Hey guys! I’m going to start a blog series called Asian Upbringing to share my personal experiences growing up in an Asian household as an Asian American that I hope will be relatable to many of you out there. After having a difficult time dealing with my parents over the course of my life and seeing similar experiences elsewhere on the internet, I wanted to start this to provide a place that can help others feel that they are not alone. There will be many parts to this series and I will try my best to recap and link back

Living in America, I find myself having two identities, navigating through them both day in and day out, but never truly fitting into either.

From one Vietnamese American’s perspective. What does it mean to be Asian American? I think being Asian American means always being in a state of constant identity limbo. Living in America, I find myself having two identities, navigating through them both day in and day out, but never truly fitting into either. Speaking from only my experience and of those around me, as a person of Asian descent, specifically of Vietnamese descent, there are times when I feel I am not completely accepted within my community. Factors such as language barrier, not knowing the full history of my motherland, and

I realized now that it was easier to love my American identity growing up because I live here and am immersed in it. However, to fall in love with my Vietnamese/Asian identity, I had to actively yearn, learn, wrestle, and independently be curious about it.

Disclaimer: These are my personal experiences growing up. I know there are Asian American women who have completely different experiences than me and may not agree with anything that I say below. However, to dismiss it is offensive to me because these problems exist in my life even if they have not happened to or affected you personally. I know there will be someone out there who would be able to identify with some of the experiences I have been through though and this post is for them and to open a discussion I don't see anywhere else on the

Comparison and competition leads us to this final killer: a lack of compassion, specifically a lack of compassion among each other in the Asian American community. Everyone is worried about themselves, no one has time to even be bothered about other people’s problems which when combined with feelings of self-doubt, unworthiness, loneliness, and the stress and need for success, all this can lead to some horrible repercussions. Yes, I will say it: mental disorders and flirting with the idea of committing suicide.

You have East Asians, South Asians, and Pacific Islander Asians. Despite the vast spectrum of skin colors, languages, cultures, clothing, and food, there are 3 things that are slowly and silently killing the youth from these communities. Those are: comparison, competition,

We as Asian Americans are called out when we speak up. It needs to stop here and this is why I brought up this conversation. I am not like the generation before me who stayed silent for the sake of keeping peace or for fear of stirring controversy or causing trouble. Again, this is why I take pride in my duo identity.

Since I am a Vietnamese American and have struggled with my identity as I have grown up, I thought it would be the best topic to start my blog with. What does it mean to be American? I am honestly curious how different people from different ethnic backgrounds answer that question with our common connection as American citizens. There was this Psychology teacher at my high school (who I never had) and he said something to his class (God knows if it was every year!) that I overheard from friends and family that has haunted me all these years. He
