I’m glad she’s becoming more socially aware, but can’t we just enjoy a movie without her critiques?
My 16-year-old daughter, like many other teens, spent a lot of the pandemic on social media. She and her friend group have become much more active around social justice issues, following activists on Instagram and organizing protests/actions in our city. In general, I’m proud she’s expanding her worldview and taking action. However, it seems that many of the activists she follows are very “pro-canceling,” and she’s taken this to heart.
However, do consider that your daughter asking you to see the harm in some of the things you may have otherwise found enjoyable is not an attack on your character, nor your good time. Furthermore, some of the discomfort may come from knowing that, at times, she may be rightfully directing your attention to something that you would otherwise happily ignore.—may have been a lot of fun for your family after a difficult year, but colorism is some deep, world-altering stuff.
As your daughter figures out what she can and can’t live with in this world, take time to reevaluate some of those things for yourself.
