If your teen comes home completely drained, it’s not attitude — it’s burnout.
School is full of masking, sensory demands, social pressure, and nonstop expectations.

Masking is exhausting.

Smiling when you’re tired. Nodding when you’re confused. Shrinking yourself to fit in.

It’s constantly editing yourself to meet the world’s expectations.

You deserve spaces where you can show up fully as you are and where you belong.
