Why do parents get so defensive when you say "I've been feeling overwhelmed lately"?

I know I don't have a job, I know I don't have a kid, I know I don't have to worry about bills. But that doesn't mean that my feelings are less, this is the most school I've ever had to do and it's only going to get harder, I can't hang out with my friends because their busy, and you invalidate my feelings by listing all your responsibilities you have, and because I am getting older I do have more responsibilities then I ever have before.

Your "lecture" to "help me" is just making me bottle up my feelings and not tell you anything.

When the boys in my class insist that communism wasn't that bad, so I have to hold back the urge to pull out my country's news so they can watch it relapse back into communism barely 35 years after defeating it. How people's rights are stripped away, how the government tries to silence them. How the beginning of the revolution looks like, how the anger of a nation looks. So they can see the horrors of watching the police side with who puts money in their pockets, and how the good are painted as bad and the bad as good. But that would be too political for class, and I'd get kicked out, so I just have to sit and hold back the words stuck in my throat and look at them with disgust being fully aware that their east european ass would rather close it's eyes at the pain of another country.

So, what say you sign me up for your world tour? Anywhere's good!

Happy birthday mah gurl <3
