Encouragement

  It happened today as my mum and i bumped into an old friend....... So basically what she told us gave me a shock...... She said that recently her son failed his maths test..... She also felt surprised herself as her son was once a top student...... so what she told us really gave me a nightmare.
  She mentioned that her son was a disgrace to the family...... well, i was kinda angry at her at first but i kept my head and remained cool..... anyway her son is still in primary school so actually u cant blame him for being inconsistent in his studies..... The most important thing is not to give up on him..... as a parent, u should always encourage, motivate and guide them to the right path. Worst of all, she said she caned and whacked him for failing the test.... besides, she threatened him that she would reduce his pocket money.... isn't it mean to treat a primary school student like that? This is not "normal" at all.......
   Take me for example..... i cant deny the fact that i was an idiot when i was in primary school..... i can't even read until i reached standard 2 till 3......... in fact, i used to be a shy and quiet kid...... that's why some people thought i was suffering from ADHD or autism....... but many things have changed since i reached secondary school..... i haven't got a B before in my history test since i was in form 1 till form 3..... i am not bragging here ok? i'm just sharing what i have been through...... after all i can conclude that i have found myself , my true personality when i was in form 5..... the reason i study , to get good grades in exam, and remain positive is because of the people i love...... without my family, and friends supporting me, there is no reason for me to exist.......
    Anyway, support from family members is the key for a child to excel and inculcate noble values in themselves...... i knw i dont have the right to talk here as i am yet to be a parent, but that is how i feel..... a child should be showered with love and happiness around them...... so i am just expressing my opinion here as a teenager...... hopefully everything will be fine soon.... and to tell you a secret, now i feel comfortrable with what i am now because i have the support and encouragement from my friends and family:)
