Too big for that Shoulder

Just when you think you have time to focus on yourself alone, another responsibility arises, maybe a sibling or parent in need. This will lead to the neglect of the previous decision to focus solely on your development. Responsibility is sometimes unpleasant but we see it as our duty to do them.

Responsibility is something that is often seen as unpleasant. It's something that we have to do, whether or not we want to. And it can be tough to focus on our own development when another responsibility arises. But we see it as our duty to do them. We're motivated by the idea of responsibility. It's what makes us get up in the morning and continue working hard. We know that there are people out there who are counting on us. And that's why we're dedicated to fulfilling our responsibilities no matter what.

It's often hard to be responsible for other people, especially when that responsibility is on a young shoulder. Young people often bear the weight of the world on their shoulders, and sometimes it can be too much. When it seems like your effort isn't being appreciated by those concerened, it can lead to an emotional breakdown at intervals. It's important to remember, though, that you are not alone in this struggle. Some people care about you, and they will be there to help pick you up when you fall. So don't be afraid to shoulder your responsibility - it will only make you stronger in the end.

It's tough to be a young person these days. You're bombarded with images and messages telling you that you need to be something that you're not. And on top of that, you're responsible for other people. Whether it's your younger siblings or your parents, you feel like you have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Worse case is when you are the first child and you are expected to be a model to your younger one in all ramifications.

It's no wonder that so many young people feel overwhelmed and emotional. They're constantly being told that they're not good enough and that they need to do more. It's a lot of pressure to put on someone who is still trying to figure out who they are.

I was talking to a friend this week and she was like she feel like running away from everything. I asked if she doesn't care about how her parents and siblings will feel and she laughed sarcastically and replied -"They are the reason I'm running away". At first, I thought she doesn't love her family but it's the other way round, she loves them so much that she's sacrificing her happiness for them. She has taken the responsibility for footing the bill at home for over three years and it looked like she can't go on again, for it is affecting her academics, social life and even mental well being.

We talked at length about the possible solution and I couldn't help faulting parents for neglecting their duties and placing them on a young child. However, thinking about it further, I realized it isn't something the parents are proud of. They feel bad each day when they see how their child struggles to take up responsibilities that should be theirs.

The weight of responsibility can be crushing. When it's on your shoulders, it feels like the whole world is counting on you. And when you don't feel like your efforts are being appreciated, it can be hard to keep going. But you have to. Because you're not just responsible for yourself - you're responsible for others.

If you're a young person who is feeling overwhelmed, know that you're not alone. It's normal to feel this way. And some people support you. So don't be afraid to reach out for help. And stay strong super human, someday everything will be alright.

Thanks for Reading! ✍💚🤗

Some youngster really face this problem now. Those responsibility that even if they don't want to, they had no choice but to still carry it on their shoulder. Because they are the only one who can carry it. That's why some who cantaloupe take it all will just run away. Or if it's really really to much, they will just reside to suicide. There are some cases like that for sure.

If we feel we can't do it alone, we need to seek for help. For sure someone out there is willing to help you.

At some point, we have to take care of ourselves more in order to take care of others. I think we have to communicate our feelings properly to our family just like your friend. That way everyone gets to understand each other.

This days every young person has been made in one way or the order to feel the weight of being responsible either from home or over the internet. We just have to know that we should not kill ourselves over anything.

Staying strong is just the best remedy. And a quick one is, don't do beyond your capabilities. Inasmuch as you want to be the good child you fashion, don't outdo yourself.

The society in general believes that youths can handle anything just because they are still young.

It's really difficult specially for a younger one to hold the whole responsibility to support his family. But everyone who is carrying this burden on his shoulder should try to be positive and happy, otherwise it can lead to mental issues.

It's so true that it leads to emotional breakdown when we keep on doing things for others, but they do not appreciate it not even realise it, they keep on taking it as granted and yes we have to keep on going with those responsibilities once it's imposed.

We can make the situation into an optimistic view as "we get sad because we are serious we are serious because we know responsibilities and since we know responsibilities that means we are far far far much better doing than rest of the world"

There are times when I am like I will give up everything but after 2-3 days it keeps on reminding me if you won't do it who else will?

Omo, it’s not easy to be first born, especially when the parents are not rich, the first born (If he’s a male) he will become the father the younger ones will look to you.

The world is turning, maybe now we feel abandoned and nothingness to others, but we have still time to make the world a better chance, just don't give up and continue to survive, and choose to live no matter what.

Young people are actually getting burdened by alot of responsibilities and expectations but then, it is all part of growing up. All these responsibilities play a major role in our growth and development as individuals and when we grow up, we will be grateful for our experiences.
