questionoftheday asks: Is there anything you learned as you grew up, and wish someone had told you, but no one did? What is it? (question submitted by

moem)

My answer:

Oh my Goooooooooooooooood, so many things. I grew up feeling like I was constantly in trouble because "I knew better" but nobody would ever fucking explain anything to me. I was supposed to be smart so that meant I could just absorb it all by osmosis, right?

There are some really shit things about growing up in the age of zero privacy, but man what I would not have given for stuff like Scarleteen or WikiHow or Captain Awkward when I was growing up.
