Therapy showed me that if someone never cares how they hurt me , it doesn’t matter if they swear up and down they love me, they don’t, if they loved me they’d stop hurting me, they’d check up on me. They wouldn’t keep spitting poison just because they know I’ll take it. They wouldn’t keep accusing me of things knowing my anxiety is already off the charts because of their gaslighting,they wouldn’t make me cry and say “just get a therapist it’s not my problem “.
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
Stop teaching children that there is only one person out there meant for them. Let it be easier for people to let their toxic relationships go without fear of losing “The One”.
Its so fucked up and weird that we don’t tell people that there will be multiple important people in their lives
full offense!!! but people scream about wanting complex characters with complex histories and motives and then when a blue moon writer Finally delivers, they can’t handle them and start hot black & white morality discourse over them.
The youngest generation in the U.S. is entering adulthood as the country’s most racially and ethnically diverse generation and is on its way to becoming the best educated generation yet, according to a Pew Research Center report released Thursday.
While there is no agreement so far on what to call these young people born after 1996 — some say Generation Z, others iGen — researchers say there are demographic trends that separate them from millennials, who were once also heralded for their broad racial and ethnic makeup.
The researchers analyzed post-millennials who are currently between the ages of 6 and 21. They found nearly half — 48 percent — are from communities of color.
A “bare majority,” the report notes, of 52 percent are non-Hispanic white, compared to 61 percent of millennials in 2002 when they were in the same age range.
“There’s much more Hispanic and Asian presence among the nation’s children and youth today,” says Richard Fry, a senior research at Pew who co-authored the report with Kim Parker.
They were part of a team that analyzed data from the Census Bureau to produce Pew’s first-ever report focused on the post-millennial generation.
