Pilk@aussie.zone 1 week agoControversial take, but I hold so much space for kids in that age range. Being a teen/tween fucking sucks. School (feels at the time like it) sucks. Puberty sucks. Bullying sucks. Coming from a poor family or shitty home dynamic sucks. Not sleeping properly and getting up early for public transport to school sucks.
So, fuck yeah, do your TikTok dances, listen to music on speakerphone, drink your huge Slurpee, and take up a seat instead of giving it up to an adult that has probably sat on a wheelie chair all day. Just do your best.

I do agree with this, the world is shit and the kids will cop the brunt of it when we’re dead. I love their silly trends and dances tbh. Have fun in the dark world.
I think it’s a me problem 100%. On some level possibly resentful(?) because they’re generally in groups of friends, which I lacked. But it’s not their fault, and I know better than to lose my shit when I realise my feelings are my own, and that I’m just making generalisations about persons I don’t know.

Hopefully I didn’t come across as invalidating how you feel! I think it has taken work on my side to think this way.
