Chopstick Hairpiece Contest [CLOSED]

And that is all she wrote.

Hmm...~

 

[AhGwee]

I was once a victim of Chopsticks...

 

[renano]

Hmm... an unfortunate victim?~

 

[AhGwee]

Yes...you see, I was kind of a problem child. So what my mother would do as a punishment would be to use chopstick to whack me. It wasn't nice xD

 

[renano]

That is quite painful.

Although such techniques of disciplining and punishing are still practiced due to our parents upbringing so these are then transferred to their offspring.

I have been beaten as well. I didn't mind it, but what bothered me was how my mother would apologize and ask for forgiveness. She was depressed back then, but she's better now.

 

[AhGwee]

Yes, my mother often used to say that the reason as to why she would hit me as a child was to show love and care and to put me in the right direction. When I look back on it, I guess it did steer me in the right path of my life. Nice to see that majority of Asians/Oriental share the same fate so I know how that pain feels.
Though if I were to ever bring up a child of my own I wouldn't hit him unless his actions were to severely hurt someone.

 

[renano]

That's a good outtake on how to view disciplinary techniques... as a method of steering in the right direction.

You'd probably raise some nice children if you do bring them up without too much severe punishment.

My father has not once 'beaten' me per se, but he did have his ways to teach me some lessons.

One example was how I often stepped on people's feet on purpose. So my father told me to stop, but I kept doing it.

...

Since I would ignore his statement... he stepped on my feet instead, but not too hard just good enough to feel a slight pain.

I cried... and he laughed. xD

 

[AhGwee]

Ahh my father never once beat me too. At most he would have just sent me a room, close the door and tell me to think about what I did. He's come back like an hour later and then apologise. He used to drink a lot of alcohol before and once threw me on the radiator when he was angry. Never did I mess with him again xD

But yeah, all these things are usually based on the ways that our parents have been brought up. I was glad that I was brought up with these parents of mine. Cruel yet kind at the same time.

i should probably stop with these stories about my upbringing in a Chinese family xD

 

[renano]

I should thank you for sharing them. Many here probably had similar experiences or aren't aware of such things.

On a different note... I saw Sam... time to bomb him.

 

[AhGwee]

Heheh, have fun~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... upbringing... mehs... well not like i had much trouble :/ Except for my mom going a little nuts cuz apparently i was completely friendless and anti social in her eyes =.=

 

[renano]

Sam... I checked out your Skype profile.

You don't watch anime RAW, but you set your language to Japanese... /me slightly confused

 

[AhGwee]

xD My mother didn't really care about how many friends I made in the past. As long as I knew one Chinese person, it is enough.
Also, it was all about grades when I was younger so it was hard to bring people over.

Her logic used to be: 'You didn't get any good grades? You must be playing too much games~'

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

O.o when did i set japanese... dont remember this at all...

 

[renano]

When I looked at your profile...

It had Language: Japanese.

Friends...~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

But i dont remember poking at the profile at all D: Except for the kitty....

My father had a solemn smile whenever I received 'Cs' during elementary school.

That sort of was the reason why I strive for 'perfection'.

 

[Shir0]

i sucked so hard in elementary school, since i still thought it was just a place to play...and do school stuff that wasnt important xD

with time i began to understand what school was. from then on...my grades just got better xD

C's were really the limit. always saying i am fooling around too much when i got them. someday i began to only show my results to my mom xD

 

[renano]

I did the same for awhile... only showing them to my mother~ xD She would comfort me and congratulate me for doing my best no matter what grade I received.

Getting 90s or higher, 'As', or a high percentage was difficult at first because I was pretty 'lazy' back then. xD

 

[Shir0]

well i was lazy throughout my whole student life, but i began to strife a little bit more for better grades. so in the end as long as it was a science or arts or math...i could manage high percentages with not too much effort. sometimes still hard to achieve, though :)

in some subjects i aimed for the best grade...not that i gave more effort just because i wanted that~ xD

but now i got lazier again <:3

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... didnt know how to speak english well or something during elementary so i got shoved into special ed for about half a year...

 

[AhGwee]

Ahhh tough life~

 

[Shir0]

on one report in elementary it said i was too spoiled XD
