The article that I read about was called "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior". It was about how Chinese Mothers not only want the best for their children but they also want them to quote " spend their lives repaying their parents". Compared to China Ameircan children have it way better than Chinese children and teenagers. Chinese Children mostly girls cant even attend a sleepover or be in thier school play. We have it easier than they do. Chinese children have to obey their parents and excell in school with nothing less than an A. But down here where I live Most teenage boys have all Ds in high school.

I think that Chinese Children have no freedom or life. They cant have fum or live a normal child hood. Thier life is full of hard work and no fun. They have to at least have some fun. What I also read about in the article is that Chinese parents also even spy on thier children. Now is really extreme. To me they dont even trust their children. To me Chinese Children lives arent about them. Basically they are forced to lived their parents lives and live up to their expectations and acustoms.
