Hey Pandas, What Is Something You Wish Your Parents Knew? (Closed)

That it's not just a phase.

I wish they could at least ✨try✨ to understand what makes me sad/angry insted of saying I'm over-reacting. Maybe I am, but you're not even trying to look deeper, to ask "why".

that its ok to be trans

-That crying isn't a sign of weakness
-Not everything bad is cause of my phone
-Mental health disorders aren't just fictional concepts
-That not everything is a phase
-That saying "It will all be okay" does not make it okay
-That I actually did try
-That- and be ready for this- IM NOT AN EMOTIONLESS ROBOT!!!!

That I can hear them when they're not talking to me and I can can hear them misgendering and deadnaming me without a second thought. No f*****g wonder you're having trouble with my pronouns, you aren't even trying

I wish they realized I had autism earlier, I wouldn't have to go through my kid, preteens, and half my teen years suffering.

Also wished that they realize that some people just aren't religious (still a minor so I'm still being forced to go to church) . I tell them oh I don't believe in that and then they ask "wElL wHaT dO yOu BeLiEvE iN tHeN!?" I understand them asking once, maybe twice, but they do it everytime!!!!!!!!

I am not my sister

That I am an adult who has raised a child of my own and that what I do in my personal life is not their business.

That when I say I'm tired, I'm not tired, I'm depressed.

That I can have emotions and that being moody and snarky is completely normal for teens and that I’m not the most disrespectful child ever

That being hit nearly every day, always screamed at, always blamed for things I didnt do, always put last, told repeatedly I was a bad kid and deserved to get hit, told I can't go out with friends cause they assumed I'd be a sl**, laughing at me for having depression and liking "emo bands", having privacy stripped away from me (stepmom would unlock bathroom and bedroom door when I was changing or taking a shower), having objects smashed into my face like laptops and hot pizza, isolating me to make me take care of my half siblings all day, told things like I should just kill myself, calling me horrible names, and constantly told my feelings dont matter really messed me up and still hurts today. I still get nightmares.

Also, stepmom claiming shes never hit anyone and that shes always been nice makes me angry. Both claim they were good parents who did no wrong and I deserved everything. She also now claims her and I are close when I dont feel like we are. The scars still remain . The hurt is still there. The damage isnt healed. I wish my dad and stepmom realised how much they hurt me. But I just smile and act like it's fine

That I don’t want to become a doctor.

That just because I’m a teenager doesn’t mean you can laugh at me and tell your friends about what I said bc that’s embarrassing. Also, yelling at me when I make a mistake doesn’t make me do it less, it just makes me want to hide my mistakes from you.

They would be happier without each other...

How to use birth control. I am number 8 of 9 kids.

I hate being the one who initiates conversation. I prefer someone else telling me something, or asking me a question. From there, I'll be more comfortable opening up.

That saying you love me but don't "love my lifestyle" means that you hate the queerness of my gender and sexual identity. Both are inherently true at the same time; stop letting the catholic church tell you how to love your queer child!

This has been going on now for 22 years since I came out.

I wish my parents knew I was supposed to be a trust fund baby before they had me. But they didnt.
