childhood was just a long series of adults being like "don't judge a book by its cover!" and "treat others the way you want to be treated!" and then turning around and making the wildest snap judgments about people based on TINY amounts of information and expecting you to agree

#just remembered when i was like 12 and i was with a friend and her grandma #and i mentioned another friend and how she was already counting the days until she could go to college #and my friend's grandma was like 'well she sounds like a spoiled brat' and i was like UM?? HELLO??#like slow your roll granny you have not even MET this girl #you know a grand total of one thing about her #and like?? for all she knew my friend's parents could've been abusive or something??#they weren't to be clear. my friend just really wanted to skip to adulthood.#which is like. a normal ass thing for a 12 year old to want?? to be independent and grown up??#also being 12 - 17 sucks of course everyone looks forward to what comes after #this was nearly 15 years ago and i am still lowkey mad about how quickly my friend's grandma (who was otherwise a nice woman)#just immediately decided my friend was ungrateful and spoiled #AGAIN. HAD NOT EVEN MET HER.
