Lots of teens use AI as their first stop for anxiety, depression, or relationship pain. Telling a parent you've been doing this is hard. Doing it well matters.
Many teens use ChatGPT, Character.AI, or Pi to vent about mental health stuff because it's available at 2am, doesn't judge, and doesn't tell parents. None of those are the same as actual care. Telling a parent you've been doing this — and asking for real help — is the move that opens the door to a therapist, not the move that gets you grounded.
If any of this resonates: write down one sentence that names the thing. Say it out loud to yourself once. That sentence is the hardest part. After that, the conversation has somewhere to go.
