dear parents, your children are depressed

a thread;
you should know
it ain& #39;t easy to live in today& #39;s society, especially for teens
we& #39;re stressed in school, we get bullied, we lose friends, and suffer from heartbreak
and by heartbreak, i& #39;m talking about breakups
but let& #39;s talk about the first people who broke your children& #39;s heart, and that& #39;s you, the parents
you& #39;ve been children before so you should know how it feels when parents do and say hurtful things, but why do you still hurt us?
you keep comparing us to our siblings and other parent& #39;s children

"you should be more like them?

"why aren& #39;t you more like them?

i& #39;m sorry because i& #39;m only me. don& #39;t force me to be someone i& #39;m not. why can& #39;t you appreciate me for who i am and not for you wou want me to be?
i also find it toxic and manipulative when you tell us about your sacrifices and how hard it is a parent

thank you for everything you& #39;ve done for us but please stop this toxicity. you& #39;re making us feel like a burden, like a waste of hard work and money
i hate it when parents support their children financially and say that they give them "everything."

hate to break it to you but money isn& #39;t everything, feeding your children isn& #39;t everything, paying for their school fees isn& #39;t everything, giving them shelter isn& #39;t everything
supporting your children financially isn& #39;t the only way to support them
another thing i hate is when parents get angry at their crying child to stop them from crying

"you& #39;re crying just because of that?"

"stop crying or i& #39;ll give you something to cry about!"
seriously, if you think getting angry at a crying child will make them stop, your the one& #39;s that need to go to school not your children
you always get angry when we& #39;re on our phones, sometimes you even confiscate them without knowing what we& #39;re using the phone for

we could be talking to a friend, studying, or just using it to forget about stress and have fun
your children might now even be happy inside the family so they rely on games, social media, and friends to find the happiness they are looking for
these are just a few toxic things parents do that makes their children depressed
i& #39;m sure you get the point
parents should be a source of comfort, a cause of happiness but some of you just bring us depression
i& #39;m sorry for generalizing the thread title. i& #39;m not saying all parents are like this, because there are some amazing parents out there
and for those who say that we wouldn& #39;t be here without our parent& #39;s, they are also the reason why we don& #39;t wanna be here anymore
