Maybe studying literature does affect our views. Remember Macbeth? The Bard made an impact on me ever since Sec 1.

Have fun reading what the storyline is.

Self-fulfilling prophecies. These prophecies are 100% accurate. I choose to believe my children will be great BECAUSE (not in spite) of their problems, and that will be fulfilled.

I’m still nt so sure whether my child’s issue is a pyschology issue or just a phrase that will pass as time goes by…

I posted earlier last year about my nephew. He got into the secondary school of his choice and 3 weeks later, he wants to withdraw. He hates interaction with other school mates/ teachers. He threatens suicide if his parents persists he goes school. And he has found out from MOE website that only first 6 years are compulsory and told his parents he wants to do home schooling for secondary.


I really pity my brother. He’s so distraught by his child’s behavior. At times, even my SIL wants to end her life coz its been so difficult managing her child. They shower their child with so much love unconditionally and yet this is how he repays them.

My nephew has rejected counselling or visits to psychologist or hypnosis sessions. No way he can be convinced to go counselling again. He thinks the advices are all junk.

I wonder if there are any welfare organizations which will have counsellors do home visits?

Little fly,

I also thought counsellors and psychologists were junk when I was a teenager. I still think the one I saw when young was junk. The best thing my parents did was to leave me alone to sort thingsnout myself. The best thing I did for myself was to gain perspective overseas.

For his age, I suggest your brother and sil look up unschooling as a concept, and instead of studies, do some social work with him, and get to know him again. What is he, if he is not a bright disappointment to them? Get to know him as a person, be a family. Leaving school for a while is not a death sentence. When he has regain his perspective and orientation, he will plan his own future. There was a case of a home schooled boy whose mother pulled him out of sec school because she was worried about him, and later he went to poly himself and did very well. It was in the new paper some time ago.

Your nephew is a bright kid who needs to sort out some things himself. He need space. If there are older people whom he trusts, they should spend time with him guiding him.

If your relatives are typically singaporeans entrenched in the thinking that academic success is everything, this will be very unnerving and scary for them. I wish them all the best.

I find it worrying that children are committing suicide because of studying.

If they cannot handle school work then how they go out and work in the future?

I don't think they commit suicide because of studying per se. It is likely many other factors, like fear of failing others' expectations, feeling trapped in a meaningless cycle, etc.

And I don't think school is like work at all! There is so much more freedom as a working adult.
