I can't seem to get a translation that makes sense

If I had to take a guess...this is my interpretation:

"If you are not being supported, you must take a walk" ???

Hi sheri,

I guess this sentence lacks a subject before 不被 and an object after 走到. Anyway, this structure is basically the same as ～越不被看好越要走到～ (the more ～, the more ～). "看好" means "support, consider promising".

it may also refer to children being more neglected as a consequence of modern lifestyles. Changye is right, a subject would help. This sentence could be used to describe many situations and various observations, 把孩子看好了，take good care of my child, or the kids. kan1 look after, take care of. keep an eye on.

I'm a chinese person. it means "you should do better when others don't value your opinion "

I don't know where you got this sentence, but we don't say it like this.

看好 means "value one's opinion or choice"

That makes sense. It could be 做到 (zuo dao), but not 走到 (zou dao).

我还是不明白，女友也是中国人却没听说过这样的说法。不想分析太多了，怕我会晕。最后一次试一下弄个意思, 然后就算了live according to your own views and not those of others.
