i am 17 and when i cry my mom always tells me i should grow up and stop acting like a kid but then she sometimes tells me that i'm still a child when i try to do things that are considered grown and it's really making me feel confused. i sometimes feel like a child because i am still a minor in my country until i turn 18 so there's not a lot a seventeen-year-old can do here.
You know what?
My Asian biological parents use my age both the ways.
I'm older and grown up when I make a mistake.
Younger and child / kid when I'm trying to do something that takes much responsibilities
So can't say anything reply
