trying

parents, when you’re child says they’re trying they’re trying their hardest. just bc you gave birth to them doesn’t mean you control them bc of their grades. grades don’t define you sweetheart. and to all the children reading this, i know how you feel but i promise you i’m here for you even though you don’t know me.

parents: you’re grades are HORRIBLE (that makes an impact on your life)
child: mom/dad i’m trying but it’s hard
