so just some background info before we get started on the big bois:
my parents and I are asian and we used to live in china, so these things are probably WAY different than things yall are used to hearing about, so pls keep in mind
ok so #1: GLASSES
im not sure if you knew this about me, but i wear glasses. my story with them goes like this: once upon a time, there was a girl named nutella who was pretty much blind from age 8. this was due to watching youtube videos from 10 pm to 2 am when she was in third grade. her parents however, despite the eye doctors' very prominent views "GET GLASSES AND WEAR THEM" wouldn't buy them. this was bc they thought glasses were very ugly and inconvienient, so they wanted to make her feel less weird. it was also bc glasses cost 200 bucks. but in 4th grade, i got glasses, cuz i was literally like unable to read a word on the board at school anymore. but even though i had glasses, i like never wore them, bc they were "ugly and inconvienet". but in 6th grade, i got a new pair of glasses, and one day, i just thought: "why don't i wear my glasses? i feel better with them on." so now i wear glasses.
2: ADHD
so in 6th grade, i had a friend. we'll call her Panda. so panda was always reminding me about stuff and telling me to be more organized stuff like that. but the thing was, nothing StUCK. so panda asks me to take a test for ADHD. i get a score of moderate ADHD. i tell my parents. they say: "oh we know about that. you got it from your dad. but it doesn't matter. just ignore it". but if you have ADHD, you will know that THIS DOESNT WORK. and also, there is scientific evidence that asians, especially asian girls, have ADHD just as often as other peple, but their doctors don't take the time to test them. since ADHD usually starts really affecting life in middle school, and most girls start being all silly and giggly at around this age too, most people are just like, oh your a girl. just a girl having girl problems. also, you know how lots asians are like super smart cuz their parents make them do extra hw? for some reason, this means that nobody believes that i have ADHD, just because i am a asian girl. GAH!!!! i mean, its not like so bad i cant live my life, but i get distracted a bunch and it takes me forever to do things.
so there you have it. the 2 sadest things about my life.
