Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

[hiddlesherethereeverywhere]

THIS IS IMPORTANT 

When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now). 

I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes. 

Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that. 

Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.

Off topic, but very important! I was taught to yell “this is not my mom/dad.” A young kid freaking out in public is likely to be ignored out of embarrassment, but a kid telling you right out that they don’t know who is messing with them? That will turn heads.

I feel like this should be said too if you see a child yelling things like “this isn’t my mum, or I don’t know you” or something don’t ignore them! This system relies on people actually helping the child! It dosent matter how rude you’ll seem or how anxious you are you could be saving a child’s life!

Even if you just ask the child “Do you know this person” if the adult butt’s in make sure to ASK THE CHILD! Even a shy kid will tell you they don’t know this person or just met them or something!

y’all saying BLM for one situation just don’t sit right with me, it goes beyond police brutality!!! it’s Black women dying at a higher rate during childbirth. it’s Black people being exposed to COVID-19 at a higher rate. it’s Black people being forced into low income communities. it's Black people being denied job opportunities due to the name on their applications. it's Black people being denied into higher institutions despite having the same qualifications as their non-Black counterparts. it's Black people having their creations and ideas stolen without being given credit simply because a good percentage of society still believes in 2020 that Black people are not creative enough or smart enough or skilled enough. it's decreasing the federal funding for schools in predominantly black neighborhoods due to gerrymandering. it's the kidnapping and murders of black men, women, and children that don't make it on the news. this isn't just about police brutality. this is deeper than that.

Never, and I mean NEVER feel like you have to explain yourself, or feel like you have to feel bad for liking a boyband. We all need someone to tell us we’re beautiful. We all need people to look up to and tell us we’re enough.

You should never feel like you’re childish, stupid, pathetic, or anything else people will try to tell you you are for liking boybands.

Because they’re funny, and they’re hot, and their interviews are comforting, and their songs are easy to digest and catchy, and who wouldn’t feel seen and protected when they have a group of cute boys with fluffy hair singing songs about how they’re never gonna let anything hurt you?

All I’m saying is that interests should not be shamed, no matter how childish you think they are. I don’t care how heavy and “cool” the bands you listen to are, bands don’t need to directly talk about problems in their songs to provide a feeling of security to the listener.

There have been countless times I’ve been able to breathe and take a step back in a moment of awful panic because I put 1D on, and they made me feel comfortable and safe. I’m sure many other boybands like Why Don’t We and BTS and many more have done the same for others.

No matter how cringey you think someone’s interest is, it may just be the thing that saved their damn life. Let people revel in what brings them joy. Someone else enjoying themselves is not an attack on you. Don’t make it out like it is.

 “racism is just a current issue!! only in america!!” NO. 

racism is a historical and worldwide problem. 

it was racism when europe decided to colonize and force black people into slavery by kidnapping them

it was racism when asia and cultures all over the world promoted lighter skin and shamed darker skin

it was racism when you listened to your r&b music and sang the n word 

open your eyes and be a part of the change. “racism doesn’t exist in my area!” look in the mirror.
