I hate family sitcoms.

Hey, I’m 15 who‘s struggled with household issues such as abuse, alcoholism, anger, etc from my parents and even sometimes my siblings. My childhood wasn’t very great. And being the “baby” of the family didn’t mean that I got treated better. I actually got treated worse.

Growing up, I would often watch these sitcoms about big families. And they all had these in common : They lived in 2 story houses, it was a family of 5 or more, the mum and dad were very happy together, and everyone had such a cool room. But there’s one thing that bothered me the most. There’s always the youngest kid in the family (usually a girl). She’s adorable and everybody treats her with patience, care, and everyone just adores her. She can even be the biggest brat in the world and still get away with it.

I was very jealous because I was the youngest in the family and I got treated terrible.

So I usually prefer to watch the later seasons whenever the youngest character gets older and the rest of the characters are starting to treat him/her more like a 13+ year old.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. So… anybody?

Why do students always accuse male teachers of being pedos??

This always gets on my nerves. When students (mainly females) go around the school and tell other studets that Mr. [ blank ] is a pedo because he's "too nice".

Like today, this girl i somtimes chat with during school was complaining about her teacher assigning too many assignments. And then she proceeds to say "I honestly think that Mr. [ ] is a p*dophile."

So I then lowkey rolled my eyes and asked, "Why...?"

And she responded with, "He always asked students if they're okay when they fall asleep in his class and he taps on them to wake them up."

She also explained how one morning he smiled at her and complimented her shirt. And she and her friends somehow found that as predatory behavior.

Nowadays, male teachers can't even be nice without being accused of being a pedo. If they're mean or just regular strict, then students hate them. And if they're just being a kind teacher that they should be, then students also will still hate them.

I'm just curious and wanna know your guys' thoughts.
