I’m worried what’s going to happen to me. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025041 2022-08-11 12:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025041 That I appreciate all that they do for me. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025148 2022-08-11 12:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025148 I wish my parents knew how thankful and grateful I am for all that they do for me. My parents have protected me from rude people, mean situations, etc and I don’t know what I would do with out them. They have both been so consistent in my life and I know they will always be there for me and have my back. I don’t say it a lot, but I love them both so much. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025215 2022-08-11 12:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025215 I wish my parents knew how school is today. School is a lot of work and can become stressful with extracurricular activities. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025293 2022-08-11 12:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025293 i wish my parents knew how hard i try to please them and be the best i can be. I try my best in school and in sports and working. i wish they know how thankful i actually am for them. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025487 2022-08-11 12:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025487 How much pressure it is to preform well in school, and to keep a good resume for college. Time management isn’t easy when you have to be at school for hours. So fitting everything, including work, into my schedule is a little hard. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025573 2022-08-11 12:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025573 I usually feel pressed when you guys talk about my future and how much you expect from me. I want to do my best, but my best might not be shaped on the way you guys expect it to be. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025668 2022-08-11 12:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025668 what freedom and privacy is, they could be more open with their kids if they let them have more freedom to go live their life and have some privacy for those moments they want to be alone. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025792 2022-08-11 12:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025792 I wish my parent knew how anxious i get when I think about finishing highschool. I have no idea on what happens after highschool pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025977 2022-08-11 12:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259025977 I wish my parents knew how much I Actually try. When it comes to school, work, and even home activities, it becomes stressful at times to stay focused on so many subjects and things to do at once. I feel like my parents don’t see any stress in me and what I struggle with. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026071 2022-08-11 12:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026071 I am very happy with my life right now. I am happy of all the things that have happened in my life recently like getting to be a HoPe leader and making new friends through HoPe. I am very thankful for my parents for always being by my side. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026152 2022-08-11 12:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026152 I wish my parents knew how hard it is to be born, grow up, be a kid, be a teen, and learn how to become an adult in a time that’s different from when they were doing just that. Todays society is deadly when you see how brutal it can be with these new generations. No one’s perfect and I try everyday to better myself from the person I was yesterday. However, it’s not as easy as they may think. They aren’t kids anymore for them it’s a memory. But for us it’s reality. The word is changing so are we and that’s okay but support us and grow with us while we grow with the world. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026248 2022-08-11 12:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026248 I wish my parents knew I don’t really enjoy talking about anything with them. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026312 2022-08-11 12:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026312 I wish my parents knew what school has come to today and how much it has changed, in an in person perspective. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026401 2022-08-11 12:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026401 When I come home late it is because of work or one of my friends stop me to talk after a late shift. It is not always like in the summer when I came home late just because I could. Now I have to go to bed so I have to be home at a good time, and a good time is before my curfew, which I always come home before. And if I’m late on doing chores, it is because I hadn’t had time to finish them because of work, friends coming over unannounced, or when you ask me to pick one of the kids up. I do work on the chores, I just have to do other things or else people get mad. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026459 2022-08-11 12:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026459 i guess i never say how much i appreciate everything you do for not only me but others in my life as well. Sometimes it’s hard getting up and out of bed and doing simple tasks but you try to understand and i love you for it. Thank you for loving me with everything in you. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026592 2022-08-11 12:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026592 I wish my parents knew that I put in more effort into my life and my academics than it may seem like from an outside view. And that I am usually putting my best foot forward and truly do care about doing what’s best for me. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026676 2022-08-11 12:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026676 That I love them so much and that I want them best for them. I wish they new how thankful I am the they raise me up in a Christian house hold that when I tried to go my own way an of course failed that I knew where to come back to. Which is home pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026797 2022-08-11 12:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026797 It’s annoying having to worry with parents dealing with the smallest thing that really isn’t that serious. Us students have a lot on our plates and we don’t need parents tripping about her smallest thing. It just adds to our stress load pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026881 2022-08-11 12:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026881 I wish my parents knew that i’m not lazy, when I get behind my school work I know they get disappointed because I’m smart and can do it. Sometimes my brain doesn’t think and it can’t do the things it should because it feels so numb. I don’t do the school work because sometimes I can’t care enough to. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026923 2022-08-11 12:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026923 I wish my parents knew how long and stressful my schedule is and would let me take naps when I get home. Being thrown in an AP class for a mediocre GPA kid is not easy. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026993 2022-08-11 12:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259026993 I wish that my parents knew about some my friends intern struggles. Many people go through things in which they try to deal with on their own. I wish that they knew some of the mental struggles that we sometimes go through in high school. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027071 2022-08-11 12:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027071 i wish my parents knew how hard i work. it always feels like it’s never enough for them and i wish they knew that i am struggling with the expectations they give me. i just want them to know that i am doing my best. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027127 2022-08-11 12:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027127 I wish my parents knew how much I cared about my business. It’s always on my mind and it’s the only thing I can seem to keep my focus on 24/7, nothing seems to be able to bring me more excitement and joy doing what I love. The adrenaline and the gratification once a project is complete is unmatched. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027191 2022-08-11 12:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027191 I wish my parents knew how much I love and appreciate them and everything they do. They have made me the person I have become today. They taught me to work hard, be kind and caring, and love others even when they do me wrong. As excited as I am to go to college, I will miss them and feel homesick for a while. I know they will always be there for me if I ever need to call them. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027284 2022-08-11 12:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027284 i wish my parents knew how hard life can be for someone who doesn’t have any motivation and gets treated like a child. i wish my parents knew what its like having all this stress pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027350 2022-08-11 12:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027350 About how many people I have met over the last 2 years and all the adversity I have had to go through to get to this point. It is a great personal accomplishment. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027489 2022-08-11 12:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027489 That I do my best. Also that I love them pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027578 2022-08-11 12:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027578 If college is like this I’m gonna commit scholarship fraud and launder the money into offshore accounts and move to Alaska. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027741 2022-08-11 12:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027741 I wish my parents knew that sometimes it’s hard to focus because there is too much happening or going on at once. It sometimes leads to tiredness. While also stresses me out sometimes. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027807 2022-08-11 12:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027807 I wish my parents knew that I’m an adult because I still feel like I’m 17 when I’m 18. I need to grow up in life and get a credit card and invest because I’ll get screwed if I don’t start now. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027964 2022-08-11 12:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259027964 I wish my parents knew how hard I try. It may not seem like I’m struggling but I am. I try so hard to make them proud, keep up with my responsibilities, stay on top of school, be social, be happy, and overall enjoy my teen years, but it’s hard. I also wish they knew how much I love them and care about them. They are the most important people in my life. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028063 2022-08-11 12:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028063 I wish I had something but I literally have nothing. I tell my parents basically everything and we talk all of our problems out. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028131 2022-08-11 12:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028131 They lead me in the right path most times but also do too much sometimes. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028227 2022-08-11 12:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028227 I wish my parents knew that they should be less strict, and freedom is a good thing and allows for more growth as an individual. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028309 2022-08-11 12:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028309 School is exhausting, and sometimes I do want to just go home and sleep or relax instead of doing even more work. School can be very stressful and the work can easily build up in a day and consume you. Some things that may seem easy to you might be very difficult for us and we might need more help or more time to learn it. School is overall very overwhelming sometimes and very stressful because there is so much pressure to pass and do good on everything all the time. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028426 2022-08-11 12:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028426 There is a lot of stuff that goes on in our brains that parents will never know, obviously our life is not as simple as wake up go to school get home and go to sleep. There are a lot of mental battles about what we should and shouldn’t do and what is best for our future and what’s best for right now. It’s stressful when you constantly think about what you could be doing better. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028504 2022-08-11 12:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028504 That school is a stressful thing to come back too and with having a job things can get overwhelming easier, i know senior year is supposed to be laid back but 3rd day into this and i already feel like things will be a struggle. Also just that sometimes i don’t want to be responsible(gimme a min) sometimes i want to skip my classes and forget that i might miss something important and i want to just live until the responsibility's are mandatory. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028795 2022-08-11 12:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259028795 I wish my parents knew that no matter what, they will not have to support me once I’m older and living independently on my own. I’m grateful for everything they’ve done for me and I one day wish to repay them for all of that they’ve done. I’m truly blessed to have them in my life and as my parents and couldn’t be more happy. Although you may worry about me now, I can guarantee that once I head off to college I’ll be fine. I’ll get a job, study hard, make new friends, and adapt well into that new environment. Love you guys pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029010 2022-08-11 12:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029010 I wish my parents knew that I actually am planning for my future. It's not the plan they necessarily want, or think is best, but it's one that I can truly see myself doing and from my research can be just as, if not more successful than with they suggest. I wish every conversation about future planning wasn't just "If you don't go to this college and get this degree, you'll end up being a failure". pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029181 2022-08-11 12:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029181 I wish my parents knew, how school can be so overwhelming to me and stressful it is to try to put all of our time and effort to do what we love to really do. A lot of people don’t really have the learning capability that others can have so I don’t think it’s really fair for them and all the school stress alone. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029238 2022-08-11 12:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029238 I wish parents knew how hard and stressful school can be even if you have easier class it’s still hard thinking that you are not good enough or smart enough because your friends have AP classes or already know what they want to do with there life, and your just kinda stuck. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029295 2022-08-11 12:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029295 American education system pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029375 2022-08-11 12:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029375 Balancing sports and school is a lot and very tiring pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029437 2022-08-11 12:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029437 Nothing.

I’m aware of things they try to hide. I respect boundaries with my parents, but I don’t like when I feel I’m being lied to. I also wish they knew they expect too much sometimes. And mental health is real, sometimes a break is needed when I ask. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029711 2022-08-11 12:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029711 I’m super stressed between school, sports, and work pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029794 2022-08-11 12:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029794 how much time I need to myself pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029863 2022-08-11 12:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259029863 How tiring high school can be. Most days I’m tired and not realizing what’s in my class half the time.

It’s hard for a kid to come home after 8 hours of school, go home, study for ACT/SAT, do homework on top of that. I know the tradition response is “This is what being an Adult is like.” News Flash, We aren’t true adults. We haven’t learned enough about ourselves. We might be adults in age but not in mind or spirit. We’re just trying to learn how to grow up, but it’s hard with all the pressure. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259030160 2022-08-11 12:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259030160 that i wasn’t lazy.

Not stress about my sisters as well. i’m not her mother, im not the parents, im her sister not her mother. i wish they saw and cared about how i felt and that it’s not my responsibility to look after her, to do her school things, to help her out on school, to get her to eat. it’s all too much pressure for me , on top of all the things i already have to do, taking care of another child isn’t my job and it’s not helping me. i want to be able to live my life as a teenager, i love my sister but i am not her mother. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259031038 2022-08-11 12:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259031038 i wish my parents knew i’m trying my best and why i get into these moods constantly. i wish they knew it has nothing to do with them and that i love them unconditionally and i’m so grateful for them and everything they do for me.

They don’t tell me I have to do something unless it’s really important so I can easily differentiate between what is advice and what is a rule. It really makes me more inclined to listen to what they have to say as far as advice goes. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259065129 2022-08-11 13:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259065129 I wish my parents knew that I love them with all my heart.

Sometimes it isn’t always our first priority, and we don’t have the same standards that our team is parents have. We understand that you want us to do our best but hovering over our grades and other stuff doesn’t always help improve us and our knowledge. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259065812 2022-08-11 13:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259065812 That I know how to send emails to people.

It’s important to know that you can’t always be 100% all the time. Staying healthy means taking breaks and not always focusing on just work and taking the hardest classes/being the best. You have to pace yourself and know how much you can handle. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259066240 2022-08-11 13:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259066240 I wish my parents new how tired I am sometimes from school, sports, and friends. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259067683 2022-08-11 13:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259067683 I don’t have a lot of time after school. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259067764 2022-08-11 13:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259067764 How much work students really do.

When I’m sad I don’t want to be asked why. When I’m neutral I don’t want to be told to have more emotion, and any other combination of this.

Being protective means setting healthy boundaries and being there for us when we need it most. Always remember to be there for us since this is a hard age to get through but we need space to learn about ourselves and make mistakes along the way. Let us be kids and love us no matter what. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259069751 2022-08-11 13:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259069751 I wish my parents knew how bad my anxiety is. My parents see my anxiety, but they don’t understand that what they see if just what overflows and it to much for me to hid like I usually do. They don’t understand the levels of anxiety i have, and my anxiety is so bad that i cant even function in conversations to be able to express this to them. I cant hold a normal conversation because my mind panics, forgets everything, then goes into survival mode where all it can think is how to get out of the conversation. I couldnt take my highschool course credits last year because i was to worked up over the thought of an EOC so now its effecting me now as i have to retake classes that i couldve passed last year with an A-B and im not sure how im going to do it this year because i cant just drop the course.

I wish they knew that their little comments hurt a lot. Whenever I take pride in something and they just brush it off or give me mean feedback it hurts. Sometimes in those moments I just wish they were more positive around me and giving me kind feedback instead. I wish they knew how kind they can be but how much influence they have on my life in a negative way and positive way. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259070854 2022-08-11 13:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259070854 i wish my parents knew how much i appreciate them and everything they do for me. sometimes i feel as if they don’t know that. i wish they trusted me first instead of questioning what i do even when i haven’t done anything to break their trust. i try and thank them as much as i can but sometimes i feel as if they are unapproachable or they won’t understand what i am trying to say to them. sometimes i with they understood what i am going through might not be the same as what you went through when you where my age and it is frustrating when you compare them as if they are the same. i wish they knew that if i’m not like them that it doesn’t mean that i am a bad kid it just makes me different from you. i wish they knew that i want to tell them things but i’m scared of what they will say. but i hope they understand that i appreciate them so much pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259071145 2022-08-11 13:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2259071145 I love reading. pateln24 https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2263348213 2022-08-17 14:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pateln24/Iwish/wish/2263348213
