You still haven’t answered the questions about how a teenager is like weight loss. ---

You’re basically increasing your world awareness and trying to get used to new social norms. As a kid of course you’re used to being careless and hoping just to explore some basic interests. it really goes without saying. because I mean you’re now aware of yourself. :dubious: ---

I don’t see any similarity there at all to weight loss. I agree that being a kid is different than being a teenager. ---

Your world will change, so you’ll have no choice but to adapt. You’ll eventually graduate, have to live on your own, pay your own bills, find a job, find transportation, and provide for yourself. When that happens, you’ll be reminiscing about the happier times when you didn’t have to make life-changing decisions. It’s something we all go through. Just wait your turn. ---

I think your explanations of so many things on this board seem like they make sense to you, and in your head you think you’ve answered the question, but you’re leaving out important information (or maybe parts of sentences?).

Pretend you don’t think you answered this before, and start over: _How is being a teenager like weight loss?_ I don’t understand how it doesn’t make sense Because both require great effort As you grow up, you have to get used to new life changing situations and new social pressures, norms and ideas, and you also have to stress about financial and school situations. Losing weight requires great amount of exercise and diet and of course like growing up, your diet choices impact your routine. ---

Dude, one of these days, you will look back on your teen years as a carefree time. When Mom paid the bills and bought the groceries. Provided you with a bunch of Dove men hygiene products. When you could game and post on random message boards to your hearts content. That is nothing like losing weight or any number of adult trials and tribulations. Quit fretting over the shit and go have fun. You’re a kid, get on with being a kid. ---

I think the point of that post was to show off some gratitude Anyways, I will try to discuss personal issues less online. Problem is I am such an introvert and people know it, this is why people love taking advantage over me in social real life situations. Even my mom has sometimes no way to help me out, so I am just doing whatever I can. And no I don’t go saying “Where’s my social privilege?” I just try to work my ass off to earn my reputation. ---

Wow, that’s some bullshit nonsense right there. You’ve got gift for this, kid. Keep this up and you’ll be recruited by 4chan by the time you graduate high school.
