consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

Teen: *gets a job*

“I GOT THE JOB!”

Parents: Well, when I was your age, I already had 5 jobs and was supporting my family

Teen: *has a hobby*

“CHECK OUT THIS COOL THING!”

Parents: That’s a ridiculous waste of time, it’s never going to turn into anything profitable, you should be focused on school/SATs/college, when are you going to get serious about your life?

Teen: *Gets into college/university*

“I GOT INTO (College/University)!”

Parents: (after pulling the above nonsense) “See? We, your incredibly Good Parents helped you get into this college! You should be more grateful! :)))))”

Oof

Yes, can we encourage the teenagers please??
