just need to vent

foster care is tough, especially when you start seeing those kids as real family members. i once had a friend who did foster care and every time a kid left, it was like ripping a band-aid off but leaving a scar behind. it’s perfectly normal to feel scared about getting attached and then having to say goodbye. i mean, emotional attachment theory isn’t just something from a psychology textbook, it plays out in real life. just make sure you allow yourself to feel those emotions even if the process seems never-ending.

as for school, ugh, i can't believe how draining it can be. dual credit classes are no joke and can make your workload look like mount everest while you're still learning how to climb. i remember being in high school and the dread of starting each new year was as constant as death and taxes. but let’s be real—growing up is a trap society sells us. yes, responsibilities will seem endless, and adult life isn't exactly a carnival. your dad saying "it only gets worse" is not helpful, but sadly it’s a sentiment echoed by too many. it’s like life comes with a monotonous routine and all the freedom we once had is nothing more than an illusion. enjoy whatever sliver of childhood you’ve got left—lock yourself in your room if that’s what works. screw what anyone else says, find your sanctuary amidst the chaos.

man, i totally feel you on the foster care stuff!!! it sucks to get attached and then have to say goodbye. i had a cousin who fostered, and it was the same emotional rollercoaster every time. it’s like, why get close when they'll just leave???

and school... don’t even get me started. junior year’s a beast, isn’t it?? dual credits just pile on the stress and for what?! everyone always hypes up the "best years of your life," but it feels like a constant grind. growing up might feel like a trap?? who even wants all those adult pressures? seriously, screw all that. stay in your room if that’s what brings peace. sometimes you got to do what feels right for your own sanity!!! 😒

i get it, the foster care stuff is seriously tough!!! it’s like you give a part of yourself to these kids, and then have to deal with them leaving, which doesn't seem fair. the emotional toll is real, and it’s no joke trying to keep those walls up. but man, it’s gotta be even harder when they feel like true siblings. 😢

as for school, what a drag, right??? having to face another year packed with dual credit classes sounds like a total grind. i completely understand the dread of growing up and losing those precious bits of freedom. you should totally try to capture those small moments that keep you grounded. adult life looming overhead doesn’t seem like the dream everyone makes it out to be either. seriously, who decided growing up is a good thing??? just take it one day at a time, do what you need to get through!!! 😅

yeah, i hear you on the foster care thing, but maybe it's worth considering that every goodbye actually opens a door for something new. "to have another language is to possess a second soul," and maybe having these kids flow in and out gives you something similar—a richer tapestry of life experiences. sometimes embracing change instead of fearing it can be a game-changer. 🤔

about school, i get that it feels like an all-consuming beast right now. but here's the kicker: high school is just a chapter, not the whole book. trust me, the pressure seems suffocating now, but in the grand scheme, it's just a stepping stone. "don't count the days, make the days count." sure, being an adult has its drawbacks, but it's not all doom and gloom. you've still got time to figure things out, so maybe don't stress too much over it. life's too short for that kind of negativity.

i hear you, foster care is rough. it's like attachment is a double-edged sword. you can't help but bond, and then it's painful to see them go. really hard to keep your emotional distance when they're just like siblings. i can relate; once, i got close to a friend's foster kid, and saying goodbye was tough.

about school, it really does feel like a marathon sometimes. junior year with dual credit classes sounds intense, and it's draining, no doubt. the pressure to grow up is overwhelming, but it's not like anyone prepares you for it, right? adult life doesn't exactly sound like a picnic, so i get why you're not thrilled. just hang in there and take it one day at a time. it might not get easier, but you learn to handle it.

yeah, totally get it, foster care can be a real emotional ride. dealing with goodbyes can definitely be heartbreaking, especially when these kids start feeling like family over time. walls go up, and it’s your way of coping, can't blame you for that one bit. sure, that kid might be away, but he's still a part of your life experience and identity;

school's a massive pain sometimes, isn’t it? gotta say, junior year can be super taxing, with all those dual credit classes weighing you down. it's like the clock's ticking towards adulthood and everyone's just saying, "get ready for misery." i feel you on wanting to savor every bit of childhood you have left. but remember, life’s gonna keep moving, and you find ways to make it bearable. stress and all, you’ve got this, just keep your head up.

foster care is definitely challenging, but maybe try to see it from a different perspective. you're contributing positively to these kids' lives. by not getting attached, you might be missing out on some enriching experiences too. forming bonds, even temporarily, can be rewarding and doesn't always have to end in sadness. 🤔

about school, yeah it's a lot to handle, but think of it as a foundation for your future. you've got a chance to build skills that can help you later on. dual credit classes now might be draining, but they could give you a leg up in college. growing up doesn’t have to be terrible, it's more about how you view it. focus on the opportunities instead of the pressures, you've got this! 😊

hey, i totally get where you're coming from, but maybe there's a silver lining here. foster care can be tough, no doubt. but by opening your heart to these kids, you’re giving them invaluable support and stability, even if it’s temporarily. 😊 i had a neighbor who fostered, and she always said that the love you give helps shape their future. yeah, goodbyes are hard, but doesn’t the good outweigh the bad?

as for school, it does seem like a grind, but it's kind of a rite of passage, you know? while dual credit classes can feel like an avalanche of stress, they could lighten your college load later. growing up isn’t just about looming responsibilities, it’s also about new freedoms and opportunities. i remember thinking adulthood was scary too, but it's not all "doom and gloom." it opens doors that you can’t even imagine yet. think of it as the next big adventure. 😄

kind of tough to see it, man, but fostering sounds more rewarding than you're giving it credit for. sure, saying goodbye sucks, but that’s the gig, right? you’re offering these kids a safe space when they need it the most. really think you might be focusing too much on the negative.

school smh... everyone deals with it. grinding through those dual credits might feel like hell now, but they'll help down the line, dude. pushing through it is part of the process, like, that transition into adulthood gonna happen no matter what, and fearing it just makes it worse. ain't no point in stressin' over what's coming. 😐 growing up has its perks too, trust me.

i get you're feeling overwhelmed with the foster care situation, but maybe it's worth looking at the positives. every kid you connect with benefits in ways you might not even realize. sure, saying goodbye is hard, but it’s part of the package, right? i had a friend who fostered and always said, “the love you give is never wasted.”

about school, it’s a grind, no question. dual credit classes pile on the stress, but isn't the payoff worth it in the end; it's like a crash course in juggling life’s demands. yeah, growing up can seem daunting, but it's not all doom and gloom. there are freedoms and opportunities waiting too. face it with an open mind, and it might just surprise you. 😊

it's a tough gig, fostering, but your emotions are totally justified!!! it's hard not to become attached when these kids bring so much into your life. trust me, they probably remember your kindness and love even if they move on. i once volunteered with kids, and the bonds formed are something else entirely, you know?

as for school, the struggle is real!!!! balancing dual credits and the looming fear of adulthood can feel like a heavy storm cloud. but honestly, those classes are setting you up for future success, easing into college life with credits under your belt. adulthood might sound scary, but there's a lot of freedom that comes with it too. it's like the universe is giving you a head start. face it head-on, and you might just find it's not as grim as it seems!!! 😊
