Oh, this sounds horribly familiar. I moved from Brunei to Perth when I was eleven and had no idea about anything. I didn't even know what swearing was, other than it was extremely bad (and figured that if it was that bad, I would know it when I saw it, so I didn't ask any clarifying questions when being warned about swearing).
Yup! Grew up in the same (immigrant) family! Violence in tv was bad but not as bad as a kiss 🤣 Also, the Titanjc craze was real, I was a freshman in HS and it was everywhere.
South Asian parents will deny to their kids anything to do with what created those kids in the first place. Leaves us with such broken and dysfunctional view of physical intimacy. Fun read!
