Dear Parents,

Society

Do you understand the feeling of how life is now, for us? No, Because you haven't lived in it. You haven't seen the way people get treated in the halls of the place you expect us to go and feel safe. You haven't seen the way some people cry themselves to sleep. The only way you will understand our shoes is if your listen to me. People in our lives have suffered in their own aura, their own safe space, because all our safe space is irrelevant, its all gone. No one can go back home after a horrible day at school and their life givers understand. No! Because you had a horrible day at work, or it's not actually life yet for me so it's meaningless. People may not understand the ways we feel about everything because you childhood was perfect and all you ever did was go have fun and enjoy yourself outside with a stick. No one ever gives time to think, huh... I wonder how school is now? How the kids treat others? How tests have been? How my kid has been? But no, you barely do because somethings always wrong with me. It's never your fault by the way I feel excluded, or alone. Just because you ask how our day has been doesn't mean you care, we are a lot smarter than you think we are and we know when you care. How could we get you to just listen, and understand, not correct or manipulate? The ways you guys make us feel along with all the other things happening in the world right now, have been horrible. Friends and allies have been suffering for so long and they just couldn't take it anymore... People our age has probably tried everything to just put an end to our pain, even if that means putting an end to ourselves. Even if its cutting from our wrist then moving to our thighs, or even smoking the pain away.  Nothing seems to work anymore so they just end it all, all of the sorrow, pain, disappointment within ourselves. People may never understand this feeling. But the most you can do is actually care and do something about it before it's too late.
