hartex92 There exist such familes that have a long line of generation and follow the tradition that formed since the old times. Most (if not all) of them are high-class, well-known names in the society, a lot of reputation, power and such, thus they're strict about keeping their face and their standing. There are not many of these families, even fewer in the modern era as we have broader common senses.
Here in Asia, the "SotF" mindset is more common. Your parents, teachers, seniors, etc.. mostly people from older generations. Not outright forcing the children to confront each other, but pressing them to MUST be better than anyone else. The parents would even compare their own children to one another; their OWN brothers and sisters. If you can not do any better (even when you reached your limit), you will be pressured to be at even more non-sensible levels of expectation.
Things haved changed a lot over the last decades, but the mindset is still there. It is fucking exhausting.
