You're Young and No One Listens To You

 We all have those days (and it may still be happening), where people much older than us would not even listen to a thing that we say. We tried to be so respectful, so calm and understanding since, well, they are older and probably stressed from working and talking to people. But, what I want to know is...

What about us? Why are we always not listened to and always ignored, even most of the times shouted at whenever we try to bring up our points. From asking a simple question to explaining your side, those much older than us might rarely, and sometimes never, listen. But, all throughout our childhood and even until we go to college and be an adult, we were always stopped to listen.

They might be like that because the generation before them (our great grandparents and much older than that) also did the same thing to them, and now that they are the older and dominant generation, they feel that they could control those much younger than them. 

Well, I don't want to give them a bad light, but let's just say it might be generations of wrong parenting, poor mental health and high expectations. 

They were teenagers once, children who weren't listened to by those older than them. They should know what we feel and change it. True, true... that might be true. But, listen, they don't have the internet like we do. We have our own cellphones, our own facebook accounts, our own twitter accounts to rant out to. We can communicate with other people that are the same as us, or even a total opposite. We have access to sources of knowledge, to professionals that knows what they are talking about.

They told us that parenting shouldn't be this way at all. But, our parents? This kind of parenting were drilled into them, sometimes, they just copy their own parents because they don't have enough parental love and caring from them. 

Didn't you notice? They're just like us! Some of them hadn't felt any love and care from their parents, while others has too much of it, it was just suffocating.

So, what can we do about this problem? How are we going to get those older than us to listen?

First things first; we should talk to them seriously and calmly. Let them know that there is no room for joking nor is there a room for treating you as their child. Let the two of you talk like you are friends, and let everything you have out. 

If that doesn't work, try asking a professional or someone that you trust to mediate between the two of you or the three of you (depending on how many parental guardians that you have). This one is for those that are desperately in need of help from others. Parents, sometimes, always see us as a little kid. That's not bad, but they also need to realize that we are growing into adults day by day. They need to take us seriously.

Actually, they should have taken us seriously even if were kids.

And the last one: advocacy. Advocate proper and good parenting. Improvement comes from yourself if you want to become a parent (or just a proper human being). People respect each other, regardless of age, race, gender and etc. and respecting someone comes with listening to their voice. 

You're young and no one listens to you; well, it's time to change that! It's time that we improve the future for the best!

Tell some of your stories about this happening to you and share it to us!

Crab Mentality

Have you ever felt like how the world is against you? How everything happening in your life is out to get you? Life is truly unfair, is it not? That is what I am feeling right now, too.

How can other people live and breathe while bringing other people down? Is this their nature? Is this...really what humanity looks like? We always have this mentality that we should be better than everybody else yet, here we are.

Crab Mentality - are you just jealous of what others have that you don't unfortunately have? What this mentality speaks of is the usual response of human whenever someone is better than them, when someone has a better opportunity than them, when someone is far more gifted than they are in a field.

I say that far more gifted in a field because, let's get this straight; everyone is gifted in their own way, some people just doesn't realize it easily or they just turn a blind eye on their own gifts. 

Anyways, speaking back about bringing other people down, I would like to ask people doing this; is this fun? Is doing that fun? Is bringing others down so satisfying that even though you know it is wrong, you still keep on doing it?

I pray, I hope, that one day, those people bringing others down would change. I hope that they would never feel the way their victims felt like when they were bringing them down. I don't if you guys believe in karma, but bad karma comes to those who does bad things to other people, wrong things! I hope those people will open their eyes and realize that there is a huge possibility that the people that you are bringing down...

...is hurting so much more than you can imagine. It hits a lot on the victim's mental health, that there comes a time where they would think of unimaginable things such as, you know... tw//suicide?

Please, please, do not take out your frustrations on other people. Don't bring them down just because you are down yourself. Keep in mind, you just might become the one bringing others down, but you might be a victim also. One way or another, people will feel like the whole world is against them just because of one person.

Please, do not be that person.

Just A Bit of Info!

Just to inform you guys, I will be blogging about random and different things so- there might be some things about BTS, some things about history (I'm a sucker for documentaries for real), some times I write about books, or just recommend some music that I listen to.

I also post my short stories here, might be original, might be fanfictions, it's a whole variety! Anyways, I hope you guys would love it and I will continue doing it (even though I have no readers lololol).

Documentary #1: Agent Orange Victims

It's Sunday and I hope everyone is doing alright! I have been watching documentaries since this morning. I am learning a lot of different things, especially about the Agent Orange victims of Vietnam. If you are not aware of the Orange children, you can watch this documentary about it by SBS Datelina. Here is this link below:

To give you a little bit of detail about it; it is about the lasting effect of the Vietnam war to, not only the War Veterans, but to their children and probably, the next generation as well. You see, amidst the war, US military decided to spread Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide. Its purpose is to kill the trees, plants and etc. so that the US military will know where their enemies are, but instead, it left a devastating effects to everyone.

In the documentary, it shows the children affected by the Agent Orange. They have birth defects resulting from a parent (a war Veteran) inhaling the herbicide. But, it does not only affect war veterans' children but also those who were unfortunate enough to come in contact to this toxic chemical.

The Red Cross estimated on Vietnam 3 million who are affected by this chemical, and 150, 000 of them are all children. How unfortunate that even after the war ended, people can still feel the devastating effect of what it left behind.

In 1971, the use of Agent Orange was banned by the US and all remaining stocks has been destroyed. I hope that the ones affected by this chemical will heal one day, and carry out a normal life.
