You're just a stupid kid, you can't do it correctly.

Will you teach me?

You can't rely on adults to do everything for you.


You're grown up enough to tell someone if you're struggling.

I'm struggling.

Struggling with what? You don't have bills to pay, you don't have a real job.


Let me know if I'm asking too much of you.

You're asking too much of me.

You're just lazy, your generation doesn't want to work.


I'm here for you, you can tell me anything.

I'm not doing well.

It's just teenage angst. You'll grow out of it, I did.


You have to trust me.

You haven't done anything to earn my trust.

You're a child and I'm an adult, I don't need to earn it.


Why are you acting like this?

I'm just following your example.

I can't believe how ungrateful you are.


I love you.

I know.

I gave up everything for you and you can't even say it back?


You need to think about your future.

I'll be fine as long as I don't end up like you.
