It's a rather old expression but it fits....'times a wasting'.
As a kid, on day one of school (first grade)....the clock is ticking. You've got 4,380 days before the basic school business ends.
Everyday you waste.....every day that you skip school....every day that you are in some juvenile detention center....every day you spend in some mental health unit....every day you spend worrying about your status in life....every day matters.
Kids don't realize....nor do they care. Maybe around day 4,000....they kinda wake up and start to pause over the future....trying to imagine another 1,000 days beyond day 4,380.
The 500-odd days utilized on trans-kids? Wasted time. It's 500-odd days where your priority of growing up, getting educated, or maturing....is dumped down several notches.
The 500-odd days used on juvenile detention, school troubles, or in some youth-offender camp? Wasted time.
I know for a 8-year old kid....4,380 days can't be seen as a reality....but somewhere around age 11 or 12.....this is a talk that you need to have with the kid. Time is passing and you won't get a 'remake' on lost days.
