y& #39;know it wasn& #39;t until i started watching tiktoks that it really sank in that other people have more money than me
like i always knew that other kids had more money than me (which I thought was just because my parents are divorced) but I& #39;m really just now processing the fact that y& #39;all either have a lot of money or really lax parents
like my friends are out here having outfits that represent various aesthetics meanwhile I& #39;m like. $10 graphic tee i got on wish, 4 year old pair of sweatpants, a jacket to tie around my waist to hide the fact that all of my clothes are too small, and shoes from costco clearance
like y& #39;all just ask your parents for things?????? and they do it?????? they just fuckin buy you shit whenever you get an A- in geography??????
not trying to discredit my parents because they& #39;re great and they bought me tickets to musicals and stuff but some of y& #39;all have REALLY lenient parents... some of y& #39;all have never been grounded for a week for coming across as sarcastic and it shows
but I& #39;m seeing these tiktok gays with fuckin mood lighting in their bedrooms and expensive furniture and I& #39;m like. my dad& #39;s house hasn& #39;t had air conditioning in five years
and when I talk about my parents people are always like "that& #39;s abusive" and I& #39;m like no??? they just have standards that i have to meet and don& #39;t reward mediocrity??? they& #39;re literally just being good parents who want me to do well in life??? are y& #39;all okay
like as someone who experienced actual abuse it& #39;s always so funny when people say im being abused when I say that they got mad that my English mark is only 89%. like ur talking to the person whose mom& #39;s ex threw forks at her while screaming death threats and calling me the f slur
like just sayin some of y& #39;all need more bad shit to happen in your life. it builds character. especially the rich kids in my class like y& #39;all need some good ole fashioned trauma
will never forget in grade 7 when i was talking to this one person and they were like "oh yeah my ex-stepdad tried to kill my mom and i once" and i was like SOLIDARITY and that& #39;s how we became friends
this thread escalated quickly so I& #39;m gonna stop it here before it goes completely off the rails, stan sunnee
