Ngl, this post really doesn't send a good message. Is it true for some people? Probably
But my parents pushed me into 3 days of tafe, 2 days of uni, and 2 days of work a week when I was younger. It caused me to crash and burn

I had to move away from that mindset, and something like this really wouldn't have helped
