I know that at 13, of course, you're not gona be grounded
But at 13, you are also old enough to listen to other people's opinions about your personal view.
If you want to view it as being mean, then do so, i dont care.
Its my opinion after all
I think japan is wonderful but right now, i dont have time to dream, i have to work. And from experiance, dreams are not entirely like that, amd i'm just trying to keep her from being dropped from a great height that she has elevated herself too.

My God, have you all forgotten what it is to be 13? Notice she hasn't been back since? I wouldn't come back either.
No, it is not our responsiblity to crush the dreams of someone who is still growing up and is years away from any serious job-related decision-making in her life. And by the time she is that old, who knows, maybe Japanese publishers WILL be looking for talented foreign artists for manga.

life doesn't work like that, and at 13, they should try to learn to accept that fact.

That's not what she said she said "could" not "must", and at 13 I don't think you should try to learn to accept that fact.
