If she continues this way, she will raise good parents.

I can't even argue like that at 32, what a talented kid

[iilmac]

“Please treasure our childhood days”. That says it all.

[quin]

my heart goes out to her, she’s very passionate, and seems like she’s telling the truth. kids should be allowed to be kids, and not robots!

[vivienneedwards]

Poor kid. How hard as she worked to enable someone at that age to express her pain so succinctly.

[kiryukazuma]

"In order to study at all, I also need my rest." the girl has a point there

[alexxu]

She feels like an adult who goes back in time and relives her childhood

[flyboy]

Imagine millions of girls and boys out there feeling this way, yet unable to express themselves as beautifully as this little girl?

[EmperorsNewWardrobe]

Good lord, that is one aware, intelligent, assertive, wise, articulate, tactful, creative little girl!

[mayrushart]

Sadly not every parents will understand this. Some parents will always think they are right and ignore the kids feelings just cuz they are kids

[josuedeleon]

I almost cried when her dad said "you've been good lately" and she said "lately?". She was so hurt by that.

[itz_bloxxy]

she spoke with her heart and not her mouth. god bless her

[truthspeaker]

What a mature kid. More articulate than most adults.

[commonlor]

“Treasure our childhood days”. What a great quote from a kid. Love her.

[antaequeJ]

She’s so self-aware and polite. I wish grown adults were like this

[Evelyne]

This child makes more sense than most adults!

[yachi]

This broke my heart. Glad she stood up for herself. Kids need to play. You're only a child once.

[User-omm]

“You’re asking me things even a robot couldn’t do, even if I had 8 hands I couldn’t do it” she’s so well spoken wow, and she articulate her feelings so well

[Kylaryn]

the fact she did this in clear emotional distress is absolutely incredible to me. I'd barely be coherent in that state.

[shaynasheikh]

She’s so sweet and thoughtful, I vote for more playtime for her!
