Try not to take it personally. From what I remember of being that age the emotions are all over the place and pretty much beyond control.

I think the analogy to life or growing up as a rollercoaster is all wrong. Instead we start as a little cell and by the time we’re spit out, we’re 6 trillion cells and it’s akin to being shot out like a metal ball from a pin ball machine. We’re ejected straight out and then hit bumpers on all sides, up, down, sideways. Sometimes we fall so far that the flappers (parents) smack us back into the chaos of bouncing off different obstacles.
All that to say they’re insane little cannon balls and all you can do is be a good flapper. And love them of course.

Be surprised that you had some love at all!

Also, I have the upmost respect for parents.
