I’m a foreign student in Singapore. I’m going to start poly soon as a recent secondary school graduate. I have a complicated problem.
One small mistake made a big problem. I’m supposed to read an automatic message by ICA about a medical report of me that got sent late at night and I didn’t check my notifications the next morning (today) so because I read it late, me and my parents didn’t got enough time to book a clinical appointment. Around the time I realised this mistake, my dad was working so it’s just me and my mom at home.
My mom scolded me so badly that even though I swear not to cry because of something stupid again I cried in front of her, and that was more stupid. I wished for two things; either ICA sends a message during the day or I should check a message sooner next time.
She scolded me so badly she compares me to the junior girl I’ve been tutoring for the past few weeks. She scolded me so badly she calls me “not smart” and “useless”.
My life feels like a hell at this point when she scolded me non stop. Any more delay would mean I’m overstaying, and its because of me and my carelessness.
(Edit: She just walked in and said she wasn’t trying to scold me. What kind of "non-scolding” with a loud voice that shouts insults makes people cry?)
