Warning: Asian drama


FUCK. Seriously? I know this is going to make me sound like a stupid teenager, but my parents just made me add them on Facebook and change my profile picture to one that they like (and that I totally hate). ARGH. All my friends are like, "Yeah, just tell them no, and you have your own privacy." LOLOLOL, Americans are so cute. Asians, you ALL know exactly what I am talking about. I can never go to Facebook ever again now. That Facebook is no longer my own.


Is it so BAD to have something that is just my OWN and NOT in their control or supervision? Apparently. This is after a giant speech about how much freedom they give me all the time. FUUUCK. They were all intense about it too, which was almost laughable if I hadn't been so pissed. Everything is taken so seriously. EVERYTHING. I remember once we went to Martha's Vineyard, and they asked me to send them the pictures I'd taken. The pictures that they criticised the entire time we were there? Okay, sure. But I kept forgetting to send them, and they went MENTAL. I got chewed out for TWO MONTHS. WHY? Whyyyy is this such a big crisis?


This is all because my cousin stalks my FB without telling me, and then tells his mom, who calls and tells my parents random shit. Yeah, we're that kind of family. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, COUSIN? I thought my generation is supposed to have each other's backs. No wonder you did shit on your college entrance exams. 



How appropriate.

Can't you determine your settings so certain people only see what you want to allow them? - I don't know I gave up fb ages ago.

Perhaps you can set up a different account and not tell them or your cousin?

Yeah I ragequit facebook long ago--not because of my parents, but because of my aunt/uncles/cousins. My parents aren't even the super traditional uptight Asian parents but when American kids talk about their parents and family I'm always just...boggled. Because even though my parents aren't always like that, I've seen my friends' parents and my cousins', and occasionally my parents do that too.

It's the same for me. :/ I'm totaly American but my mother is a total psycho control freak. My mom makes me log into mine while she's behind me so she can read anything that I might possibly be somehow hiding from her. O.o Like what I'm not sure...

But yeah... My mother often complains about my status, my profile pic, the fact that I send PMs to my niece... ~.~;; But like I said--it's because their my stories and they won't fit in a status update. It's all stuff my mom's already read too... *Headdesk*

I don't want the kind of ubber lax parents most people get because seriously people, show a little interest in your child's life. :/ But I could use a LITTLE breathing room... I'm 22 not 4....

*Woes with you*
