No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not asian or bullying, but "I'm glad my mom died" by Jennette McCurdy is really strong. A mother living her own dreams through her daughters acting career, alternating between extreme emotional states. I thinks its writtem very well and describes her struggles getting out of the pressure by her mother and out of her own behavior pattterns learned since early childhood.
Though I cannot say, if this can be used as a guide. From what I remember the key learnings maybe would be: Get out, suround yourself with better people and get therapy. Though I might misrepresent the book with that
The Glass Castle is good
Only similar I've read is David Goggins-can't hurt me
Vincent Van Gogh, Hong Sung Dam (Korean Minjing Artist; I'm not sure if he endured a hard life himself, but he did make artworks depicting the emotional turmoil Korean people endured due to oppression, dictatorship, and unfair human rights. Look up artworks: 10:20am April, 2024 (2016), Sound of the Last Breathing (2016), and Night Shift)
Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs.
What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo
This one checks all your boxes. Except for maybe the bullying in school? I canβt remember if that was a theme or not. Fantastic read, though.
Greenlights - Matthew McConaughey
Miyazaki maybe?
Most violent serial killers. Ed Kemper, Ed Gein, Joseph Kallinger, Fred and Rose West, Aileen Wuornos to name a few.
Edit: I just saw the East Asian part. Sorry.
I hope you missed that part too
I want to use these as a sort of "guide" to navigate life.
