    THE TIGER PARENTS | The Obsessive Pursuit of Success | A Tale of Control, Rebellion, and Betrayal.

    Jennifer Pan, raised by strict "tiger parents" obsessed with her success, faced immense pressure to excel academically and conform to their expectations. Despite early achievements in piano and figure skating, the pressure mounted as she progressed through school. Fearing her parents' disapproval, Jennifer resorted to forging report cards and lying about her academic performance.

    Her controlled upbringing led her to rebel by secretly dating and lying about her whereabouts. Eventually, she concocted a plan to have her parents killed, believing it would grant her freedom to be with her boyfriend and inherit their wealth. However, her plan went awry, resulting in the murder of her mother and severe injuries to her father.

    Despite initially fabricating a story of a home invasion, Jennifer confessed to hiring hitmen but claimed she intended to have herself killed. However, evidence contradicted her account, leading to her conviction, along with her boyfriend and the hitmen, for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.

    Jennifer's trial revealed the complexities of her troubled upbringing, her desperation to break free from her parents' control, and the tragic consequences of her actions. Ultimately, she was sentenced to life in prison, leaving behind a shattered family and a father grappling with the loss of his wife and daughter's betrayal.
