The Teenager Mind

chapter 20

So.....

School.....

HIGH school......

It's not that bad actually.

I thought it was going to be a lot worse.

Then again, I realize that any school could be worst if you just made it worse by yourself.

If you didn't do the homework, if you didn't get along with the teachers, if you got into fights with everyone, that school will become your enemy. In high school the teachers talk to us about that. they literally talked to us about that. they don't fully understand, but they understand enough!

that we teens go through stuff and that, they actually here to help! they also want to make the year fun! And that they also don't like school! Sure there's still some strict teachers out there that do understand but don't like to talk and just focus on school, there at  least not my teachers!

So far they are really fun. Like I said, they can turn not fun if I decided to break the rules, like I did today......

It's the fourth day of school and it decided not to go. My stomach wasn't feeling well. Later the day, my friend with gender dysphoria cut her hair really really short. her parents flipped on her. Her parents got mad at how she looked and how she wanted to tell the world on who she is just because that's her parents opinion.

She told me that she was sad, she told me she wanted to kill herself, she had stress. A couple days earlier, I was at my friend's birthday party. after the birthday party, she had to go to her mother's house. She didn't want to. she didn't like how her mother treated her or just being with her. She told this to her mother and her mother shot her right down.

Her mother shut her mouth up and made her go with her.

On the same day earlier, my mom did the same thing.

A little different scenario, but she shut me up and made me listen to her. I finally saw the pattern.

Parents don't get us.

I got so stressed over it that I threw up. I told my mom that I was sick.

Just simple as that.

I stayed home from school.
I'm not actually sick.
It's the stress if you don't see it.

I want to talk to someone. but if I just told my friends, their stress and anxiety and depression would also build up. And like I said in the book, I got into a lot of arguments because of that...

that would also be helping no one.

I decided I was going to confront my mother.

So I wrote a paragraph about it.

I promise I'm going to release it in the next chapter just because it's a really long one. Any parents who are reading the story, which I don't understand why or how. Love and appreciate your child, no matter who they are.

If you just do that. It will make them happy. no fighting or no sadness or- none of that would happen! sure some conflicts would rise but it'll be easily taken care of...

All just because you let your child be who they are.
