Yup. This was an actual conversation I had at 18:
Mom: "You're not going to your graduation ceremony? Why?"
Me: "When a prisoner is done serving his time, and they finally let him out, he doesn't go back three months later in a cheap suit to celebrate the experience."
Mom: "...But they're supposed to be the best years of your life!"
Me: "Parents crushing their teenage children's' idealistic hopes that the future will be less shitty like that, is why the teen suicide rate is so high."
