For people that's depressed, anxious or downright s*icidal music is one of the best ways to pour out one's hate and anger or sadness I used it alot when I was battling depression and extreme social anxiety. I'm not here to defend parents who mistreat their kids because I was mistreated too but from their perspective they're disciplining their children when they think they're "Going out of line" not because they just feel like it. This is usually solved by proper communication cuz at that point what's more to loose? And you get everything to gain. For people suffering through mental health don't give up on your life. Or yourself but fight through it. The light at the end of the tunnel is near and may God bless you and have a nice day

Lyrics : Sixteen, lot on her mind Gotta few friends, left the rest behind But guess that's just what happens, people change Stressed out but is always "fine" They be asking, but she can't describe Maybe, they're right, it'll all be fixed with age Hate that you've been saying I'm dramatic Immature because I just don't wanna talk You ever think that you might be overreacting? Promise I'm thinking, overthinking quite a lot They say we're crazy and useless, making stupid excuses To go make bad decisions when we're hurt And we're not crazy romantics but we still know what a heart is And know that when it's cracked it really burns Oh we know more than what we tell you But can't always put into words And we don't cry because we want to But you'll assume it's because she's another sixteen year old girl High school's been a terrifying one She thinks she won't ever find someone To build her back when she's in pieces and pieces again Let's not forget about all the Ones who go and run their mouths just to Stay relevant and not miss out Hate that you've been saying I'm dramatic Immature because I just don't wanna talk You ever think that you might be overreacting? Promise I'm thinking, overthinking quite a lot They say we're crazy and useless, making stupid excuses To go make bad decisions when we're hurt And we're not crazy romantics but we still know what a heart is And know that when it's cracked it really burns Oh we know more than what we tell you But can't always put into words And we don't cry because we want to But you'll assume it's because she's another sixteen year old girl

It’s so weird and exciting to hear this song today and see how far Tate is going with her career. Like I couldn’t imagine when I heard it for the first time 4 years ago that she would be what she’s today and I’m happy because she deserves it. But wow I just came back here ‘cause I saw an old print screen of this video and remembered. I actually found my comment from 4 years ago as well.😅😂

If you ever call you kid dramatic then you should regret it later cuz you could really be hurting them by those words❤

Tips for parents: 1) Don't call your kid a dissapointment, it truely breaks them. 2) don't choose academics over your child's mental health, every kid's different, some have an higher iq than the other, it's not your kids fault. 3) don't tell you kids to stop doing very hobby of theirs and study instead, we arent machines, we need rest too.

Whoever is reading this, and you’re in pain. Just stop rq and please give me a a minute or two to tell you sum. Listen bby, I know you’re hurting, and that is perfectly okay. The amount of people that are here in these comments, watching this video probably at the same time as you, and the ones who watch before, and after you, may feel the same way as you :) You are never alone. I know how you’re feeling, but at the same time, maybe I don’t. People have there own type of pain and it’s okay to go through it, If you wanna kill your self, and you wanna end it all thinking that it’ll end your pain. It may end your pain, but that pain passes on to the ones who truly love and care for you, such as family, friends, maybe even pets, and so much more. You have sooo many things in life to accomplish, and goals to reach. Reach those goals, and once you do, make new ones and make everlasting memories with those you love. Make the impossible, possible. You don’t wanna end it all, you want the pain to go away and be happy just like others in this world. You mean the world to everyone and I am one of those people that care for you. I love you so much and if I had to chance to give you the biggest hug, I would hug you until you I could feel your sadness and sorrows went away:). You’re beautiful/handsome, amazing, talented, smart, and you deserve the entire world. You’ve been holding on for so long and I am so proud of you for keep going. You’re so strong in, and out. Make sure you eat 3 meals a day, okay? I want you to wake up every morning, thinking about how god gave you this gift to be alive, and to know that you’re alive for a reason.

It’s kind of hard because I know they are struggling to but my mum won’t admit it. I feel like I have this responsibility to carry my parents emotions and make sure they don’t do anything stupid but like when I go through it I’m not really listened to or taken seriously. I don’t know what to do anymore. I know I have some issues but I don’t know what, and I’m too scared to speak to a therapist because like it’s not one thing it’s like hundreds and sometimes it’s so hard to explain. It’s like a know my childhood left and emotional scar but I can’t really remember it so I don’t know. Anyway sorry for the rant anyone else feeling this I’m sorry and hope it gets better for you! ♥️
