I forbid you to show off your grades online, but I still can't stand it.

(Dan Tri) - Holding her child's report card, even though she remembered her child had asked her "not to show it off", Ms. Lam still couldn't stop taking pictures and uploading them to Facebook to show off right away.

Mom shows off her grades, gets a reaction from her child

As soon as her child got her final grade for the school year, Ms. Hoang Ngoc Lam, in Phu Nhuan, Ho Chi Minh City, immediately joined the wave of showing off her child's grades online that has exploded in recent days.

This year, Ms. Lam's 7th grade daughter is one of the 4 best students in the class, so when she got the results, she was even more excited.

She immediately took a photo of her child's report card and certificate, adjusted the color, cropped it closer to make it clearer, and posted it on Facebook with the caption: "I have a child who has never made me upset or disappointed."

The end of the school year is the season when parents are busy showing off their children's grades on social media (Screenshot).

For her, showing off her child's grades is not just a joy, but also a pride in her child's good study habits, the effort she has put into shaping and training her child to study well since childhood.

Every time she adds a like or a heart or a comment praising her child "so good" to a post, Ms. Lam's brain feels like it's being stimulated with a feeling of euphoria and happiness.

However, Ms. Lam revealed that showing off her child's scores online is not just for fun, she also has to face pressure... from her own child.

Last year, when her daughter saw her mother often showing off her grades online, she expressed her displeasure and made a suggestion: “I forbid you from posting my grades online. Show off whatever you want, but don’t show off mine, I don’t like it.”

At that time, Ms. Lam replied to her child: "I know!" and also reminded herself to stop the habit of showing off her child's scores and achievements on social networks.

However, at the end of this school year, when holding her child’s academic results, Ms. Lam… could not help but show off her daughter’s grades. When her daughter discovered that she had “broken her promise”, she screamed, demanding that her mother delete the work and not talk to her for the past few days.

Stop bragging about your grades when you know your child's secret.

Ms. Tran Ngoc Thuy, in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City frankly said that since her child started school, showing off her child's grades twice a year has been her joy in the middle and at the end of the school year.

No matter how many scores, compliments, rankings, and certificates of her child, when she holds them in her hand, she immediately shows them off and cannot stop. Many times she reminds herself to stop showing off her child's scores, but she cannot do it.

However, for the past two years, Ms. Thuy has completely stopped showing off her children's scores online.

She said that in 6th grade, her child was one of the best students in the class. She happily took a picture of the report card to “show off”, but her child asked her not to post it online or tell anyone.

After she asked, my son revealed that he got a high score in one subject because the friend next to him… helped him with the homework. When he got a high score, he felt embarrassed, unhappy, and didn't want anyone to know.

Through her child's experience, Ms. Thuy realized that sometimes parents simply see their child's high scores and show them off for joy without understanding the feelings behind those scores.

There is a case of my child's friend, who absolutely does not let his parents show off his grades online or in real life. Because for him, he got high grades because he had to take extra classes with the teacher in class, so he is not really confident with his grades.

In another situation, Ms. Truong Ngoc Nga, in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, stopped showing off her child's scores online when her child achieved high scores to enter a top specialized school last year.

While she was happily showing off her child's results online and everywhere, her child burst into tears and said to her mother: "Mom, please stop bragging. My friend Ngan and many other friends of mine failed!"

Looking at her child's tears, Ms. Nga felt sad and realized that she had been careless and indifferent when showing off her scores. As for the children, they know how to share and sympathize when looking at their friends.

She understands that parents showing off their children's scores online when they achieve high results may be purely for personal enjoyment. However, parents have violated their children's privacy and may unintentionally bring sadness to other families and children.

She reminded herself that as parents, we need to practice breathing in and out when our children get low scores. It's not just about staying calm when our children get low scores, but also knowing how to control ourselves when they get high scores.
