[he types and deletes a few false starts before he finally figures out how to word it]
The time and place I'm from - American culture, I mean - is pretty fond of saying that children shouldn't have any worries until they're finished with school, when they're ready to head out into the world on their own. That the older generation, whether it's family or teachers or some other support system, should be the ones making sure that they're safe and happy and all their needs are met. So to see someone your age taking on so much responsibility and worry, not just for yourself but everyone else ... on some level I feel like you're being denied the chance to have a childhood.
I know it's extremely likely you don't feel that way, just because you had to ask me to explain, but. Well. There you have it, I suppose.
