastrophe, he said that he asked for tuition. He said this, at 2:18. You're right, they don't know how to be a parent. They shouldn't have put him through that, but keep in mind, to a certain extent, he wanted this.
you don't even have to learn mitochondria, factoring trinomials, mastering long divisions, reciting the periodic table, etc. to pursue an acting career
What people don't understand is that in countries where poverty is so prevalent such as Singapore, sometimes this is the only way to ensure that your child can make a living for themselves. They can't afford to 'take a break.'
Get him out of school, do you think bubbling a test is going to make him be a celebrity? like bruh, the school system has not changed in more than a century, there basically force-feeding kids with useless facts, and then they throw it up in the test.
Unfortunately, even if you are a famous celebrity, in a country like Singapore, the masses will still judge you by your academic achievements. The education system differs across countries, and just because the education system is bad in one doesn't mean that it's bad in others. At his age (primary school) is where he learns the basics, such as sentence structures and grammar (English), life cycles (biology) and simple algaebric manipulation (math). Saying that he should be taken out of school at that age is akin to allowing him to have less general knowledge than all of his peers who would have gone through at least the primary education system, leaving him at an obvious disadvantage already. By the way, the primary education system happens to be mandatory in that country. So if he's pulled out without special admission from the government, his parents are liable for a penalty for breaking the law. Before making a sweeping statement and criticising all schools for being "useless", just remember that not everyone has experienced the same as what you've experienced, and that people in different countries have different opinions on education. And if, by any chance, you're from the same country as the kid, then all I can say is that you and him have very different ideas of success. Even with all that pressure, he still opts for voluntary tuition instead of sitting back and just complaining about how bad the education system is. IMO, he should be supported but not overly pressured, which would depend heavily on his parents' (especially his father's) attitude towards him in encouraging him to work towards his dream, while not being overbearing. Only this way can he both pursue his dream and stay relatively stress free. Feel free to rebuke my statement with your own constructive criticism
If u get out of school, there will still be exams. If u fail, they will get u back to school and btw he wanted this. He choice this. Every child should have to study. It is important. I used to think studying was useless but soon enough, i figured out that it was actualy helpful.
Let the kid just be kid!!! Knowledge doesn't come with the grades and before enroll the kid in extracurricular classes ask them what kind of subject they want to learn; maybe the parent want piano and the kid prefer guitar.
bcus most ASIAN country is a poor country so all the parents telling their children that knowledge is very important..that's why every children was pressured and they feel its not enough at the end you want to please your parents too....I've been there done that..😪😥
@@yvricz1410 Not true. First of all there is a lot of poor place in Asian countries which you don't visit. When you go to China, you visit Beijing Shanghai and all the nice nice cities but never visit the horribly poor area. Same goes for Philippines Indonesia and Thailand.
I, having a mentally ill mother passing away from cancer and an absent father. I see the father is a little tough and a mom who pushes everything to have him well guided. Is something I wish I had.
This kid should have the child hood he deserves for all the hard work he is doing. His parents should be proud of him and helping him if he struggles, not telling him his effort isn't good enough. Because the worse feeling in the world for any child is knowing your parents aren't proud of you or are supporting you
one of my friend told me that when he got a score less than 90/100, he gets beaten up. he said one night he heard his brother getting beaten up before going to bed.
Kids are supposed to have fun. It's every kid's right to have fun, to play, and just simply enjoy their childhood. I feel bad for that kid going through hardships at such a young age.
How is he supposed to do well in school when he has such busy day ?!?! Tuition,Dance,sing and acting classes no wonder the child is unable to do his homework his schedule is full he doesn't have any time to do his homework or relax.
He is more hardworking than me at that age, seriously, he really has a lot to do, at such a young age. The teaches should also be more understanding of his situation, give more guidance.
idk why the parents want to pressure him into being academically gifted, bright, or something i mean its obvious his gifted and mastered at other areas and its already enough i mean he’s already talented 😅
Just want to give this little boy a hug and tell him he did great and he is amazing for keeping up with everything If i was in his shoes i would have thrown tantrums They are lucky to have a kid like him And hope he doesnt miss out his childhood
To: everyone who wrote negative comment 1. Try being a parents think before you comment being a famous is that kid dream and I must say, I have to give LOT OF respect to his parents to support his dream while probably their surrounding think it was a bad thing to do. There is no such a thing as perfect parents. While saying that, School also important. The score doesnt have to be perfect but at least he WANTS to learn by himself. the parents dont pressure him to get good score.
In the US, you can quit school to become a full-time actor, that’s okay there. But in Singapore, they have a compulsory education law where you need to attend school until Sec 3. I’m not sure why Singapore is so strict.
Poor child. It’s great for him to have a dream in singing, dancing, and acting, but staying up till 1am and being pressured my his parents to do good in school is not healthy,
To be honest I think it's so much to do in his schedule that is affecting the result in school, he has no opportunity to let his mind breathe. Having that breathing time is very helpful, and helps the development in knowledge.
Why is everybody mad at the parents? His parents aren't forcing him. They wouldn't mind if he dropped out. If they didn't care about him they would've never let him go to tuition. She even asked if he was discouraged and comforted him.
Why that’s what happen when you make the child that is an actor even more stress , this child going through a lot right now and his parents are using him like a toy juts to make money out of him and then he’s gonna end up have ruff life and then end up becoming depressed and that happens to kids like him , god may protect him
people commenting about "this is unacceptable", i think he's talking more about the fact that he forgot there even was a test. Not surprised though, kid is way too busy and needs some time to cool down, destress, be a kid
After watching this video i just feel sorry for the boy , mainly because his parents is giving him to much pressure and schedule .. On a side note grades does not define who you are because its just a piece of paper in the end and its unless once you start working
I honestly think ya'll should give him a break. Thats WAYYY to much pressure for a 9 year old. Dont expect him to do everything flawlessly if he's stressed and doesnt have time for himself (which is important) im not saying that school and filming isnt important, but that he needs time for himself and have peace
@@chloeli3148 yes i know. But he's stressed out. There's a difference between doing his hobby and getting stressed out, even if its in the same term. I cant assume, but from his expressions he just needs a lil break from his job and school to take time and relax. *maybe* it can make him feel better. (Bonus story because its based on my experience) im actually an artist and although i love drawing, there are some times where i just need to take a break and relax a bit. Because i have a "burn out" which means overworking myself till the point where i cant do things properly.
@@chloeli3148 i dont know about you, but in this interview/video he said it was more of a hobby. But the parents are taking it a little too far for me at least. Also just because he's making money doesn't mean it isn't his hobby. But from your statement it feels like his parents are taking his hobby/something that makes him happy into more of a task, which is earning money. I personally think he's a bit too young to actually earn money..
“This is some kind of self-inflicting pressure- but it never came from us” the amount of pressure he receives... his schedule is packed and he barely has time... as parents, clearly you guys are causing a lot of the problem from setting up so much. I get that he has a dream, and he’s accomplishing it well, but the truth is, you can’t achieve much if you have too much on your hands. Focusing on one task, then on another, then another... it’s too much for the brain to handle, especially for a young kid. He will go far, I just know it, but I feel the parents are taking no responsibility...

80 isnt low, is actually kinda high for a kid who has such a busy life. his parents are just really stupid to think he can do everything. he's human
This is hell for humanity. Let's all go swim at the beach and hike some mountains and stranded at forest.
Poor boy is doing his best and isn't being lazy. Even asking for extra lesson every Saturday, studying on his own accord. The parents have to reduce his schedule for his grades to be optimal. It's so unrealistic wanting him to succeed in school when he doesn't even have time to rest let alone to study
Zya Ravie he even admits he studies in between all the schedules
I really like what the dad said
If you score 100 there’s nothing to learn, If you score 50 there’s a lot to learn
The parents seem to be the ones giving him the stress. How do they expect the kid to juggle so many commitments? Training the kid to be somebody. Just let him enjoy his childhood.
Poor keane
What a world we are living in..
Plot twist: the kid was acting everything
ok
Instead of telling him it’s ok to fail, just say as Long as you try your best, any score is ok. I understand the parents wants to support him in everyway, but help him manage his time and include relaxation time too. He’s maturing way too fast for his age
Wah these parents don’t know how to be a parent. Jesus u don’t overwork a child like that. I’m 16 and I’m Glad I don’t have to experience this
? "To nuture his ambition, his mum spends at least $2,000 a month on lessons." So, in this video, the child said that he wants to be a celebrity at 0:29. His parents agreed to this and funded his lessons. So to a certain extent, he wanted this. This has led to him not doing as well as he planned due to the stress he experienced through filming. Keep in mind, he wanted to be a celebrity, so he needs to learn through lessons in order to be a celebrity. So, due to this catastrophe, he said that he asked for tuition. He said this, at 2:18. You're right, they don't know how to be a parent. They shouldn't have put him through that, but keep in mind, to a certain extent, he wanted this.
@@Enthusiast230 well you're not wrong.. he did indeed ask to be a celebrity
i know that the parents agree but atleast shouldn't the parents tell the consequences and doing all this at the same time might not a good idea?
@@Luxstar13 it's not in the video as this is literally years ago when he first told them he wanted to be an child star
@@Jerbt I mean't doing full time acting job while doing school.
Mom: He is not doing work seriously, he needs to work harder
Also mom: *Stays on social media all day*
HECK HE IS TRYING HIS BEST AND HAVING HIS BEST BUT WHY IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH FOR YALL???
Maybe it's not what is required to reach his position
you don't even have to learn mitochondria, factoring trinomials, mastering long divisions, reciting the periodic table, etc. to pursue an acting career
What people don't understand is that in countries where poverty is so prevalent such as Singapore, sometimes this is the only way to ensure that your child can make a living for themselves. They can't afford to 'take a break.'
Get him out of school, do you think bubbling a test is going to make him be a celebrity? like bruh, the school system has not changed in more than a century, there basically force-feeding kids with useless facts, and then they throw it up in the test.
Unfortunately, even if you are a famous celebrity, in a country like Singapore, the masses will still judge you by your academic achievements. The education system differs across countries, and just because the education system is bad in one doesn't mean that it's bad in others. At his age (primary school) is where he learns the basics, such as sentence structures and grammar (English), life cycles (biology) and simple algaebric manipulation (math). Saying that he should be taken out of school at that age is akin to allowing him to have less general knowledge than all of his peers who would have gone through at least the primary education system, leaving him at an obvious disadvantage already. By the way, the primary education system happens to be mandatory in that country. So if he's pulled out without special admission from the government, his parents are liable for a penalty for breaking the law.
Before making a sweeping statement and criticising all schools for being "useless", just remember that not everyone has experienced the same as what you've experienced, and that people in different countries have different opinions on education. And if, by any chance, you're from the same country as the kid, then all I can say is that you and him have very different ideas of success. Even with all that pressure, he still opts for voluntary tuition instead of sitting back and just complaining about how bad the education system is.
IMO, he should be supported but not overly pressured, which would depend heavily on his parents' (especially his father's) attitude towards him in encouraging him to work towards his dream, while not being overbearing. Only this way can he both pursue his dream and stay relatively stress free.
Feel free to rebuke my statement with your own constructive criticism
@@contorgonflame452 man wrote an essay i can't
If u get out of school, there will still be exams. If u fail, they will get u back to school and btw he wanted this. He choice this. Every child should have to study. It is important. I used to think studying was useless but soon enough, i figured out that it was actualy helpful.
@@genshin_epic8038 Important for exams
Someone tell the parents that mental health is something that actually exist!!!!! It's as important as your physical health!!!!!
I actually sensed that fear when he showed his parents his test 💀💀
Let the kid just be kid!!!
Knowledge doesn't come with the grades and before enroll the kid in extracurricular classes ask them what kind of subject they want to learn; maybe the parent want piano and the kid prefer guitar.
did ask. my bro and I told our parents that we wanted to learn all that
bcus most ASIAN country is a poor country so all the parents telling their children that knowledge is very important..that's why every children was pressured and they feel its not enough at the end you want to please your parents too....I've been there done that..😪😥
HAHAH WTF
BlackpinkInYourArea Singapore may be rich looking, but the people there don’t make very much.
StanKpopKids i agree, long work hours and stress is very commonplace here and the salary isnt even much at all.
not true tho, most of the asian country are well developed and prob richer than most western country
@@yvricz1410 Not true. First of all there is a lot of poor place in Asian countries which you don't visit. When you go to China, you visit Beijing Shanghai and all the nice nice cities but never visit the horribly poor area. Same goes for Philippines Indonesia and Thailand.
I, having a mentally ill mother passing away from cancer and an absent father. I see the father is a little tough and a mom who pushes everything to have him well guided. Is something I wish I had.
" when you score a 100 you learn nothing, but when you score 50 you have a lot to learn"...Wisdom !!!!
Not really. 100 means you already learned. 50 yes you have a lot to learn because you didn't.
It is a great saying but you can legit see the dad getting angry...
At least he has such a nice parents, I'm actually kinda jealous of his opportunity to get proper lessons of what he loves
Poor kid his dad doesn't seem to love him what so ever he only has expectations
This kid should have the child hood he deserves for all the hard work he is doing. His parents should be proud of him and helping him if he struggles, not telling him his effort isn't good enough. Because the worse feeling in the world for any child is knowing your parents aren't proud of you or are supporting you
He's young and He stressed alot it can cause death for him
Plz don’t mention death
one of my friend told me that when he got a score less than 90/100, he gets beaten up. he said one night he heard his brother getting beaten up before going to bed.
Your kid is amazing. Requesting for a tutor to improve himself and having a dream this early on.
Kids are supposed to have fun. It's every kid's right to have fun, to play, and just simply enjoy their childhood. I feel bad for that kid going through hardships at such a young age.
How is he supposed to do well in school when he has such busy day ?!?!
Tuition,Dance,sing and acting classes no wonder the child is unable to do his homework his schedule is full he doesn't have any time to do his homework or relax.
He is more hardworking than me at that age, seriously, he really has a lot to do, at such a young age. The teaches should also be more understanding of his situation, give more guidance.
dad : i actually think failures is good
also dad before : THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE !
I'm real proud for him, I didn't get much time to learn as well. But this kid is a good kid, and I hope he isn't stressing out too much
he studies 30 minutes and 1 hour everyday me: i study for 1 min and countinue playing
Give the mom a round of applause for being very encouraging
This video called me helpless and useless in 10 alien languages.
I-
idk why the parents want to pressure him into being academically gifted, bright, or something i mean its obvious his gifted and mastered at other areas and its already enough i mean he’s already talented 😅
2:36 oh I pretty sure that because you never recognized his effort so he’s trying even harder for you to recognize it
Just want to give this little boy a hug and tell him he did great and he is amazing for keeping up with everything
If i was in his shoes i would have thrown tantrums
They are lucky to have a kid like him
And hope he doesnt miss out his childhood
3:23
When you study 15-30 mins and get good grades 👁👄👁
Bruh, this kid accomplished more than I ever will.
*Kid:80 is low*
*Me:?????*
80 is actually low if you think about it as it's a single point from getting a C
@@Jerbt which country are you in?
@@Jerbt for me 50 is a pass and 80 is an A
He said he got an 80. He said it was low. I would be glad to get at least an 80 on anything in an AP class after studying for 3 hours straight.
1:52 turn on subtitles
To: everyone who wrote negative comment
1. Try being a parents
think before you comment
being a famous is that kid dream
and I must say, I have to give LOT OF respect to his parents to support his dream while probably their surrounding think it was a bad thing to do.
There is no such a thing as perfect parents.
While saying that, School also important. The score doesnt have to be perfect but at least he WANTS to learn by himself. the parents dont pressure him to get good score.
"For me, 80 is low"
me : *YES I FINALLY GOT 60*
Woah I don't even understand why 60 is a pass lmao
Well to be fair for us its 75 passing grade on a report card but i get constant 90s
these parents deserve a better life
Imagine when he grow up and be like
Parents : when will you return home
Boy : sorry ma,im busy oh next year ah
i think might as well left them in elders house.
In the US, you can quit school to become a full-time actor, that’s okay there. But in Singapore, they have a compulsory education law where you need to attend school until Sec 3. I’m not sure why Singapore is so strict.
Plot twist:
he was just being an actor for this video he isn’t actually stressed?
I don't get why people are hating on the parents...They are just supporting his dreams.
He doesn't really need to go to school if he's already successful
But good for him for still wanting to try
Poor child. It’s great for him to have a dream in singing, dancing, and acting, but staying up till 1am and being pressured my his parents to do good in school is not healthy,
0:38 he basically wants to be a kpop idol 😅😂
I guess you have so much respect for him, using laughing emojis
To be honest I think it's so much to do in his schedule that is affecting the result in school, he has no opportunity to let his mind breathe. Having that breathing time is very helpful, and helps the development in knowledge.
2:38 - yes of course.. im sure 🙄
Yall need to realise its the kid himself who wanted this. The parents as they say in the video, guide him along.
lady: wOo ! oPpA !!
me: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Why is everybody mad at the parents? His parents aren't forcing him. They wouldn't mind if he dropped out. If they didn't care about him they would've never let him go to tuition. She even asked if he was discouraged and comforted him.
Wait he from maris stella primary!? I from maris stella secondary lol
Why that’s what happen when you make the child that is an actor even more stress , this child going through a lot right now and his parents are using him like a toy juts to make money out of him and then he’s gonna end up have ruff life and then end up becoming depressed and that happens to kids like him , god may protect him
He was dancing to BTS gogo y’all
1:07 yessssss, 💜💜💜💜💜
people commenting about "this is unacceptable", i think he's talking more about the fact that he forgot there even was a test. Not surprised though, kid is way too busy and needs some time to cool down, destress, be a kid
Oof? Oof? Oof.
After watching this video i just feel sorry for the boy , mainly because his parents is giving him to much pressure and schedule .. On a side note grades does not define who you are because its just a piece of paper in the end and its unless once you start working
I honestly think ya'll should give him a break. Thats WAYYY to much pressure for a 9 year old. Dont expect him to do everything flawlessly if he's stressed and doesnt have time for himself (which is important) im not saying that school and filming isnt important, but that he needs time for himself and have peace
sofi ༄ but he wanted to. His parents can’t tell him to give up on his dream cuz it’s too much stress
@@chloeli3148 yes i know. But he's stressed out. There's a difference between doing his hobby and getting stressed out, even if its in the same term. I cant assume, but from his expressions he just needs a lil break from his job and school to take time and relax. *maybe* it can make him feel better. (Bonus story because its based on my experience) im actually an artist and although i love drawing, there are some times where i just need to take a break and relax a bit. Because i have a "burn out" which means overworking myself till the point where i cant do things properly.
@@omedetow yea, but this isn’t a hobby. He’s making money off of it. If making money was easy, then why are so many people starved each year?
@@chloeli3148 i dont know about you, but in this interview/video he said it was more of a hobby. But the parents are taking it a little too far for me at least. Also just because he's making money doesn't mean it isn't his hobby. But from your statement it feels like his parents are taking his hobby/something that makes him happy into more of a task, which is earning money. I personally think he's a bit too young to actually earn money..
“This is some kind of self-inflicting pressure- but it never came from us”
the amount of pressure he receives... his schedule is packed and he barely has time... as parents, clearly you guys are causing a lot of the problem from setting up so much. I get that he has a dream, and he’s accomplishing it well, but the truth is, you can’t achieve much if you have too much on your hands. Focusing on one task, then on another, then another... it’s too much for the brain to handle, especially for a young kid.
He will go far, I just know it, but I feel the parents are taking no responsibility...
It’s nice to know your parents understand you unlike most of us here :/
Ppl who r saying "these parents r hypocritical" no they are not.
He chose to have all that, he wanted all that, and the parents wanted him to be happy
