Children who feel they cannot engage their parents emotionally often try to strengthen their connection by playing whatever roles they believe their parents want them to. Although this may win them some fleeting approval, it doesn’t yield genuine emotional closeness. Emotionally disconnected parents don’t suddenly develop a capacity for empathy just because a child does something to please them.
People who lacked emotional engagement in childhood, men and women alike, often can’t believe that someone would want to have a relationship with them just because of who they are. They believe that if they want closeness, they must play a role that always puts the other person first.
— Lindsay C. Gibbon, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents (2015)

This is hella important
people got so hung up on 'LET GIRLS EMPOWER THEMSELVES' and sex positivity and personal 'choices' that when it comes to 15 year old characters in a show wearing sexualized outfits they're like 'she CHOSE to wear that! it's her choice!' as if
a) they're not real fucking people, an author chose that. that authors the one who looked at a 15 year old character and went 'its ok for me to dress this child skimpy because of plot that I created'
b) 15 year old girls in real LIFE shouldn't be wearing minimal clothing and if you think society has literally no effect or harm on young teenagers like...bro. idk what to tell you. 15 year olds 'choices' to wear purposefully sexual clothing shouldn't be met with 'YAS QUEEN you have your own life' and with 'are you okay? this isn't appropriate, you're still a child.'

The vet said that they don't have worms and they don't know whats wrong with them, but gave them medicine just in case.
(they had been throwing up so he gave them anti nausea, and for them not eating he gave them some pills ((appetite inducers or something)))
