we have the same here, but our child safety laws are a bit more strict here

man imagine if america actually cared about the kids here

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

from what I've seen and heard the whole system is one big grey area.

OHHHHH I SEE NOW - hey sen if you ever need to talk my pms are open

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

if they did that to you here in the UK and your school saw and knew about it, you'd have a social worker in place the same day

annoyingly with being in a different country with diff law levels, I can't gauge what can and can't be done unless it's very black and white

lmao that's a bit deluded XD

lmaooo how so?

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

well... Developmentally, the teen years are a time when kids pull away from their parents in order to create their own identity (hopefully a mature, adult-like identity). It is a time of rapid physical development and deep emotional changes. These are exciting, but can also be confusing and uncomfortable for child and parent alike.

 

[Caiotic]

Right right, i mean like raising sen lmao. im not his mom, so it could be cool. or like, raising some teenager thats not my own. like a cool little friend that can pretty much take care of themselves i just gotta feed them and make sure they dont die

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

Oh also as with any child when you get them part way through life they bring with them all of the possible traumas and 'issues' that their past has given them. Of course with teens they have had a lot more time to be affected by and cultivate these things...

... lol any guardian can never be a 'friend' of their dependant. They are their carer, its a very different thing

 

[Caiotic]

shhhhh

 

[Caiotic]

let me have this

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

lol ok ok.... but... the emotional role of the parent or guardian is built on love, affection, and esteem. It’s an essential part of being one, and it’s a beautiful thing to behold. But your role as a such is not just emotional. And your child is not your friend. Indeed, much of the parenting role is functional. For an infant, that means feeding, changing diapers, bathing, and generally providing for them. For a child, it means ensuring homework gets done etc. And for a teen it means setting and enforcing a responsible curfews and similar boundaries. Understand that if a carer loves their child emotionally but neglects the functional role, that child is at risk of not maturing into a responsible adult. Indeed, emotional and functional parenting roles go hand in hand. It’s not healthy to emphasize one at the cost of the other. You need both.

 

[Caiotic]

i know all of this lmao cause i minored in child development, im obviously not out here trying to raise a teenager lmao
but considering it seems as if hes already not getting the love or affection,

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

That does seem to be where his parents are falling down. (LMAO But don't be out here giving these teenagers the idea that their parents should be their 'friends', I can see that's gonna lead to a whole slew of trouble XDDD)

 

[Caiotic]

oh no permissive parents are bad. i had permissive parents growing up. luckily i developed pretty much fine, but still

 

[Ezina-Kusu]

lol yes you seem to be well adjusted!

 

[Caiotic]

its taken years to get here lamo
