Hey Pandas, What’s Something Your Parents Don’t Or Didn’t Understand About Being A Teenager?

Or being a kid. Just generally.

That I would like to be alone sometimes. Like I would love to be alone in my room jamming to my music. Or gosh, even just cleaning and jamming alone. Also working by myself! I am horrible when it comes to working with people l. I'm very independent, and I love it but hate it because others just don't understand.

That sometimes I just want ONE DAY without siblings. I'm the oldest of four boys, and being the oldest means you are ALWAYS the most targeted. They always try to purposely annoy you, they never ever listen to you, and they're just the plain old worst part of my day most times. My parents are always like, "They look up to you," and "You need to be nicer to your brothers," and all the other sh*t. I just want one day, ONE DAY, without even SEEING my brothers.

They don't understand that just talking to people won't cure my social anxiety. I've been told that I should just go out and get over it. Even though it sometimes looks like it's nonexistent, it is still a problem for me.

I can be sick and still use my phone/Xbox. What else would I do? I have a cold, it's not like I'm dying in a hospital. I'm still sick but I can use my electronics anyway. :/

Social media, parents if you ask them will always say no. Even though you typically know everything (sex, different parts, rude humor, etc) they still don’t let you. Like this if you agree.

That just because someone " loves" me, that doesn't give them the right to practically mentally abusing me, and that I'm not wrong in wanting to distance from them. My mom just cant see how horrible my aunt really is

YES OMG I tried to be like "I might be bi" when I was 9 and my mom said I won't feel that way until I'm 12 and I was just doing it for attention ofc. I told her again "im a lesbian" when I turned 12 and she would still ask me if I had a boyfriend. Tf?

My mom didn't understand most businesses won't hire teens under 16 and that a teenager is not a "little adult" that doesn't need to be parented, cared for and loved.

That I just want to be without my sister sometimes, and that Mom doesn't see her at her most annoying. And for some reason, she thinks that moving not only school's, but moving to a new town in a new state in highschool is going to be "fun".

And I would clean more, sometimes I just feel emotionally unavailable.

Yeah I know you weren’t 100 pounds until high school and I know you didn’t get your period until freshman year, but that’s because your family was broke and couldn’t afford lots of healthy food and your parents didn’t get you junk food.

So please, stop judging my weight and the fact that I hit puberty earlier just because I was able to have 3 meals a day of heathy food. You married a rich guy, of course your kids will be better off and not malnutritioned.

"AlL InTeRNet Is BaD." Like yes, the internet can be toxic, but it's also a way to destress yourself. As long as you aren't toxic and hate on others, the internet can be great for everyone.

Not my parents but older relatives. Especially the ones I haven't see in a long time. They be like "oMg ur growing to become such a beautiful young woman. Do you have a boyfriend yet?". Every time without fail that question comes up within the first like 25 min of the conversation.
