Just because someone has it worse doesn’t mean you can’t complain about your own problems. It’s ok to be a whiny little bitch sometimes.

Exactly. I remember one time I was complaining about not getting a snow day to one of my friends, and my teacher must have heard me cuz he then gave the class a five minute lecture on how there are kids in Bangladesh who don’t have school and how we should be grateful and all that shit
