Teenager: Mom?
Mother: Yes?
Teenager: I've been pretty down lately. Do you think I could have someone to talk to, like I mean a therapist or something?
Mother: Oh but it's nothing too bad is it? Kids don't get down. They don't understand how stressful being an adult is.

Teenager: Momma I've been feeling really suicidal lately. I honestly barely have the motivation to do much anymore. I really fucking need help.
Mother: If you're lively enough to cuss at me you're lively enough to go and do the rest of your homework. We'll talk about this later. I also want to talk about your grades. You have no reason to be getting marks like that, and I'm not taking your excuses anymore.

Don't be that parent. The one who ignores their kid until it's too late. It really hurts to be dismissed. If your kid asks for help try to support them in anyway you can.
Hope this short writeup thought you something. What's the lesson you learnt? Tell me about it in the comment section
