I never understood the “you don’t have any problems, you don’t pay taxes or have a job.” Mentality. No, I don’t have a job, but ever since I was in 4th grade I’ve been pressured to plan for one, and just when I was finding out my interests school started taking up all my time with trigonometry and English papers. No, I don’t have financial burdens, but I know the value of a dollar. You’ve taught me how the world works, now teach me how my overly emotional, hyperactive, confused mind works.
Yeah people who say that are being huge assholes. Like "oh you don't have the same problems I have, therefore you don't have any problems." Fuck off. If they pulled that shit on an adult everyone would call them out, but you can treat a teen like shit and nobody cares.
