Oh darn, I just deleted my post… here I go again.. you guys must’ve thought I had something really awesome to say.. lol
@asmonet; alright, geez, sorry for bringing up a topic because I was procrastinating Well, it isn’t really just Kung fu. His attitude towards lots of other things as well, such as school. But hey, yeah, sure, I’m not exactly up his ass about it either. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to up his motivation. And he does tell me about what goes on in Kung fu, as I used to be in it as well, and know everyone.
How into it was I? Hmm, he misses a lot of school when he’s “sick” and stays home to play games. He’s got it easier because he’s the youngest. His views and my views seem to be completely different though. Nothing really wrong with that. I valued school, hated missing it, whereas he, whenever slightly ill, will stay home to play games. I never missed any of my classes, for whatever I was enrolled in, whether it be piano, piano theory, swimming, or kung fu.
@papayalily; It’s not only from the absence of my parents that I am put in charge.
@Seaofclouds; thanks for the input, umm, I’m 18. And yes, this brother is the youngest child, my sister is a few years older than I. My parents have said that he was wasting their money before. And yes, I try not to worry about their income, but I can’t help it. I also feel that I should be the one paying for my own education. I try to help out, whenever I can, where ever I can. Hmmm, what did I write before I deleted my post by accident?..
Ummm, yes well, here is a blurb I found that seems to relate to me.—>
“Age and sex are major determinants of sibling status in most parts of the world. An ancient Confucian code for family socialization in Chinese society was as follows: ‘Fathers should be kind to their children, and sons should be obedient to their parents, and older brothers should love their younger siblings, and younger brothers should respect their older ones.’ Younger brothers and sisters were expected to obey and respect their older siblings, particularly the big brother, as if he were in the parental position.”
Anyways, I never really expect people to understand, but hey, I try. I’m going to stop procrastinating now, as I do have a very important final tomorrow. Bye for now, and thanks for the comments!
