He said "we feel like you don't like us" and he paused as if he wanted some reassurance, and I couldn't give it to him. I feel terrible. It was a good chance to tell him too. But I couldn't do it.

tell them they're ok but that you're a teenager and it's your biological and psychological imperative to separate yourself from them, and that if you don't achieve that task within a reasonable schedule you'll become a mentally malformed creep.
