#I still see this condescending bullshit adtessed to younger people almost daily and it makes me want to scream over it

I need all the adults to stop scaring kids and teenagers telling about how miserable their life will get as they get older

STOP

Bullied kid from elementary school doesn't need to hear that school will get harder

Middle schooler who's signed up to way too many activities doesn't need to hear that there'll be even less time left in the future

High-school student doesn't need to feel like their life will literally end if they don't succeed academically.

They don't need to hear your condescending tone about how life is about to get harder for them. You're scaring the living shit out of them and they literally loose their hope for better future. Do you think it's funny? Don't you remember the depth of the despair you were absolutely capable to feel as a teenager or even as a little kid?

No one who's struggling needs to hear the word of wisdom about them having it easy, and you're an absolute piece of shit if you keep doing it thinking it's funny.

#every time I was told about things getting worse the fear I felt about it was much worse than the actual reality when it was due #and when I was at the absolute lowest point of my school years I literally wanted to kms whenever someone promise me a life of misery ahead #I still see this condescending bullshit adtessed to younger people almost daily and it makes me want to scream over it #this “oh honey thimgs will get muuuch harder you're having it easy” shut up shut up shut up #you can't possibly know if they are indeed having it easy #and even if they are this claim is usually made in response to someone who TRUSTS YOU complaining about something difficult in their life #even if for you their problems are nothing you're a shit friend and shitty person if your first reaction is to invalidate them
