“We’re all tired, and we need sleep, and we need help, and we need friends. “

What’s something you wish adults understood about kids today? That’s a creative question… I just wish — ’cause I feel like some — a lot of adults don’t really understand what kids are really going through. Because, like, 100% of middle school kids are going through something hard right now, and, just, 24/7. And I feel like a lot of times adults can be like, focused on themselves or focused on other adults or just like, a little like, “How was your day, kid?” But they don’t really — a lot of them don’t really investigate, you know? Like I feel like they need to — or like you need to be able to tell if someone’s wrong — doing something wrong, like being sad or not talking or, like — a lot of — a big deal — it really bugs me when people are like shaking their leg of anxiety. Because, like, I feel for them and I know what it’s like. Or like, staring off in the distance. Like, all middle schoolers do that. We’re all tired, and we need sleep, and we need help, and we need friends. So, if any teachers see anyone, just out of — especially out of it, whatever day. Not in it. Being goofy. Just — or even, like, crying. Like, actually, please do something.
