I would call my parents. I would usually call my sister but
most of the time she doesn’t pick up her phone. Although it is a moment of
crisis I would have to depend more on my parents to pick up their phone because
they always keep their phone with them. I would tell them the situation and ask
if they have time or if they could get someone close by to come get me. Most of
the time my parents don’t ask me why I was stuck in an area in the first place
which makes it easier for me to relax. I’m always ready to answer them and give
them my reasons when they ask but they usually don’t ask me which means they’re
not mad at me. If the phone call has to do with me being in trouble, I would
still have to call my parents first and explain them what I did and why I did
it. I would hope they understand why I did what I did and most of the time that
is the case. But if they think that the situation was out of hand they would
lecture me about it at home and I would usually understand them and keep their
words in mind to prevent myself from disappointing them.
Yeah Asian parents are pretty strict and I understand the dire consequences that come forth when getting in trouble. That's why I don't get to drive my Scion tC anymore but it makes me happy that my gas tank isn't empty half the time I am driving near the end of the week. That one phone call to my parents always stresses me out even if they don't try to contact me but the last person that I would ever call are my siblings. Exactly like your sister, my brother doesn't answer his phone half the time and when he does, its always about something he wants to do. Having a phone is a burden and yet it is also a reward. Hopefully you won't get in as much trouble as I have this semester.
ReplyDeleteI think calling your parents in a time of crisis is the best thing you could do. Their Older and wiser and know what to do in just about any situation. Because a lot of the time, they've been through the same thing. And if they haven't, they know someone who has. Even if you might get in a little trouble.. its still better to get the best help and get in a little trouble, than to get bad help, that isn't much help at all, and fall farther into a bad situation.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteI would agree that calling your parents is the best thing to do if they are more consistent with answering their phones. I know that if I were to call one of my parents to come get me they would hound me with questions and want all the details. There would be no time for me to relax, my nerves would be on edge. If only my parents were calm and collected like yours then would I ever call them for help during a major crisis. That's why I depend more on my brother for help because all he asks for is the basics and what he can do to help.
