"When your son comes home with his fists clenched and his eyes swollen shut from crying, take notice. Listen to his feet shuffle up the stairs like dead weights that he can't lift. Be aware when he slouches, no matterhow many times you tell him to sit up straight. Listen as no sounds come from the bathroom, even after hours of him being in the shower. Pay attention to him watching TV late into the night or spending too much time on his phone because he can't sleep. Do not ignore the dark circles under his eyes and yell at him to go to be earlier. Do not be oblivious if his grades start slipping. Do not ignore the empty look inside of his eyes, like two bottomless pits that will never be filled again. When he falls out of his usual habits and becomes too tired to do the things he loves the most in this world, take notice. Do not become angry with him or call him selfish and unloving when he shuts you out. Please, do not be like your parent. Do not make him lock the door behind him." 
-Be the parent yours never was.
