Sorry But Cancelling A Genuinely Good Show About Overcoming Grief Starring A Girl Of Color Played By

I need to rant, feel free to ignore.

Ok so

Every year I go to camp

I have been going for 4-5 years but last year due to COVID the session got canceled.

This was devastating to me because this camp is my second home, it brings me the most joy a location can.

I was absolutely stoked that I would be able to go this summer with some adjustments for COVID.

Until I found out that this’ll be the last summer.

My camp is part of this bigger organization that does a lot for its communities since it’s start but has been really going through it over the span of COVID and because they simply can’t afford to function with all of there locations, there closing most of them, including my camp.

This is my last summer.

I’ll never get to be a LIT.

I’ll never get to finish raggers.

I’ll never get to see my counselors again.

The turmoil this brings me isn’t something I like to show, but I need to get it all out.

I’m sorry.

Hopefully this tip can really help someone, please take this advice or suggest to friends and family if you feel it could really assist them

Day 2? Something that makes me happy?

Happy?

Well I’ve mentioned this before but the happiest place for me on earth is the camp I go to each summer. And though that camp is closing this summer, it will always be my 2nd home.

The memories will bring me joy, the hikes, the kayaking, the swimming, the games and the nights in front of the fire, and amazing never ending love and family.

That’s the thing that makes me happy.

i don’t think we acknowledge enough that when children want to be treated “like adults” what they really mean is “like people”

this is just my own observations of course but 90% of the time when a kid tries to get people to treat them like an adult, what they really want is the respect and acknowledgement that they associate with adulthood - because that’s what they must give the adults. they have to give that to the adults in their lives, but the adults never give that same respect back, and so they see that difference and decide that they want to be treated “like an adult”

and sometimes i see parents who are like fine you want to be treated like an adult then you can work and pay rent but that’s the exact OPPOSITE of what the kid is actually asking for. you’re just belittling them, clearly intending to punish them for daring ask for your respect, clearly intending for them to break down and beg to be “treated like a child” again because you purposefully twisted their wants. they ask for respect, and you give them abuse.

never, ever, ever, treat a child like a full grown adult. it’s our responsibility as adults NOT to, because they ARENT adults no matter how much they think they want to be, and it’s our job as adults to take care of them.

that said, ALWAYS treat children like people. because they ARE that. they’re real people with real agency acting as best as they know to with what knowledge they have

it’s not a matter of kids trying to grow up too fast, it’s a matter of kids wanting to be treated like people instead of objects or pets.

Please help a black teen get out of their abusive home

tw: abuse, abusive home

“I go by Ana, I’m a black teen (I’m 19) and I want to leave my home since I’ve been abused mentally my whole life, a few weeks ago I was hit by my dad for the first time while he was enraged and under the influence of alcohol. My face is now scarred, I wasn’t even able to cure myself properly, my mom just gave me some bandaids and sent me to my room. I’ve been unable to scape since curfew it’s strict at night and it’s the only hours I’m able to leave the house so they won’t notice.”

So I only got diagnosed last week right? I’ve been in pain for years but I never had a name for it that explained the extreme it would go to.

Well today I was walking around with some of my friends getting ready for the show we are putting on and I open the door for them and right after they walk in my hip shoots pain and I hit the deck, unable to get up because of pain.

I don’t know wtf happened, but my hip has hurt ever since regardless of position, sitting, standing, laying

So the prop department is lending me a cane, but can anyone tell me what could possibly have happened?

hello! just a lil smth, please don’t scroll!

I was having such a good morning.

I was volunteering at my favorite place to volunteer, cheering people on at a 1k and 5k for the holidays (for the holidays) and I was on my feet for three hours straight and I was okay.

But when they brought the volunteers back to home base, I stepped of them golf cart and my ankle shot pain up my leg.

God dammit.

So now I’m sitting in the ground waiting for my ride and trying not to aggravate my ankle anymore.

Saw an extremely good sign on the bus today
