Yes, but sometimes, the immigrant generation is so strict on their children that they end up doing something stupid (like the kid from BC...don't forget that they were going to press charges on him) to achieve what they want. Real life isn't always a happy ending like immigrant movies such as
Bend it Like Beckham or
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
