      being eldest myself sometimes it means hold all negative emotions alone and try to be strong when things aren't going well in the family since if parents can't do it then the responsibility will be yours, so you learn to be quiet around family members, pretend to be indifferent tho actually you want to scream bc others, your parents and younger siblings already screaming

    😢 I can understand where she’s coming from. It can be hard reading children at that age. You never know what’s going on and you want to be close to them. He’s not cold he’s normal. Most Korean boys his age are like this. It doesn’t mean they are bad or cold. They just want space and are finding themselves in this world. You did good mom. He’s a good kid ❤

    If a teenager likes what he/she is doing that is what makes him/her happier.
    Anything can be a business profession such as, teaches music, cutting hair, cooking and so on…..
    God bless mom and her three kids and may the Lord Jesus guides them during hard times and protects her family.

      ​@@GneskosIt's still a sad thing. Having a mastery of second culture and language (especially the one that belongs to their foreign-born mom) in addition to the mainstream Korean one should be a great advantage. Their communication with their Khmer relatives or grandparents could be easier and same goes to understanding intricacies of Khmer culture (do's and don'ts, music, level of politeness etc.). But I understand that every mixed-ethnic family has their own circumstances that make learning their ancestral cultures seem difficult. Sometimes foreign-born parents are so focused in getting their kids to be able to succeed in the mainstream society of their adopted countries that they don't have the time and chance for teaching and passing their culture & language to their kids.

      @@Gneskoswhy wouldn't it be a sad thing? of course people assimilate to the country they live in, that's a given, but that has never equalled erasing the culture that they previously had. if anything, people often bring it over to their own homes and families once they move. the food, practices, customs, language, clothes. this is unusual.

      Lots of people are blinded by what’s in front of them. I think it’s one of those things that can never be figured out as to what makes a person see right through it. But I l believe it’s multi faceted as each person comes with their own experiences. His mother probably wasn’t brought up in a way where artistic ideas could be seen as a future. I know that Cambodians went through lots of hardship and is still significantly a high poverty rate. Plus their in Korea, a country which prides itself with the stereotypical be a lawyer or doctor which is seen as successful. All the mom probably knows is the good ok Asian wisedom, “study hard, stay in school, so you don’t have to fail”. Which is not encouraging, especially if you want to be a Artist from a middle or lower class family.

It looks like he’s really good at both art and music. Mom should encourage him to try art school, or at least a couple art classes if the structure of school is too overbearing. I wish them all the best 💗

    16:11 I used to not want kids ever, but this changed my mind. I hope to raise a kid that loves me even though he or she may not seem like it. I think that's the best cause they show you they love you instead of just words.
