Imagine you like the colour red. Or green. Or yellow. Or multiple of these. But you have to, for five to six days a week, from the age of six to eighteen, paint in the colour blue. Then on one of those days off, days where you don't have to paint with the colour blue, you go to meet with your family. They want to know about what you paint. But all they ask about is blue blue blue always blue. And then when you try to talk about red or green you most of the time get "oh thats nice" then back to blue, or you are just straight up told that no one cares about red and green and you need to shut up about them.

Are teens really anti-social and non-conversational and stuck on their phones or are you just trying to form a conversation while asking them about stuff like their school curriculum (a tedious repetitive thing they at best suffer and at worst suffer from) while dissmissing them whenever they attempt to talk about their interests?

In the car with my momma,

And I was talking about how school was stressful and how the only thing I kiss about public school ( middle school) was cheer, band, academics, and my glee club. I was being honest and open because it was just me and her in the car, but I mentioned how the older generations and mostly the adults had kind of destroyed the economy for the teenagers and young adults.... oh boy let me tell you she switched up here attitude real quick.. I said “ the government is getting so bad the teenagers are having to defend themselves and try to go to school and survive while ALSO working to keep themselves together “ and my mom said “ it isn’t our fault the world is failing! It’s the younger generations being lazy!! And anxiety and mental health is no excuse !” And I was so shocked because I ( having Stress, anxiety, depression, and a whole lot of problems) am her daughter with all these problems going on in my body and her father having PTSD and dementia and she goes and says mental problems are “excuses”?? Now I’m walking through a store typing this and I’ve never been so upset and angry at the fact my mother, SOMEONE WHO WAS ONCE A TEENAGER, goes and says school isn’t the problem and half the teen population is over dramatic and self diagnosing mental/physical problems when me and countless people I know have begged for therapist and doctors appointments but won’t get it because we’ve “ not had a abusive, traumatizing, or damaging” childhood. Like because I was brought up in church and so were a few of my friends we aren’t allowed to have therapy because “ we weren’t physically abused” yet they yell at us and have emotionally scared us so bad I’ve completely shut down my personality and I feel so worthless sometimes because they don’t treat my siblings lile that! Ok so yelling at the oldest is how to make them do things? That’s what my siblings do because they see my parents acting like that. Threatening to rid of their animals or special things that make them happy when they stand up for themselves? Ok my friends younger brother literally tried to kill her dog because she wouldn’t make him cookies.

My point being: Adults, parents, or anyone that is an influence(r) does have a impact on the way the younger generations are going to treat the generation that is now teenagers or young people in their 20’s. STOP EMOTIONALLY ABUSING YOUR KIDS ESPECIALLY INFRONT OF YOUNGER KIDS IT ONLY MAKES THEM THINK ITS OKAY TO DO SO TO OLDER GENERATIONS! STOP TELLING YOUR KIDS THAT THEY DONT NEED HELP JUST BECAUSE THEY WERENT PHYSICALLY ABUSED/TRAUMATIZED AS A CHILD! STOP NOT LETTING THEM HAVE HELP BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE NEED IT !!!!! AND FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE STOP FORCING RELIGION DOWN OUR THROATS!! WERE MORE LIKELY TO BELIEVE AND FALL ITNO CHURCH IF YOU DONT FORCE IT DOWN OUR THROATS AND TELL US THAT WERE EVIL IF WE DONT GO!!! LIKE JUST PLEASE LET US HAVE OUR VOICES BACK AND LET US SAVE THE WORLD WE HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING!!!

And to all the adults out there: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF WHEN YOU WERE TEENAGERS YOU COULDNT STAND UP FOR YOUR BELIEFS OR STAND UP FOR YOURSELF? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE TOLD YOU WERE INSIGNIFICANT?? DIDNT MOST OF YOU SAY YOU WOULD MAKE THE WORLD A BETTWR PLACE AND LET YOUR TEENS VOICE(S) BE HEARD?!? What happened to that??
