What are your guys’ thoughts on all the teenagers and young kids on here? I’m one of those. I’m sixteen. But I want to know your guys’ thoughts. Do you think they’re stupid or overreacting or something?
I’m 14, man. Sometimes I’ll look back at my old posts and be like, “WTF was I so dramatic for?”
Look, this is a safe place to rant about teenage woes. Sometimes we might overreact, but…come on! We’re hormonal confused little pipsqueaks whose bodies are growing faster than our frontal lobes. Too many hormones.
We’re not stupid. We’re just figuring out the world.
I’m 40 years old and no, I don’t think you are stupid in the least. We are all human and share one thing in common, a lot of pain. Would it surprise you to know I WISH I could go back to being a teenager? Things were a lot more simple at that time- though I was bullied every day of my life. Sounds strange, I know… but if I could go back with the knowledge I have now.. AH!! The time I would have to make things RIGHT. Being a teenager is hell, I know. But you have TIME. So much time to make things better for yourself. It can happen. I am somewhat jealous of your age and potential. I know you have a future that can be better. Being 40, I feel old and wasted, but you have precious time to move on and forward. I don’t know if this helps, but I want you to know I think that you can make it. I don’t know about me… but you have so much time. Don’t waste it like I did.
30+ over here. I don’t think young people here are stupid or overreacting, because even if to older people (count me as one of those) some might seem like “easier” problems to solve, you have to keep in mind that they seem that way from old people’s pov, which young people haven’t got yet. Plus, we are all different, so things that harms us vary a lot, regardless of age (and there are some young people with issues that are honestly heartbreaking, even if you think you have seen it all). At times i honestly believe that people forget what it was like when they were young and lose all their empathy in the process.
Not stupid nor overreacting. 40+ here. everyone’s got their problems. as you grow older, the problem becomes harder, and often impossible to solve. like money, and eventually health. you probably can’t imagine worrying about going to toilet, but for older folks that’s a real hardship. but you also stop worrying about things that used to matter, like what friends say, what to wear, about kids, making more money, staying healthy, and dying. getting older, you don’t see so well anymore, and then you don’t hear so well either. finally you’re brain don’t work like it used to, and one day you just don’t wake up no more. you don’t get infinite amount of time. hard to imagine, I know. in my teens I never could even imagine getting older, seemed like nothing ever changes… I had ambitions, unrealistic ones. now I accept thing as they are, and choose my battle judiciously… just part of growing up I guess. different problems, but people adapt well.
I’m 14
I think I’m overreacting but that’s just me. In my opinion age has nothing to do with anything and those assholes should stop putting it as ‘hormones’ or ‘mood changes’ or whatever and saying its not as important. Who the hell cares where it comes from or why? We feel it either way, and it’s horrible.
Not at all.
Like any other, they experience pain too. Irrespective of age. We shouldn’t disregard their feelings. They’re not any less, and have every right to feel the way they do, so I don’t think it is fair to judge their feelings. There is a fine line between the hormones acting up and depression, nonetheless it is still pain.
I’m 15 and I honestly don’t think it’s stupid. We all have pain. We all want to get rid of it some way or another. We want to feel loved. We want to feel accepted. Here you can talk about your problems and they won’t judge you because they know what it’s like to feel pain; to feel alone in this shitty ass world.
Personally, sometimes I think I don’t have a good enough reason to on here but I still have so much shit to deal with and this place helps me. A LOT. Every day I look forward to reading everyone’s comments. I feel at home here. I feel that I’m a little bit less lonely.
I’m a precocious 3 year old. (I just stopped wearing diapers a few weeks ago). Learning to walk was hard, typing is even harder. I haven’t mastered the English language yet.
I miss breast feeding. My parents force me to watch cartoons but I’d rather watch the news. They dress me up in silly outfits.
Being 3 is tough. These are my dark years.
I hope to be a pro skateboarder someday, I don’t wanna waste my youth on a suicide site.
As a fifteen year old I have a fear of me feeling the way I do makes me just a stupid hormonal teenage who is an attention seeker. I used to have a friend who was an attention seeker and she acted depressed but when we gave her advice she made excuses not to listen to us or get up. Because of that we grew apart. I don’t want to end up like that. I don’t want to end up losing my friends because they think I am too dramatic or something like that.
I don’t think it is stupid for us young people to be searching for help on this website. Personally I think 14+ are the ages where you aren’t a child anymore. This is the beginning of the “young adult” stage in life. People think we may be immature, over reacting, dramatic, attention seekers or whatever other crap they can come up with. The truth is, those people will never understand what we are going through, therefore they are just stupid idiots who need to shut their faces. 🙂

Well I’m 10 years old. But I feel smart enough to understand pain

I think all of the young people are young, and probably people, not robots.
