00:00Yes, I spend the whole day on my phone.

00:02I don't get anyone to listen to me when I look up.

00:05Often at 3 in the night, I have a strange thought.

00:09If I don't cry tomorrow,

00:12what difference does it make to anyone?

00:16Dear parents.

00:17Dear parents.

00:18Dear parents.

00:19Mom.

00:20Dad.

00:21I have something to say to you.

00:22I've been thinking for a long time.

00:24I'll say it today.

00:25It may take some time to understand.

00:28But today, sit comfortably and listen to me.

00:31I can't act happy in front of you anymore.

00:35How much more will I distract myself from studies?

00:37This is not a phase.

00:39These are my feelings and emotions.

00:41What will people say?

00:42These feelings don't matter.

00:45Yes, I spend the whole day on my phone.

00:47I don't get anyone to listen to me when I look up.

00:50Often at 3 in the night, I have a strange thought.

00:54If I don't cry tomorrow,

00:57what difference does it make to anyone?

00:59There are a few friends who I talk to.

01:03I don't want to listen to them when they scold me.

01:07Sometimes I wish I could stop this overthinking.

01:10If you listen to me once, I'll put my head on your shoulder.

01:14Should I write a letter or send a message and leave the family group?

01:18Should I tell them the truth or let them say everything is fine?

01:20If I tell you the truth, you won't snatch my phone by scolding me.

01:24Won't you compare our problems with the difficulties of your childhood?

01:28Won't you deny my difficulties by calling them fake again?

01:32If I refuse to tell you once, will you ask me again?

01:37I know it will feel awkward at first.

01:40It will take some time to understand the problems of this generation.

01:44In childhood, I taught you not to talk but to respect.

01:48It was said that if you shed a few tears, the world will call you weak.

01:52Mental health is not for us.

01:57Show some interest. We are ready to give you a crash course.

02:00We don't want solutions or advice from you.

02:04But at least take the first step and knock on the door.

02:07It may take some time to understand.

02:10But listen to me calmly today.

02:13Listen to me when I say I don't feel like it.

02:15And don't say your aunt's daughter is better than me.

02:19Listen to me when I say I don't feel like it.

02:22And don't say I'm very sensitive.

02:25Listen to me when I say some things trigger me.

02:28And don't say I'm too young for all this.

02:32Listen to me when I want to take some decisions selfishly.

02:35And don't say I never think about you.

02:39The world will be filled with a lot of difficulties.

02:42And in all this, your lack of support stands out the most.

02:46I should be free to say anything in my own house.

02:49The real fight should be with the outside world.

02:52It was very difficult for me to say all this to you today.

02:55But once you hear this, come and ask me how I am.
