People's "get off the internet" advisory would be funny if it weren't sad.
#It was genuinely my only option as a child & I doubt most chronically online children can be reasoned with like that#so idk why people try. My bedroom was like a prison cell; there was Nothing#I wasn't allowed to have Anything#He flipped the fuck out if I had friends#I couldn't play outside#I couldn't even read books past a point because there were too many words and I was too concussed#And I had 0 support for help#Nobody SHOWED me how to spend my time#Many grand ideas about what I Should have been doing#But all the adults in my life were either distant or always online or watching TV#or going out without us so#Seeing people respond to anon children on Tumblr with shit like 'log off go outside and play with your friends'#feels like a gross misunderstanding of how a lot of too-young end up here#It's not random chance! They usually lack options!#I'm well aware my childhood was unusually bad but christ alive...#If you wanna give children advisory they'll actually take why not be fucking realistic about it?#Why tell them to do something they won't do and pat yourself on the back about it as if any would listen?
