Oh my, I'm rather deaf and have been for more than 30 years - nerve damage so hearing aids don't work. Babysitting the grandchildren and 7 year old is yelling around 10pm. Go up, ask what's the matter - she yells something which to me sounded really garbled and I couldn't understand. I ask her nicely to repeat it more slowly and quietly as I couldn't understand. More garble and why can't you understand me at the end. I'm deaf, I reply, surely you know this? Another headfit "You're lying, you're not deaf" Turns out that the only deaf children she knows all had cochlear implants, so you're not deaf unless you have one, ...

According to my mom I was the most depressing 12 year-old she knew. She was a child therapist that commonly met with 12 year-olds.
Look at it this way: with you, any trauma would be influenced by her actions and she'd have you around even outside office hours. None of the other 12-year-olds were solely her responsibility. I suffer under the challenges I find with our twins more than I ever did with my nieces, and I objectively know my twins are comparatively angelical. Or she might just have been an a*hole to say things like that to you, I don't know her!

Went shopping at a local food market with my 5-ish year old kiddo. Saw the live lobsters in the tank and they said, "look, they're waiting to be adopted." My lip may have been a little bloody from me biting it.
And then there's my almost 2-year-old twins, who I put on David Attenborough for when I'm trying to cut their nails: Giggling excitedly when the jaguar stalks and fights and kills the cayman... I'd like to think they thought the two were just rough playing...
seeing the world like a preteen is not something i would ever want to do..
This sums up the difference between a farm kid and a suburban kid. Farm kids know ALL the facts of life.
