I went to a psychiatrist twice in my life and at that time I was not alright. I am doing a lot better now. Upon mentioning that, I must raise a common matter in teens. We, as teens are neither children nor adults we are in between but some of us mature faster and have different views on life and earth and a lot of things. But that maturity is not normal, I for one felt it was my responsibility to grow up faster and take care of my brother who is older but he acts like a kindergartener. one of us had to be the mature and responsible one so I took up the role.
Some teens that mature too fast, have their reasons. Reasons like they were forced because someone had to pull the weight, they were hurt mentally and decided to not let it happen again, they probably felt like it needed to happen and they wanted to help their family, guardian or parent, and maybe the last reason is the stress and expectations from adults and elders. When this happens, they miss their childhood... and you don't just become a child again, no. You lose all that time after you turn 18, which is the age of a young adult altho it's spelt eighteen.
But truthfully, we are not to blame the parents. Altho they were teens once, they are protective of their child, and sometimes that protectiveness can get out of control. *speaking from experience* parents get confused on how to deal with a lot of things, especially single parents. my mom is a single mother and I can speak about how proud she makes me. She does so much for her children, me and my brother, and we have so much fun sometimes.
An explanation is that when a woman raises a boy, she was never a man, so how would she know how to deal with so many things and when she raises a daughter she might know everything but the little one will miss the chance at the love of her biological father, miss the chance at normal family life and all the other things she can't do without her dad. Same with a man, when he raises a daughter, he knows nothing and altho he knows for a son, he will not have the mental love of a mother. Tho another adult may step up alongside your parent, there will always be an emptiness. I miss my dad all the time but I still love my mom.
One last thing before I'm done, let your parent know you're here to help them. Go easy on them and try explaining your feelings and thoughts on matters. be conciderate and altho someone might get you mad, explain to them that they aren't the only ones allowed with an opinion. be respectful when saying it tho because respect is earned not given
