Health, Mental health, Family and Teenagers: We feel for you, bruh

We feel for you, bruh

By Anonymous - 22/01/2021 00:31 - India - Bangalore

Today, I realised that I wasted my teenage life just to be a parent pleaser. I'm in the final months of high school and while everyone is enjoying the last days, I'm sat here being a "good" son, listening to my parents argue, maybe divorcing. I'm in tears and can't go out as I'm not invited to anything anymore. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML

Welcome to the rest of your life

Today, my parents used to tell that me life gets way better after high school. Yeah, for everyone else at my school. They’re partying it up in college or travelling during gap years, meeting all sorts of people. I have to work more than full time because my parents kicked me out the week after I graduated. FML

Today, I haven’t relaxed since I was 12. If I was making good grades, doing extracurriculars, instead of allowing me to go out, my parents would accuse me of doing something bad and ground me. In college I burned out due to poor social development. Even though I have a job, I'm still a “bum.” FML

Mind of my own

Today, despite the fact that I'm 20 years-old, my parents never allow me to go out and have fun with my friends, under the pretext that I'm a girl. I'm stuck at house all year long, I only go out to the college they forced me to study at, and they decide everything about me. I’m tired. FML

I want to break free

By Anonymous - 02/09/2022 19:30 - India - Delhi

Today, I realised that I still don't know what to do with my life, since my parents have taken decisions for me my entire life, and are forcing me to a field of study which requires enormous amount of dedication and years, which I have no interest in, but still have to do because I don't know what else to do.

Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML

Today, I've reached the age as a sexless loser where my family no longer tells me to find a "single lady" but rather a "single mother". Thanks for reminding me everyone else had fun in their twenties. FML

Today, after two weeks of trying to convince my parents to go to my high school graduation. They finally gave in. After they handed me my diploma, they decided to leave because it was "too boring." I'm currently sitting on the curb of the street waiting for my Uber, while people take pictures of me. FML

Ouroboros

By History Repeating - 11/12/2023 15:00 - Switzerland

Today, I realized am THAT parent: I put a lot of pressure on my 8 year-old (!) daughter, because I hope she succeeds professionally and will have the self-confidence I lack. Why do I rather stay at home and lack self-confidence? Because my own mother put me under so much pressure and drowned me in her expectations. FML

I can understand how you feel, but there's so much more to the picture. You can have some great memories from high school, but when you go off to college you will be building into the person YOU want to be! You are still young, so strive for what you want and you can have a lot of fun along the way.

Careful, careful. Don't make their tragedy all about you. You haven't wasted anything. You'll be glad later to know and understand so many essential things about people.

It’s definitely not a waste to learn your subjects and do well in school. It is a waste to coast through school and wind up unprepared for college or a job or career. Your more social schoolmates will be the ones who wasted their time in high school. School is preparing for the future. Don’t prepare and you have a poor future.

Dude, high school is the time when you build yourself into who you want to be, and college is the time when you go clubbing with your friends, dressed as an anime schoolgirl. You're doing it the right way!

It's alright OP, you're still young (and a teenager!) 18-24 seem to be the best years anyway, don't fret over 14-18.

Listen, man- I am sorry for your parents. But as far as your life, you have your whole life ahead of you. Inspiration is never too late. Go enjoy life to your own specifications

I wish I had just focused on school more instead of chasing a boyfriend who didn't give a crap about me lol, I legit didn't even go to collage because I was afraid he would cheat on me when I was away 🙃 finish school and then go make the life YOU want, and become the person you want to be :) and im sorry about your parents, mind got divorced when I was around 18 and it sucked.
