Just a stupid teen
Um hi
I'm currently 16 years old. My mother is a single parent I lost my father when I was 10. I have two younger siblings a sister almost 14 yrs old and a 10 yr old brother. Since my father left me I have been very depressed, he was very dear to me. I loved him so much he wasn't a very caring and loving father but still I loved him so much more than my mother who have done everything for me. Those days were nightmare for us especially for me and my mom. She used to cry miserably and seeing her crying like that used to break my heart into pieces. But i couldn't cry, I just couldn't make her more sad. Every night she would cry after making sure we slept. But i didn't, I used to fake my sleep. I used to see her crying daily. I used to cry too a lot but silently and she never knew that. Then wake up and smile at her. Idk if I'm good at hiding or she just couldn't see it. But my life took a turn in lockdown and it was much worse. Due to being stuck in four walls we were all frustrated about it after all we were just children and even my mum was bcz of handling us three. My sister was way too much mischievous she would literally damage things for fun and then my mum would get worked up and scold her badly shout at her and sometimes beat her a lil like a slap same for my brother sometimes. She used to get mad at everything like everything I understand her own mental health wasn't stable on top of that she was incharge of financial things which is very stressful. But she can't just let out her whole anger on us especially on me. She taunts me scolds upon everything I do or say. And my sister is so selfish I can’t with her. She is so much addicted to phone and tv that if she doesn't get it she wouldn't even let us eat or sleep in peace. She says so many hurtful words when she is angry to mumma that she doesn't love her and care for her at all etc etc. Though mum has taken care of her the most. This all stresses mum a lot she cries a lot and then her health gets bad so much. Which stresses me I get so mad about it. Bcz of these things I hate her so much. And on top of all my stress 3 yrs ago I found out my mum has a bf. One time i saw them kissing and that's when i found out that. I was so traumatized by it that I couldn't sleep for nights I couldn't believe my eyes like my mom??? I couldn't even confront her I didn't have the courage And No I'm not being selfish but she herself said that she doesn't want anyone in her life other than us but still I'd be happy she is happy but the thing is that the man is married and has two children.I finally confronted her last yr bit didn't tell her i jnow everything i just said i don't like you being close with him and she said okay I won't talk to him and he won't come to our house but she still talks to him he still comes at our house. She still goes on date with him she thinks idk or I don't notice but I do. Though he is sweet and caring but that doesn't change my perspective. Admist all this my health and study both has gotten worse. I'm no longer the cheerful and energetic girl instead now I have severe headache body pain low concentration very anxious. And study? Too bad idk if I'll even pass this year or not.

First of all, I just want to say i see you. I hear you. And I want you to know that everything you’re feeling is completely valid. You’ve been carrying so much on your shoulders at such a young age, and that in itself shows how incredibly strong you are. But I also want you to know that you don’t have to carry it all alone.
Losing a parent is one of the hardest things anyone can go through, and the way you had to bottle up your grief just to protect your mother it breaks my heart. No child should have to do that. You loved your father, and it doesn’t matter if he wasn’t perfect. Love doesn’t work like that. And I know that kind of love doesn’t just go away, no matter how much time passes.
It sounds like your mother has been struggling too, in her own way. It’s not fair that her pain has spilled onto you, that her stress has made you feel unseen and unheard. And your sister’s behavior, your brother’s struggles, your mom’s choices none of these things should have been yours to fix. You’ve been forced to grow up way too fast, and I’m so sorry for that.
I can hear the exhaustion in your words. The weight of everything has been crushing you, and now it’s affecting your health, your studies, your ability to just be okay. That’s not something you should ignore. You deserve care. You deserve peace. And even if it doesn’t feel like it right now, you deserve a future that isn’t just about survival, but about actual happiness.
So please, if nothing else, take this in: **You matter.** Your pain is real. Your exhaustion is real. And you don’t have to do this alone. If there’s anyone you trust an adult, a friend, a teacher please consider reaching out. Not because you’re weak, but because even the strongest people need support.
And as for your studies, I know it feels impossible right now, but don’t give up on yourself. Even if you take it one step at a time, one small effort a day it’s still progress. You are not a failure. You are someone who has been through unimaginable stress and is still standing. That’s something to be proud of.
I know I can’t change your situation, but I just need you to know that you are not alone. And no matter how heavy things feel right now, **this is not the end of your story.** Keep holding on. You are worth it.
I actually feel so weak rn like everything around me is shattering and I can't do anything about it.
Yes he was my first love my super hero. And he still will be. Always
Yeah I understand her struggles and pain and I try to do my best to not make her worry about me atleast. I don't want to be a burden on her. I had to grow up....
I'm trying to cope up with everything but it's just so hard rn. I hope i do that in future.
I don't have anyone like that rn.
Thank you so much.. your words really made me feel better ð¥¹â¨ï¸
