“I think it’s strange that media for children doesn’t tell you that it’s OK to be confused,” she said. “It’s OK to question, it’s OK to not have everything figured out, and it’s OK that you might never have everything figured out because who does? The reality is that everyone can change, everyone can be flexible, and everyone can go through being confused and wanting to learn. If you make a mistake, that’s not necessarily bad and that’s something you can use as a chance to grow. Please feel free to explore who you are, and what this world is. It’s going to be messy and confusing and that’s OK.“
I feel like society normalizing mothers screaming and being angry at their children as long as they don’t beat them because ‘mothers love you more than anyone else’ should stop. It hurts victims of emotional and verbal abuse because they are told to keep loving their mothers since they “don’t abandon you, give you a roof, food, and clothing” and it makes them unable to identify if they’re being abused or try to fight back because “she still loves me.” Such things really have to stop.
