I'm sure this is coming from a place of American privilege and Japanese kids prolly learn about nuclear devastation around the same age if not younger but. My first grade teacher reading Sadako to the class definitely Left Its Mark on me. Like it's an important story don't get me wrong and I don't have a "think of the children!" mentality and I'm not saying the book should be banned or anything. And my teacher prolly thought she was doing a good job of explain the A-bomb as gently and bite-sized as possible to a bunch of six- and seven-year-olds and it prolly worked on all my other classmates because literally none of them acted like me after but she Did Not Anticipate having a student who was rapidly developing "early onset" bipolar disorder and. Uh.

#early onset bipolar lol okay keep telling yourself that adults #I'm willing to bet a LOT of bipolars started developing it at a very young age it's just the adults never paid/pay attention to kids #and the mental health of children goes largely ignored until they're old/big enough to make it a problem for said adults #i literally told my mom when i was 4 that i heard voices whispering in my ears but i couldn't make out what they were saying #she then told me it was my guardian angel whispering how she'd always protect me and that was that #she told me as an adult it was because she didn't want me to be scared #and then did nothing about the fact that her 4 year old was hallucinating. great job A+ parents 👍#anyway #so yeah cue nightmares of the world blowing up in a mushroom cloud at age 6 #god help me once i got old enough to figure out how to use the internet and Google #because then i got to obsessively look up stuff about the atom bomb and its ensuing horror and oh fun they came out with a hydrogen bomb too #sigh #nuclear war #sadako and the thousand paper cranes #bipolar disorder
