Transcript

These people that want you to be a certain person, they're only telling you that because they think that is what is best for you. They only want what's best for you and that, if that's all they know, like my parents doing a school, all they know is, hey, go to school, get good grades, go to college, you will live a happy life. That's what they know. So when I said I didn't want to do that, they thought that I was heading down a wrong path and obviously, you know, it caused issues. If you are someone that's dealing with that right now, I'm telling you right now, you are your own human and you can live whatever life you want to live. Don't let others make decisions for your life that could potentially alter your future for the worst to make you be in a bad mental health mindset.
