Had to sit my mom down and explain the difference between apps, files, and websites, the different kinds of each and what they can do. Afterwards she still asks me to “Viber my sister on Facebook.”

Telling my parents I had Anorexia. I knew my thoughts/eating habits weren’t right and I went to a school counselor who then referred me to a therapist. I was diagnosed with Anorexia at age 15. I had to tell my parents, who were both severely obese, that I had an eating disorder. I felt like it was a slap in the face. Like I was telling them “I am mentally ill because I desperately do not want to look like you.”

That their computer kept getting viruses because someone in the house was looking at crappy pornsites and clicking on risky links.

9.

What a Haiku is. She just couldn’t wrap her brain around it. A week later my brother told me that my mom told him “Your sister is writing hookahs.”
