If you say "Damn I want to live my life like this!" You better rethink that. This lifestyle is awful the loneliness drives you crazy and depresses you incredibly. I've been living like it for 3 years and currently working on moving out of it. Once you go in its so damn difficult to get out of it and interacting with others is one of the biggest challenges of them all.
I understand that pain but we all had reason to consider living life like this, and usually the origins of all the pain inevitably traces back to society itself.
+Honeysmile13 For example with me, anxiety, selective eating disorder, and being a sociopath so I chose to isolate myself from everyone but as years goes by the loneliness drives you mad and makes you wish you could be a normal human. Still in the process of recovering from all this pushing myself and I hope everyone else does the same.
Honeysmile13 Getting myself out of it took me realizing it wasn't society's fault, but my own weakness and inability to handle it. It's too easy to point fingers and not be accountable and try to justify or rationalize in order to appease our consciences and stay content with our current ways. Breaking this delusion was the key to fixing a lot of my issues.
It's great at first. No worries. No drama. No society. But you become lonely quick. A pain in the chest, that grows each day. You look for a distraction each day from that pain, until it becomes routine. Breaking the routine is even more difficult. May finally get out and get a job, go to school, etc... But when it comes to social events, it's hard to communicate. And the pain returns.
All I do is work and then stay home :/ I will say though when I want to be social, even if I’ve been in my home and not talked to anyone for weeks or months I can still flip a switch and be as a charming or as social as I need to be. If you’re keeping your mind active it doesn’t matter if you’re by yourself. Also I think if you’re EXTREMELY lonely try easing yourself in with online gaming. Plenty of community’s and people to play with. I’ve been alone for a while and have never felt that lonely.I feel content when I can enjoy my own company, learn some skills learn a language, learn to code. Make yourself even more marketable and employable when you do find yourself forced to be out more.
Not really. Usually the Japanese are clean freaks and this guy tries to emulate that but he barely used any soap, that too under running water. Barely any lather
@@cwhite6397 If someone in pain and having relative close to dying from cancer. Do you say "Oh,just suck up!" to them? You are the reason why people like hikikomori exists.
Yeah a 4 minute video could probably show my entire daily routine also. Wake up, go to work, get coffee, work, get lunch, work, come home, do nothing, bed, repeat. The best part is the coffee.
One of my classic days is: sleeping until the afternoon ( or completely all day ), so staying up all night, listening music all day ( with my dear earphones ), surfing the internet, having dinner ( there are some days that I don't touch food at all... And instead there are certain days that I eat too much ), having lunch ( if I wake up early ), taking a shower, still listening music all day, singing sometimes, still surfing the internet and then the routine reaptes. Sometimes I go outside but only if I have to buy something... or to school ( not much often ).
I think a lot of the hikikomori problem is from Japan's overbearing Tiger momma mothers who crush the spirit of boys from nearly child birth. You have to see it to believe it. I don't know how anybody could survive the oppression of a Japanese mother without jumping in front of a moving train. Japanese mothers are so uber-controlling. Every minute of every single day of a child's life is decided and controlled by the Japanese mothers: especially first born sons. It is horrific at best. -Hikikomori seems to be a coping mechanism for Japanese males. Being born a Japanese male, being raised by a Japanese tiger momma and then working like a robot salaryman at a Japanese corporation must be like being born in hell. These poor guys have no life, just oppression, corporate slavery and finally death.
I can relate to why, as i am also an Asian. This women habit of controlling is basically because in the past of most Asian country, women was treated very poorly and have little standing in everything. Of course, this case happens all over the world but Asian take it up another level, because of that, the majority of women today still affected by the thought of "getting even" so by controlling and oppressing their child, they feel better about themselve. My mother is one of the minority of women who dislike controlling people. However, even in my generation (23 by the way), many of my colleges, associates still have this mindset. That said, there are more than 1 factor when it comes to Hikikomori. Not just the pressure from their own family, but the society as a whole who thinks that the title defines a man's worth also in play. if 9 out of 10 people have a job and fancy title then at least 1 guy have to bite the dust. I know many people said "the universe is big enough for all of us to be happy" but the society is not. So changes? it might happen, it just not in the very near future.
Would you say that Japanese mothers are worse than Jewish mothers? One phrase I heard a while ago: "This bear has claws so sharp that it could tear through you like a Jewish mother through self-esteem"! Which is my experience, is quite apt.
I am currently living Hikikomori. I only leave this room to buy things to eat and pay the hotel bill. I would prefer not having to do that even. I have not left the room now for five days. I am in Los Angeles and feel no need to leave the room or interact with any other human being. I believe the internet contributes to this considerably. I think Howard Huges became a recluse and stayed in a room for many years. No sure if what he did could be considered Hikikomori. Old Howard may have simply descended into madness, I don't know. Also, I am not that young at fifty something. anyway, I am currently digging it but in a masochistic sort of way. I am self diagnosing and my prognosis is not good.
+james franks 5 days! your fine. your fine. thats not living as a recluse thats a time out. i did that for like... months.. i think i still doing it kind of
I have been living the same way for over 4 years now. My home is my comfort zone. I go out to my garden whenever I want but I rarely go beyond the gate. I ask my helper to do groceries and other stuff for me. Yes, it can be lonely sometimes but I still manage to be happy. My friends and family are quite used to my incognito status. I go out of my shell and enjoy an isolated beach. Or once a year, I visit a friend and have an all night conversation. Then I go back to being invisible again. I am 37.
I lived without human interaction for a month a couple of years ago. Maybe I said hello to the cashier at the grocery store, but other than that I didn't speak to anyone. I did write with people online, but no one in my own country. And I took walks and saw a lot of people, but didn't speak with them. Most of the time I was either online or watching TV-series. And I was totally content. I didn't have a job at the time. Now I do, so I interact with people pretty much daily. But I know that it wouldn't be all too difficult for me to fall back into isolation. But I don't think it's very healthy, so I make sure I'm interacting with people regularly.
Believe me you dont want life like this bullshit You got this from ex-hikikomori after the college I decided take 1 year for my self without study or anything else I just in home watch movies and play alot of games and I take another year after all that I feel boring and depression Im to far to my famly and my god without any reason to live
That's not agoraphobia That's not this Keep doing this shit and I'll won't do shit your at a dead end besides kicking me out there is nothing else you can do
Before lockdown I used to interact with people every day, except for maybe weekends. Now I work from home and take online classes. I could go weeks without leaving the house...but I make an effort and go out to get my hair cut and dental appointments...even though nobody really cares about how I look.
Every Vacation i'm just in my room, sitting and playing with my gadgets. The only reason for me to go out is when I need to go to the kitchen, grab my meal and go back to my room again.
Is my uncle a hikikomori? He lives in our house and has no job and goes on his laptop everyday. He says he's comfortable living this way. He is almost always preaching buddhism to teen girls on facebook. My parents hate him a lot, but he has no where to go.
No your uncle is not a hikikomori. If he was then then he would live alone and will not use social medias, because hikikomoris only want to be themselves and will not make contact with others
+Ryonator420 You're wrong, you have a very narrow perception of hikikomori. At best, you're half right in the way like saying "all schizophrenics hear voices that tell them to do bad things" There are a couple levels & a few types to hikikomori
I did for 6 years, now I work for a startup cuz the pay on my own was unreliable.. but if you can make it work on your own its the optimal solution.. even if you have to work for a startup, alot of them let you work from home (mine does) and if you like to build stuff it's more like playing a game than working
Ultimate Sin I have been doing offsite freelancing myself as well, and yeah the pay truly is a little. I went to a couple of interviews and they gave me "the we'll get back to you in a week" BS... I know it is most probably because of my social awkwardness. Yes I am an Illustrator, and Graphic Designer, and I enjoy creative writing. I am best productive being alone at home. I gotta find some startups then, thanks for the heads up.
Ultimate Sin Thank you! I'm glad I can find people online that can understand my situation, such as yourself. Aside from finding a job, I just launched a tshirt brand that I illustrate on and am generating a small income from it. I wonder if you'd be curious in checking it out?
Working 40 hours a week in Japan is considered "part time." It is the greed of the corporations that is putting too much stress on the people and causing the breakdown of a normal life. Working 10 to 12 hour days could drive anyone insane.
And that's why they are making anime, for people like this, to distract them into the DREAM ANIME WORLD, and never do a shit about their lives. THIS IS WHAT CORPORATIONS DO.
I never cared EVER ABOUT MY LIFE. I can not recall ever giving 2 shits about life. I want to be put out of my misery but all I get is play play torture. I thought I would be so distraught I would just kill myself but all you did was make me an addict GOOD JOB
Jon Phone Everything can make you addicted. Food, work, books, etc. Anime can be good and you can even learn from Anime about life (for example in "Naruto"). Not the anime industry did wrong, but the people who let themselves be captured in this
iwillseetheisland Yeah, it's being in your own world; your own mind and imagination. But at the same time, I feel like too much anime and manga ruins an individual's originality and sense of creativity. But I guess that's true with a lot of things today (books, social media, & etc.).
On a Clover-Covered Hill Eh... But I totally get it. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt like they wanted to just be left alone. It's a lot of pressure to have people (even the ones you love, who aren't supposed to hurt you) judge you constantly, compare you to others, and put you down. You start to think, "Geez, if my own family is this way, what about strangers? No one will like me for who I am, ever. It's better to be alone." I understand 100%. But the longer you hide away, the more anxious and scary it is to leave. Plus, it's harder to acquire your own life experiences. They say 'A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea,' and it's true. I hope these people can find friends who do not judge or look down upon them, but inspire them to move forward in their lives.
Seems like a really good life! Mine is pretty similar. Except I go out for long walks and can handle my business when I need it (signed up for a gym membership today e.g.). Other than that, I don't see the purpose of being more outgoing and social.
ten years of my life i just stay at my room because dissapoint and lack of job. everyday i wish wont woke up anymore . together with depression im also sickly person. is not easy to cope to this kind of problem . you need to find inspiration to have circles of friends or get a job. i remember bcoz we are just my only happiness watching tv.
I know the feeling. I sleep all day and only leave my bedroom from 10pm to 3am, to avoid my stepfather, who gets drunk and abusive. Sometimes he hits me. I've taken to smoking meth to escape, and I honestly don't care if I die because of it. it would be preferable to this miserable existence. I wish I had never been born.
dunno why i'm watching this cause my life is like this too. a few years back i went to uni after 3 years being a shut-in, but i dropped out again and now i live as a shut-in again since december. outside life is too much for me. i fear i'll be like this forever. i'm sorry i disappoint my family... i can't even kill myself. if you start to feel like this, please seek some help, you might have a chance. do it before it's too late. the more time it passes, the most difficult it gets and then it's almost impossible to go back to the real world. hang in there
Try socializing in hikikamori groups, that way you can all escape from it together. Try once a week then add other days out, going to movies, restaurants, bars. join sports clubs doing karate or body building or something. It would be awesome if you volunteered to help others this could be a good way to help your selves anyway good luck guys.
It looks like a pleasant life but trust me it's not being a hikikimori brings a sense of emptyness as you lack the felling of belongingness you have widthrawn from the society you are afraid of them you can't face them I wish you man good luck I was close to being a hikikimori but because of my friends I didn't I suggest you to make some friends the genuine one and develop some kind of interest in some area or subject like mine is science
Look at all the side dishes for one meal and he didn't even have to cook for that luxurious meal. They say hikigomori is a societal phenomenon where people decide to shut down due to the culture that basically doesn't allow you to be proud of yourself. I say it's a new form of retirement, an affordable package funded by middle-class parents. Yeah, I'm just jealous of his meal.
I have social anxiety and depression and spend most of time, on the computer and anime manga. My family try their best to help me. for people who want to become one just don't it does get lonly sometimes.
Read Romans Chapter 1 in the Bible and you know why these strange things happens. And then the next and next Chapter. The Word of God is the Truth, and the Truth make youe free. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. The Son shall make you free indeed, because he is the Truth. Many are called but a few are elect. Many hate the Truth. And the Way to Destruction is great and many go in to them. Here is the Gospel: Jesus is the Son of God who died on the Cross for our Sins and rose after 3 Days from the Grave, and whoever believes on him has Everlasting Life and become also a Son of God because we are in him, in His Work, not by our own work. And everyone who rejects Jesus Christ will stand before God at the Judgement Day and cast into the Lake of Fire, because of there evil works, "and the Smoke of their Torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, and they have no Rest Day nor Night". The Lors God bless you and the Grace be with you in Jesus Name.
I'm not even saying they're all like that I'm not even seen most but that's why you see a lot of kids that don't socialize with people and I get depressed
they read manga and use battery-feed equipments, also, they use gas oven to cook if power went out, given that if they are capable to cook. If not, it's instant noodle and other packed/canned food.
My only question is how does the rent get paid? Especially for older guys who don't have the support? Someone has got to be enabling them. Most parents I know wouldn't let you stay home while they bust their chops working.
So I'm a local introverted otaku and love play video games but I'm not completely locked down to my room I go to college study professional courses and spend my free time in anime and games I do go out to eat and do other works and I do go out with my parents does that make me a hikikimori
We need to help the Hikiko people. To all the Hikis out there: Philosophy is most stronger when a person has time, the time to think and solve world problems....and there's many, trust me. Every society may have these individuals, who where let down by their country or the job part of their country and their mean bosses and high slave workloads, which caused poor health, when they where at their prime searching for love. But, another country can accept them, or another way of life can help them regain their trust in humanity. Art helped me, on brightening my life, and off those around me. The question is, how do we as (Governments, Leaders and Wealthy people) put positivety back into the lives of highly skilled people or genuine geniuses, so that they can re-join the workforce thereby not straining others to worker longer hours, thereby repeating the cycle, and that they can help build,maintain and contribute to society too make the world a better place.
This is no way to live your life but the problem is that once this shit has become your character, you don't really wanna change cause it feels like far too much to do. That's why it's important in life to set yourself a goal and work towards that to avoid falling into these traps.
I like social media like anyone else so I make sure I actually get out and do stuff it doesn't mean all you're going to have your social media life anymore it just means are also going to live a little in the real world and it is healthy to live in the real world some
The parents need to learn how to encourage the children. I suspect it is them and the system they live in, that makes the kids feel this way with their high expectations, instead of praising the kids for their efforts even when they fail or make mistakes. A good idea would be to find an out let for the kids socially, away from electronic screens unless they are used as tools or resources. If you know there strengths and abilities get them to put them to use. Get them to tutor one on one to students that need help. It could be math, music, art, or even Japanese to foreign students. The main thing is they will have human contact, that is sure to build their self esteem, and confidence in themselves a little bit at a time. carefully increasing more achievable goals. One of their goals could be financial independence, travel over seas or getting married who knows but this will bring motivation to their mind and heart. I've found that when I help others it makes me happy, whether I know them or not, to be kind, loving and caring brings out the best in ourselves. These kids are screaming for help, so let's help them. 27/04/2017. 21:25.

I know it is most probably because of my social awkwardness. Yes I am an Illustrator, and Graphic Designer, and I enjoy creative writing. I am best productive being alone at home. I gotta find some startups then, thanks for the heads up.
dont let the interviews get you down it is brutal out there especially if you don't fit the mold, just keep trying eventually you'll get in somewhere
Ultimate Sin Thank you! I'm glad I can find people online that can understand my situation, such as yourself. Aside from finding a job, I just launched a tshirt brand that I illustrate on and am generating a small income from it. I wonder if you'd be curious in checking it out?
Working 40 hours a week in Japan is considered "part time." It is the greed of the corporations that is putting too much stress on the people and causing the breakdown of a normal life. Working 10 to 12 hour days could drive anyone insane.
And that's why they are making anime, for people like this, to distract them into the DREAM ANIME WORLD, and never do a shit about their lives. THIS IS WHAT CORPORATIONS DO.
I never cared EVER ABOUT MY LIFE. I can not recall ever giving 2 shits about life. I want to be put out of my misery but all I get is play play torture. I thought I would be so distraught I would just kill myself but all you did was make me an addict GOOD JOB
Jon Phone Everything can make you addicted. Food, work, books, etc. Anime can be good and you can even learn from Anime about life (for example in "Naruto"). Not the anime industry did wrong, but the people who let themselves be captured in this
it's not depression.. people is just enjoy to be alone
iwillseetheisland Yeah, it's being in your own world; your own mind and imagination. But at the same time, I feel like too much anime and manga ruins an individual's originality and sense of creativity. But I guess that's true with a lot of things today (books, social media, & etc.).
On a Clover-Covered Hill Eh... But I totally get it. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt like they wanted to just be left alone. It's a lot of pressure to have people (even the ones you love, who aren't supposed to hurt you) judge you constantly, compare you to others, and put you down. You start to think, "Geez, if my own family is this way, what about strangers? No one will like me for who I am, ever. It's better to be alone." I understand 100%. But the longer you hide away, the more anxious and scary it is to leave.
Plus, it's harder to acquire your own life experiences. They say 'A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea,' and it's true. I hope these people can find friends who do not judge or look down upon them, but inspire them to move forward in their lives.
its being a coward
By definition, hikikomori is depression. A specific kind of depression.
Kitto Finale alone for 10 years?? U sure about that?
You dishonor your samurai brood rine!
LOL
Samestro lol
Samestro keep saying your going to make stay in there pit
he dishonored wano
Samestro 😂😂😂
So good you don't have to deal with stupid people outside. You are lucky you can happily live like that.
Seems like a really good life! Mine is pretty similar. Except I go out for long walks and can handle my business when I need it (signed up for a gym membership today e.g.). Other than that, I don't see the purpose of being more outgoing and social.
People can't live without other people even if you think otherwise
This is my life, until I have to go to work to pay my bills that is. Gave up trying to hang with people irl because they always bail or say no
ten years of my life i just stay at my room because dissapoint and lack of job.
everyday i wish wont woke up anymore . together with depression im also sickly person. is not easy to cope to this kind of problem . you need to find inspiration to have circles of friends or get a job. i remember bcoz we are just my only happiness watching tv.
Daily life of a software engineer: Quarantine Edition
Perfect ASMR vid.
I know the feeling. I sleep all day and only leave my bedroom from 10pm to 3am, to avoid my stepfather, who gets drunk and abusive. Sometimes he hits me. I've taken to smoking meth to escape, and I honestly don't care if I die because of it. it would be preferable to this miserable existence. I wish I had never been born.
I love you! And you are a great person.
Are u still alive?
dunno why i'm watching this cause my life is like this too. a few years back i went to uni after 3 years being a shut-in, but i dropped out again and now i live as a shut-in again since december. outside life is too much for me. i fear i'll be like this forever. i'm sorry i disappoint my family... i can't even kill myself.
if you start to feel like this, please seek some help, you might have a chance. do it before it's too late. the more time it passes, the most difficult it gets and then it's almost impossible to go back to the real world. hang in there
Hi we're the same. Im also a hiki too. Can we share our stories through dm?
Try socializing in hikikamori groups, that way you can all escape from it together. Try once a week then add other days out, going to movies, restaurants, bars. join sports clubs doing karate or body building or something. It would be awesome if you volunteered to help others this could be a good way to help your selves anyway good luck guys.
Since when?!! the hikikomori practices guitar, wears clean clothes, listen to classical music or GET OUT HIS ROOM for dinner!!.
It happens to a lot of people around the world you know, it's called depression.
@Stardust that's actually depression
That was a cool short movie ryuteta.. hopefully you get another daily life now bruh!!!
What the fuck is with that hand washing technique?
nice video !!
So basically what I would do with my day off.
It looks like a pleasant life but trust me it's not being a hikikimori brings a sense of emptyness as you lack the felling of belongingness you have widthrawn from the society you are afraid of them you can't face them I wish you man good luck I was close to being a hikikimori but because of my friends I didn't I suggest you to make some friends the genuine one and develop some kind of interest in some area or subject like mine is science
I have been considering becoming a hikikomori. o:
Should two hikimori to live together like friends
I didn't know there was a name for this up until 10 minutes ago. Been in this slump lately. This is actually the most miserable shit I've ever felt.
Fernando Mendoza
Hope things get better for you. Being a hikki sucks.
Clips his nails every day? Wonder how often he shaves.
Look at all the side dishes for one meal and he didn't even have to cook for that luxurious meal. They say hikigomori is a societal phenomenon where people decide to shut down due to the culture that basically doesn't allow you to be proud of yourself. I say it's a new form of retirement, an affordable package funded by middle-class parents. Yeah, I'm just jealous of his meal.
I have social anxiety and depression and spend most of time, on the computer and anime manga. My family try their best to help me. for people who want to become one just don't it does get lonly sometimes.
Do u still go to work or school? Or are you in your room with your family supporting you?
I graduate school and I can't work I am on disability.
lucky. ....
i can't really support myself but idk..
+Sheri Bartholomew Fight...try.....Persistence is the key, along with self respect. kisses!
Read Romans Chapter 1 in the Bible and you know why these strange things happens. And then the next and next Chapter. The Word of God is the Truth, and the Truth make youe free. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. The Son shall make you free indeed, because he is the Truth. Many are called but a few are elect. Many hate the Truth. And the Way to Destruction is great and many go in to them. Here is the Gospel: Jesus is the Son of God who died on the Cross for our Sins and rose after 3 Days from the Grave, and whoever believes on him has Everlasting Life and become also a Son of God because we are in him, in His Work, not by our own work.
And everyone who rejects Jesus Christ will stand before God at the Judgement Day and cast into the Lake of Fire, because of there evil works, "and the Smoke of their Torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, and they have no Rest Day nor Night".
The Lors God bless you and the Grace be with you in Jesus Name.
I'm not even saying they're all like that I'm not even seen most but that's why you see a lot of kids that don't socialize with people and I get depressed
now what happens if and when the electronically suddenly goes out on occasion. how do you coupe?
they read manga and use battery-feed equipments, also, they use gas oven to cook if power went out, given that if they are capable to cook. If not, it's instant noodle and other packed/canned food.
I thought he was gona do a summoning jutsu when he was washing he's hands
Nossaa que vontade de tirar essas cutículas! Vídeo legal! só não sei como cheguei aqui,😊
i wonder what he's doing now?
based on 'Welcome to the NHK'?
My only question is how does the rent get paid? Especially for older guys who don't have the support? Someone has got to be enabling them. Most parents I know wouldn't let you stay home while they bust their chops working.
Like that rozen maiden guy.
So I'm a local introverted otaku and love play video games but I'm not completely locked down to my room I go to college study professional courses and spend my free time in anime and games I do go out to eat and do other works and I do go out with my parents does that make me a hikikimori
the water dude!!!
Waste water
This was me for 5 years and now i ended up sick because of this bad lifestyle. 🙁
What kind of illness ?
We need to help the Hikiko people.
To all the Hikis out there: Philosophy is most stronger when a person has time, the time to think and solve world problems....and there's many, trust me.
Every society may have these individuals, who where let down by their country or the job part of their country and their mean bosses and high slave workloads, which caused poor health, when they where at their prime searching for love.
But, another country can accept them, or another way of life can help them regain their trust in humanity.
Art helped me, on brightening my life, and off those around me. The question is, how do we as (Governments, Leaders and Wealthy people) put positivety back into the lives of highly skilled people or genuine geniuses, so that they can re-join the workforce thereby not straining others to worker longer hours, thereby repeating the cycle, and that they can help build,maintain and contribute to society too make the world a better place.
This is no way to live your life but the problem is that once this shit has become your character, you don't really wanna change cause it feels like far too much to do. That's why it's important in life to set yourself a goal and work towards that to avoid falling into these traps.
I'm thinking about being a hikikomori but then I have lots of assignment to do.So bye2
Welcome to the NHK
this is me but i don't see it as a problem. it sucks but it doesn't suck so much at the same time
This is like the sequel to castaway with Tom Hanks half Japaneses son. The glasses are like a second rate Wilson AKA Ray
I wonder if he's okay now
Not bad for a film student's work
Hope you are alright
daily life of YOSHIKAGE KIRA
And here I'm being freaked out by his handwashing. Turn off the tap when you are scrubbing your hands together! Don't waste water! 😂
my question is, if he does nothing all day but confined in his room playing video games and surfing the net, who make his meals?
His mom
This guy is Korean.
kawaisou (hiki-NEET)
Who enable these hikikomoris? This is showing a Korean hikikomori, but are these more prevalent in Asia?
Elizabeth Rhee yes most are in asia but they live all around the world.
Add the Holy Rosary to your daily routine and you'll be more productive than 80% of the people around the world
how the hikikimoris earn money?
sounds like my life
this guy is korean
hikimori is just introverts taking loniliness too far
I like social media like anyone else so I make sure I actually get out and do stuff it doesn't mean all you're going to have your social media life anymore it just means are also going to live a little in the real world and it is healthy to live in the real world some
Why is that Korean on the newspaper?
The parents need to learn how to encourage the children. I suspect it is them and the system they live in, that makes the kids feel this way with their high expectations, instead of praising the kids for their efforts even when they fail or make mistakes. A good idea would be to find an out let for the kids socially, away from electronic screens unless they are used as tools or resources. If you know there strengths and abilities get them to put them to use. Get them to tutor one on one to students that need help. It could be math, music, art, or even Japanese to foreign students. The main thing is they will have human contact, that is sure to build their self esteem, and confidence in themselves a little bit at a time. carefully increasing more achievable goals. One of their goals could be financial independence, travel over seas or getting married who knows but this will bring motivation to their mind and heart. I've found that when I help others it makes me happy, whether I know them or not, to be kind, loving and caring brings out the best in ourselves. These kids are screaming for help, so let's help them. 27/04/2017. 21:25.
