Some can get away with it, some can’t. I don’t think it’s about being a chicken, sometimes it’s about being torn between what you want and how that will make your family feel. Some could also be afraid for a reason. One of my Arab friends had a reallllyyyyy strict father, she would tell us stories, it was scary. So in her case, no she couldn’t just follow her dreams. She was too afraid.
How about you? How was it for you PCG? What are the main restrictions?
