Open letter to media reveals harm controlling parents can do children
A UNIVERSITY psychology researcher in Beijing released an open letter to the media, in which he attributed the psychological disorder he has suffered since childhood to his parents, who he has not spoken to for 12 years. Southern Metropolis Daily comments:
It is the straight-A students who fall prey to mental problems associated with overly controlling parenting more often than the backward students.
The man, in his 30s, is a straight-A student, who graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree in biology and who studied for a master's degree in psychology at a university in the United States. Yet despite his excellent academic record, he lacks the basic ability to take care of himself, and could not even peel an egg until middle school, which made him a laughing stock among his peers.
