TRIGGER WARNING.
Sorry, but I just had to vent it out.

Telling someone that they are stupid, unimportant, worthless, a waste of space, an idiot, dumb, etc., is immature and may cause depression, mild or strong. Speaking from a daughter's point of view, I find it immature for parents to call their kids with nicknames as such. It may seem like something some parents usually do nowadays, but I believe it is not something you should look over.

I, for one, have experienced physical, emotional, and mental abuse from my parents and suffered from a case of mild depression during my elementary days. It wasn't the kind of depression that was obvious, but rather, you would only be aware of it if you were with me twenty four-seven. In fact, no more than three of my close friends knew.

To be honest, I wouldn't have written this blog post if it wasn't for this great amount of anger inside me as of the moment. Admittedly, I became a tad bit more cold and, according to my mom, nonchalant. Although this may seem like a typical teenager-phase thing, I deny speculations like such and have then realized that it was the result of all the hurt I've been through as a child(which is a different-and more personal-story). Now, I speak in behalf of all the others who have experienced a similar childhood and life like I have. I just really couldn't keep myself from keeping my mouth shut and fingers twitching, I yearned for something I can do to release the wave of emotions.

Ironically, I've never been hurt by words until now. In fact, I teared up in school, in front of my friends and if you were my friends IRL, you would surely know that I don't do that kind of thing. I don't know what happened, really. It was probably the effect of the bottled up feelings. It really is a bad idea to keep your emotions to yourself 'cause it causes things like that.

Point in case, I just wonder how parents manage to keep their expectations that their children would do exactly what they want them to do(for example, gain the first honorary position in school) by doing it in a way where they unintentionally, or maybe even intentionally, lower the child's self-esteem? Is it like, a thing? Getting your child in a level of depression? Paki-explain, labyu. :P -_-

P.S.
Sorry my first blog post has to be like this. I just-- OTL
