This sounds like a consequence of coming from money. Some rich parents are slave drivers and others are just happy having their kids live off the trust fund. Wealth makes being a good parent more challenging.
That being said, most kids want to vet away from their parents and establish themselves at that age.
Nah, it’s pretty normal in South Korea. School and the expectations of success are just brutal over there. It’s not unusual to see groups of kids coming home from school/after school programs after dark.
Watched a video before of kids from Whales doing an exchange with Korean students, and they were miserable. Like you said, they were getting back home late from clubs and cram tutoring at like 10pm, and would then get up for school around 6am or so.
This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.
Yeap, including cram schools most kids highschool and below are pulling 12-16 hour days. Over there grade school and highschool are where you put your work in and really over exert yourself, and then college and grad school are a cake walk and when you get to finally party your ass off.
