Okay this is going to sound cheesy but I'm a random aunt who stumbled into this teen discussion and I'm so sorry for butting in.
Reading through the comments... honestly they all remind me of my own nieces and nephews. There's a lot of talk about parents here, so I just wanted to share something.
I'm pregnant right now. A tiny life. And I tried SO hard to get here, gave up a lot to get here. Three miscarriages. Three. And I'm not scared, I don't regret any of it, not even a little, because I would give this baby everything I have. I would trade my life for this one.
Carrying a baby to term, just getting a whole human being to exist safely in the world... it's genuinely so hard. So hard. Your parents went through all of that. And then they got you.
That's not a small thing.
You only really understand your mom once you become one yourself, and I feel that so deeply right now. Your parents love you way more than you probably think they do. Way more.
And yeah, it hurts to be angry at them right now. But what actually breaks my heart? Watching my own parents get older. Realizing I'm supposed to protect THEM now. That part. That's the part that really gets me.
Anyway. Sorry for crashing your thread. Carry on.
