i wish i was born like 2 years earlier, because I could say I've lived through 3 presidencies (soon 4) in the first 14 years of my life

Being older sucks

Getting older comes with so many issues. Such as mental disorders. Teenagers are judgemental and imo quite cruel. Yes, you might be more restricted but holy crap I miss not having to worry about my gpa, or having to worry about what people thought of me. I miss being able to not overthink everything I say. I miss having self-confidence. Yall are lucky. Be happy c:

I never had self confidence, so it can only get better from here

That is very true, it depends on the person, but most often mental illnesses like depression and anxiety are found in teens. According to many studies, fifty percent of mental illness begins by age 14, and three-quarters begins by age 24. (1/2)

Many people can be judgemental, but teenagers are a bit harsher. Instead of just laughing at you, they would say something along the lines of "Oh I bet you don't have those. Self-diagnosed?" with a mocking look. Though again, it really does change person to person (2/2)
