Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 159: The most serious problem in this internal struggle is the children!

Hearing Zhou Yang's words.

Many viewers felt numb.

However, Zhou Yang hasn't stopped yet.

“It’s not just my cousin, I also have a younger cousin who is in the first year of junior high school, but his parents have already enrolled him in all sorts of classes.”

"What kind of hosting class, to learn hosting skills? What kind of public speaking class, to learn public speaking skills? What kind of basketball class, to learn how to play basketball? There are also swimming classes, and math olympiad classes, physics olympiad classes..."

"It's quite frightening."

"Isn't there a popular saying online right now?"

"How terrifying is a life of self-discipline!"

"Honestly, I didn't see anything too terrible. I only saw how much pain those people were suffering from, forced to be self-disciplined and forced to compete. They were exhausted, both physically and mentally, but they still had to put on a brave face."

"When people are exhausted to the extreme, they no longer have time for sadness and pain."

now.

Hearing what Zhou Yang said touched me deeply.

Yes.

It's really too much for kids, and they can't refuse; they have no choice.

After all, adults can refuse to work overtime; at worst, they can earn less or change jobs.

Because working overtime is an option.

But for children...

They have no choice but to listen to their parents. They don't even know if the pressure from this involution is right or wrong; they only know that their parents say it's for their own good.

So all they could do was silently endure it.

This situation is actually quite terrifying.

Zhou Yang.

They are still telling their story.

“I also saw it.”

"Many parents always look worried."

"They are also anxious and conflicted."

"They are afraid that their children are not good enough, afraid that they will be bullied at school, afraid that their children are too introverted, afraid that their children are too naughty, and afraid that their children have psychological problems."

"They will look worried and anxious whenever their own child is not as good as someone else's."

Speaking of it.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhou Yang's expression.

There was a pause.

continued.

"as if……"

"Every student, in the eyes of their parents, must be a well-rounded individual, without any weaknesses or shortcomings."

As soon as these words came out.

Many parents broke out in a cold sweat, some even feeling ashamed.

Because many people know that they are this kind of parent.

They felt that they had worked hard to raise their children and had given their all. They wanted to do everything they could to satisfy their children's desires.

I've already given so much...

That child definitely can't be worse than other children!
If the child performs poorly, it must be their problem. They must not have paid attention in class or worked hard enough, otherwise they wouldn't have failed.

but.

In fact, every child has their own unique talents.

This talent is innate. For example, some children have exceptional memories and are suited for learning. Some children are good at sports and are suited for athletic pursuits.

If you absolutely have to compare them with others, you should at least make them achieve the advantages of those others.

Isn't this artificial involution?

It will only cause the child immense suffering.

"That...makes sense!"

"I feel so ashamed to admit it, that's how I treat my child. He's physically strong, but not academically. He wanted to be a sports student and go to a sports university. But I insisted he be a general student, and in the end he only got into a vocational college. He hates me so much, sigh." "Seriously, this kind of pressure created by parents is truly painful for children!"

"In fact, looking at it from another perspective, being too strict is not good, but being too indulgent, with no rules and letting children grow up unchecked, is also indirectly harming children because of the intense competition."

"Yes, so raising children really is a science. Many of us parents work hard to make our children study hard, but we don't learn how to raise our children scientifically."

"Yes, a child is a life. Since we brought them into this world, we have to be responsible for them! Otherwise, why should we expect them to be serious about their studies?"

Many parents.

I also learned a lot from Zhou Yang's words.

Zhou Yang's next words left everyone speechless.

"I like watching videos."

"Under some videos of extracurricular activities of children born in the 00s and 10s, there are comments from older brothers and sisters born in the 80s and 90s."

"They said they were very free and happy when they were young."

"They said they learned to swim not in swimming pools, but in rivers and streams."

"I remember when I was learning to swim, I had to strictly follow the coach's instructions, first learning breaststroke, then backstroke, and then freestyle..."

"I was thinking at the time, swimming is so complicated, it must be too tiring to learn."

"After reading the comments from my older siblings, I realized that they were completely different when they were young."

“They would swim in the ponds or streams near the village. After the adults taught them the basics of swimming, they were left to their own devices.”

"They played freely in the water, splashing each other, racing, catching fish and crabs..."

"Looking at these comments, I'm incredibly envious!"

The audience heard what Zhou Yang said.

Many people were lost in memories, and a smile appeared on their faces.

That's how they spent their childhood, and it was truly wonderful.

Although I've grown up.

But they still cherish their childhood memories and feel happy when they think back on them.

They also said...

"Their childhood was spent catching cicadas under the banyan tree by the pond."

"It was a group of three or five friends who would go and steal cherries, plums, oranges, and tomatoes from other people's gardens..."

"Sometimes when you're unlucky, you'll get caught by the host, then get a scolding and be told to only steal what you can eat next time, and not to waste food by throwing it around."

"And then there's riding a bicycle, speeding along the road, and then suddenly falling flat on your face."

"And then there were those who lay on the ground playing marbles, folding newspapers into squares and playing a game of tossing discs..."

Each sentence.

It made everyone feel like they were back in their childhood.

Even Chai Yu's eyes were somewhat unfocused, her gaze wandering, radiating a kind of innocent beauty from a bygone era.

Not just her, but also the other staff members in the studio, including the director.

They all showed expressions of reminiscence and longing.

Just reminiscing brought joy to everyone.

……

"But!"

"By our generation, everything had changed."

"We are either studying, or on our way to study."

"My only form of entertainment is playing on my phone, tablet, or computer."

"There is no longer any time to freely connect with nature, and the only way to relieve stress has become playing video games."

"What's even more ironic is..."

"Many parents are complaining that their children only know how to play games all day long and don't know how to go out and do any physical activity."

"But what actually happens?"

"These parents don't realize that the way they feed their children relaxation is by letting them play games."

"Otherwise, what can the children do?"
