ok yeah the fact that symptoms of mental illness (bad hygine, unlivably messy bedrooms, irregular sleep schedules, constant fatigue, lack of motivation, etc) are associated with teenagers so strongly they’re stereotypes is actually really scary

no one cares about mentally ill teenagers

mental illness and the resulting misery is just a part of growing up

ALSO theres the “"teenage angst”“ thing and also the rebellious teenager

the teen angst is legit symptoms of mental illness like why are u normalizing ppl saying they want to die

and the teen rebel is them trying to have some independence for themselves, or realizing theyve been abused and standing up to their abusers

honestly this shit needs to stop

i think you’re missing the point that parents would rather say “lol teens will be teens” than admit that they’re not doing a great job and that their kid is suffering from probably multiple mental health conditions that could be vastly helped with support and kindness instead of just brushing it under the carpet.
