Laurie Halse Anderson Quotes About Mothers

• I am so sorry. I wish you knew even one tenth of one percent of how sorry I am. ...It was my fault. Can I kill myself here, or should I do it outside, so the mess on your carpet doesn't upset your mother?

  Laurie Halse Anderson

  Mother, Sorry, Upset

  Laurie Halse Anderson (2014). “Twisted”, p.40, Scholastic UK

• I want to tell him that it's just a stupid car, but bits of me are scattered all over town; the graveyard, school, Cassie's room, the motel, and standing in from of the sink in my mother's kitchen. It takes too much energy to gather all the bits together, so I just sit there and watch him implode.

  Mother, Stupid, School

  Laurie Halse Anderson (2009). “Wintergirls”, p.138, Penguin

• Tener que criar a tu madre o a tu padre es un reto con el que tienen que lidiar demasiados adolescentes. Los adolescentes cuyos padres se enfrentan al abuso de sustancias, a dificultades económicas, a la pérdida del trabajo, a enfermedades mentales o al divorcio merecen nuestro amor, apoyo y compasión. Ojalá Estados Unidos dejara de juzgar y criticar a los adolescentes y, en su lugar, intentara comprender las batallas que tienen que librar cada día.
