If you look at the Facebook pages of Cambodian girls, you will see some who say they are sad. Some also post pictures of girls crying.





Some also post pictures of slashed wrists, and a girl with a noose who could hang herself.

In some cases, the girls may be being light hearted, or they may be concerned about something which is not really very serious.

I recently dropped in on a family I had met in the past. I said, how are you? The daughter said in English, I am not happy. Then she said, my family doesn't love me. (Her family cannot understand English, and don't know what she said.) My first impression was, she is probably a bit immature, and overreacting to something which is not a big deal. A little while later, her older sister told me, with her listening, that she was lazy. Later on, her mother said, with her listening, they are poor, and don't have enough money to look after this daughter. She could have said, they don't have enough money for everything they want. But this daughter was the problem. To me that is sad. That was only in the short time I was there. I don't know what else have they said?

What is the real problem? It is partly the difficulty in making money in Cambodia. It is partly the fact that many Cambodians work enough to get enough money to live, they lie around doing nothing the rest of the time. It is partly because the father does some work, but not a lot.

If a job came up in a factory, she would probably be rushed off to work there.

If someone came along and said they wanted to marry her, she would probably say yes, how quick can we do it?

On the rare occasions that I might see her, I will try to encourage her.

She is too poor to have a phone or Facebook account.

You also realize some of the simpler Cambodians are not very smart at handling real life situations. In this case, I am thinking of her mother and sister.

I think you missed out on the the desire to play ‘drama queen’. Fueled by Facebook and Khmer / Thai television soaps.

I agree. With some girls, it is a manipulative game.

I agree, that with many girls it can be a chance, with encouragement from friends and family it can concern an outsider enough to get them easy money.

What's the point of your post?

Seeking attention.
Women’s tears are water. Meaning they are worth exactly that.

The point of my post! Not to offend you firstly, but seeing what it mainly could be in this case, and that seems it is of attention seeking, for gain. The OP seems too once again (like in his recent posts) concern for the Eastern European girl, wanting to help many a young female. His he working for an NGO organisation, or registered charity. I would be very weary in this kind of help situation, not wanting to see of someone genuine in the news thread on this forum for the wrong reason.

I believe this is an accurate picture of the op

The fun part is going along the muddy tracks in the villages with the wheelchair. Then of course, stopping along the way to recharge the batteries.

I can post ridiculous things too.
