Now that I’m somewhat of an adult (19f), I’ve realized so much on my own. Like for example, I got my permit when I was 15 but I still don’t know how to drive because they refuse to teach me, even though I’ve begged & begged. Last year I finally understood continents. I didn’t even know Africa was one and I’m black. (I know all 7 now btw). I researched everything I ever wanted to know because either I wasn’t properly taught at school, or my parents was too lazy or lacked the knowledge to teach me. I think they relied heavily on school to teach us everything. Like, is this not school? I’m not being sent here everyday to learn how to stand up for myself, save money, or grocery shop. Anywho though, I didn’t come here to vent.. the whole point is my parents never really taught me anything about life, so I need to read a few books and maybe learn a lot of helpful tips from them!
