I’m currently 16 right now. I play video games for 15 hours a day because that’s the only social interaction I get. Today I was yelled at by my grandma for being on too much in the past week, (my parents aren’t stable enough to take care of me and my brother.) and every time I try to talk back I can’t help but smirk. I think about how me talking back is like a cliche where the teenager is talking back because he’s in “that” phase. I feel like I should also mention that the yelling is really hurtful, not towards me but my grandma. My brother has depression so he stopped caring about school. I watched him not do any work and every night I would hear just flat out screaming. It was horrible and it’s probably gonna happen again when school starts. But back to the question, why do I always smirk? Sorry if it’s confusing.
