My parents gave me this same treatment, and it has affected me right to this point of my life. I'm extremely awkward, socially. It's so hard to deal with.

You are probably an introvert, and maybe a science/medical/engineering courses that did not leave room to socialize. Go out of your way and out of your shell if you try, you'll get better over time.

Robert kiyosaki was like that, so he had to take up salesman job to boost himself. Today he is a successful motivational speaker for a living

Next time, you should avoid the emboldened when making your sentence. It makes your grammatical syntax awkward.

Edited: Sometimes, these mistakes shape us to become better people.
Nobody knows it all. You also made a mistake. You should have said “It makes your grammar syntactically awkward”

University.

It’s a waste of time!
no wonder you make silly comments here

You won't say this If you didn't just pass through the university but excelled

You might have dropped out of school

Next time face your books

Studying Botany

Lol .. I won laugh die. Why would u study botany as a man in Nigeria. I won laugh die.

Years back... I wanted to major in Marine Engineering because I had a zeal for it. After writing jamb.. I pass jamb then I do not meet up post utme cut off. They always gv me stupid courses. I did watch all my set go into Uniben... Uniport.. Delsu. Landmark.. Futo... It was not funny oh. Everyone at home then looked at me like a failure. All my friends with the Estate were in school. Reading funny funny courses because they didn't want to stay at home.

I had to settle with Mechanical Engineering.

No, it is not valued in Nigeria except for few that studied engineering or IT courses. Also, only few countries in the world recognize HND or even equate it to BSc. Here in Germany, it is seen as a craftsmanship or apprentice qualification and can only be used to gain admission into a Bachelors degree program. Bsc is Bsc worldwide.
wow, thanks for the clarification

Let's discuss as a family, those mistakes you made which you later regret and you wouldn't want your children to make.

Mine was going to the university without learning a skill and solely hoping to land a good paying job with the certificate after school. When "Nigeria" dawned on me, I realized I made a mistake by not fortifying myself with skills while going to school.

My children will not make such a mistake. If God approves, they will go into sports and entertainment from tender age.

Let's learn from each other.

Children are not clays that you can mould to any shape you want, they are humans.

The only thing you can do is to sponsor their education or skills,nature which is the best teacher will do the rest.

Your time and that of your children is quite different, you will be surprised that they will not follow the path that you want them to follow.you just have to guide and pray for them.

I strongly disagree with you. Tell a 2yr old black is white until he turns 18. He will go into the world calling white black.

Why do you think religious fanatics target young ones and brainwash them to become their loyal fighters.

You can mould a child into whom you want to become. The westerners are aware of these that is why they are bringing their rainbow people nonsense to kids. Not allowing parents determine the gender of their children.

You mean delinquent? Well to answer you. Most pastors are too hard with their discipline. They enforce the Christianity and not teach it to their children. Many Pastors who are parents frown at their children having male friends talkless of dating. That is why once their daughters enter Uni they will cut chain

If you disagree with me; how many Islamic cleric children do you behave as such?

Mind you I am a Christian.

Listening to everyone except my heart.

You must not give a damn about what anyone says, including me your father, if your heart is telling you something different.

When you become successful following your heart, everyone who would have derailed you would still congratulate you, and if you fail following other people's advice, you bear the brunt alone!.

If you like my child, ignore this advice.

Very apt. Since my Dad made a decision for me to study Mech Eng in school and stopped sponsoring , I vow to never to allow ANYONE make decision for me .

I was overweight.

Obesity in childhood persists into adulthood with attendant cardiovascular/metabolic disorders and cancers.

I don't want that for them.
