Dear everyone who has ever lived, specifically long enough to be allowed to vote:
Please stop telling unhappy teenagers that these are the best years of their lives. Telling someone who is miserable that it will only get worse from here is abusive, cruel, and inexcusable.
If you were going through a bad divorce, the death of a loved one, or some other tough time, and someone told you to suck it up because the rest of your life will be even worse than this, you would never speak to them again, and rightfully so.
So please, don't do this to teenagers. Because I have a feeling this is a big factor in the high teenage suicide rate - these kids have been kept separate from real life, and have no idea that it gets better. And people are telling them it only gets worse.
(Pro tip for teens: It gets better.)
Sincerely,
Me

Thank you. Teen culture is fake and damaging, so I don't know how those years could be the best years. If I had the chance, I would have spent time growing up, not wallowing in adolescence.
