Mattay the reason so many people on here dislike you is because most of the time you talk complete crap and you criticize someone else because you cannot understand it. Some of your comments would baffle the interpreter onboard the USS Enterprise, and I don't mean the one that is floating around on the ocean.

You haven't even managed to quote the original question properly

Yeah, a link would be good.

 

And, I wouldn't totally trust those stats - I'd guess there are many other countries where women are treated as absolute rubbish, where their suicide rate would be higher... and not so coincidentally, where the reporting rate would be much lower!

 

As for why here? Like in many countries, when the older generation has extremely high expectations of the younger generation, and the younger generation wants thins quite different, I could see a lot of troubled people in the world.. and here, women do actually have less social freedoms than in other places. So, the pressure to conform (and the tearing that results from personal desires to the fullfillment of family 'needs') would be huge!

 

After all - you only tend to hear the words "I'm a traditional Chinese" from girls, not from guys!

Many women are faced with pressures to be married and are not, mostly women over 30.  Not all women are not treated that well here, beatings etc. Of the women I do know well here, a few always have bruises on them. My GFs ex-boyfriend beat her.

Poverty, lets face so many people are poor here. My dog has a better dog house than many people in China live in.

Pressure, depression all build up, hopelessness.

There is little help for mental problems here, it is looked down on,There are no shelters for battered women, no one will stop a husband from beating his wife in the street.

If it was easier for them to get a visa, I'd start a Chinese rescue service, I'd take all  the suicidal (most of which have met matt) women home. I'm sure I could cheer them up.We have therapy/ shelters at home.

mattaya:

I don't think somebody would want to go home with you in a therapy session afterall you did say you would take those girls bras off with your tongue....ill disgusting....and if you ever went to school you would know that the Democratic republic of Kongo is worst.

Just because the Congo, not Kongo, is worse in your eyes than China you seem to assume that excuses the behavior of all Chinese people. You are typical of the ignorant third world mentality that exists in some people here. It is people like you that holds China back and you are too stupid to even realize why that might be. How about trying to make China as good as some  of the best nations instead of just being please that there is at least one who is worse.

if all chinese women dated a foreigner just once in their life i guarantee that suicides amongst women would drop drastically.  I'm a firm believer that good sex plays a more important role in peoples lives than we realize. especially for women. women's bodies are more hormonal that men. orgasms release chemicals and hormones into our bodies and we have yet to fully understand the effect. chinese men routinely do not bring women to orgasm , chinese men are probably the worse men in the world when it comes to sex and on top of it they restrict the sexual freedom and education of women. this is not a coincidence.

 

addnote: we have no clue as to what the real suicide rates are in china. 1. those types of numbers are considered state secrets. 2. chinese mentality: if the numbers look too high, change them. 3. if anyone read the article about the young girl that had 13 knife wounds but was ruled a suicide. (i do not know if they were stab marks or cuts. she may have been a cutter) but many murders are classified as suicides and many suicides are classified as accidents.

I think it has to do with nonsexual aspects of the gender roles. Chinese have a very rigid and traditional attitude toward relationships. People get married too quickly and there are too many loveless marriages. Chinese need to learn to wait, and learn to fool around a bit. I don't know exactly why, but Chinese are desperate when it comes to relationships. People don't move on, and they don't depend on each other as much as they should. Dating is just too formal and too much about impressing each other.

One problem is certainly the question of sexual abuse. It happens here as it does anywhere else, but victims of sexual abuse are looked down on and thought dirty, as horrendous as that may sound. There are also no sources of counseling available to such victims and so they are left with their pain bottled up inside them, ashamed to speak out about it, and with no course of relief it undoubtedly gets the better of many people. This is an area where the Chinese have much to learn from western cultures.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
