sometimes parents don't realise how hard it is when we're growing up. they fail to realise that there's so much pressure around these days. the simplest things can have such an effect on a person whether that's negative or positive. sitting down with your child and discussing options maybe a choice but shortly after they'll forget and treat you a certain way. having depression doesn't make you 'lazy' and having an eating disorder doesn't make you an 'attention seeker'. if you want to put something back that you've already started to continue it at another time then do so. just remember it's you who is moving forward in life and it's you who has to live it. 

do what makes you happy!! <3
