I mean come on! Maybe I'm just feisty, overly defensive and somewhat irritable today, but really, do you know anyone that just up and grew out of it? It's usually an indication of a bigger problem, no?

Doctors and parents ignore their suicidal teenage children, waving their hand at them saying "meh... it's just a bit of teenage angst. It'll pass."

No. I'm sorry. It won't. And it didn't. They tell their teenagers that they are making it up. They only want attention. And that one day, when you're an adult you suddenly get thrust into this magical world where everyone gets along and everything just suddenly turns into sunshine and rainbows.

Please excuse me while I laugh mockingly.

It's terrible and (my) parents should be ashamed. Really.
