I got lunch with my uncle and my neice, who Fifteen(tm) and i was like How Are You?
And she was just like "school sucks, my mom sucks, being fifteen sucks, i just want to grow up"
and so me, a wise and wisened newly fresh thirty year old just replied "yeah it does fucken suck!"
And when i tell you the air physically lightened up and she laughed so hard! And she told me more about why it all sucks and how she feels like no one listened to her, and they tell her to just do it, just get it done, and this girl is tired! She has so much homework and she feels like shes not smart because shes inundated with homework and school and she feels like the people in her life are not hearing her!
Just agree with people when they say something sucks for them! Offer a little sympathy, have some empathy. It does fucking suck being Fifteen.
