What nobody is understanding… Steven is basically saying he was born and raised into this supernatural lifestyle. Yeah he lived an adventurous life but he also been put in real risky situations at a very young age. Yeah his dad was around but he basically let the gems raise him. Steven needed guidance, his father should’ve raised him in a house, cooked him home cooked meals and tucked him in at night. Teach him actual life skills. He shouldn’t had let the gems be around Steven 24/7 Steven should’ve only trained with the gems a few hours a day to learn how to adjust with his powers while out in the real world then return home. And most of all Steven should’ve went to school! Cause after all the space war, he came back to reality but it wasn’t the reality he was used to and that leaded him to mental issues. So yes Steven was right he didn’t have a good childhood. Maybe the dream childhood but not a good one.
@sethreynolds3704 I'll always recommend SU highly, the first season is longer and more introductory, it has more "slice of life" to highlight Steven's human side and introduce the nongem characters. Season 2 is when the plot starts to pick up more, and also where all the trauma starts! Lol There's 5 seasons of the main show, then a movie and a short series w a time skip, where we see how everything has effected steven now that the "big bad" isn't an issue anymore, and how all the gems are coping. He has to learn to stop helping people at his detriment, basically. Unfortunately cartoon network rushed the end because of a wedding included in season 5, the gems are genderless aliens but they look like women so their marriage is too gay for cartoon network to allow to keep running 😂 but they still did a fantastic job!
While I agree I think in the moment he was wishing for a more normal childhood…. I have to ask if you ever watched the original show cuz this kid fought against the whole galaxy, he’s basically forced to be the family therapist as a damn kid, and was never taught that he can have a voice too and not to bottle that shit up. So to correct you, he did have a bad childhood, though he did also get a cool shield so there’s that
@@honeybee6036 I love future so much because of how much it explores that and shows that it’s not okay to bottle things up but showing that hey guys can also cry and have issues too, nice mental health awareness. 👍
No, he did have a bad childhood. Sure, those that loved him didn’t beat him and things like that. But they threw adult problems at him without ever realizing that he needed that type of support (Crystal Gems). Or how his father gave him too much freedom by letting Steven do f all with the Crystal Gems. Yes, awesome that Greg gave Steven enough trust to do anything. But at the same time, a child does need structure and security. There needs to be a balance. Steven didn’t have that.
It's all about perspective. Both sides have their down side. always feeling like you are wrong for not being what your family wants is damaging. Not having a nice looking house makes kids with less feel like less than...
what i got from this was that childhood neglect can come in so many forms but it also blinds you to the realities of life. the reality that both steven and greg had bad childhoods, the reality that greg hated his childhood so much that he struggled when it was finally his turn to break the cycle of abuse and ended up repeating the same harmful behaviors in different ways, and the most harmful of all realities is that steven was so stuck in place, so deep in his own head, that it truly looked like greg had a perfect childhood in comparison. to everyone currently hurting, their hurt is going to present itself as the main focus and its so so hard to break out of that fixation unless some bigger badder trauma shows up or someone who just knows more, be it by life experience or learned knowledge, to give you the tools you need. whether your neglect was emotional (like greg) or physical (like steven) your pain is still valid, but its never anymore valid than your neighbor’s pain. nobody deserves to feel homesick while laying in their own bed.
He realized how he felt, and things collapse inside, he's desperate for some familiarity in his own life. Imagine a grieving single parent afraid of taking his son to the doctor because he not exactly only human.
No it is. There are problems sure, but a lot of the arguments are very exaggerated, and come from people who’s criticism involves calling Estelle “KFC.”
The kids who grew up alternative lifestyles/educations are really showing up in the comments. At 34, and a parent myself, I know why parents make these choices, and I worry constantly about which choices of mine our children will have to heal from.
This is why I love the show so much, I basically grew up with it, I grew up with Steven and I've went through trauma too. No one is always better off then someone else there's always something
This is such a beautiful metaphor for what many kids grow up with. It was hard watching Steven's journey, because it echoed my own so much! There are many kids, like Steven, like me, maybe like you, person reading this. Kids who were thrown among irresponsible adults who used a kid to solve their problems, carry their mental burden, resolve their own trauma. This is not something a kid should do! This is not normal. Steven is kinda right. What I can also understand and emphasize with is that kids who are in situations like this know its inevitable, that the adults in their life were trying their best for the circumstances they were in. Sometimes their best isn't good enough for the kid, and leaves them with ptsd. So there's just so much anger, and it's unresolved cause you don't even know who to blame. When i moved away from my dysfunctional home, i broke apart. And the same thing is happening to Steven here - when you remove the urgency of the situation and you're left alone with yourself it blows up. Im still shocked at how well they captured all of that. What a show.
Dudes childhood was spent fighting and managing the opps his mom had and half of them thought he was still rose! I think I can see why he's so messed up! 😰💀
I was so disappointed in the ending of the original show, Steven Universe Future was such a breath of fresh air. It showed that, even though he had all the love and support he could ever ask for, he was never actually TAUGHT anything. Having the world break down around you, learning that you have lost most of your growth as a legitimate human child, it’s no wonder he’s finally at a breaking point. Hell, Steve nearly killed Jasper by letting off a bit of stress. Connie and her mother were such sweethearts.
He didn’t have a bad childhood it was just not normal. And he doesn’t realize it’s because Steven is NOT NORMAL. And i sympathize with him wanting a normal childhood but he got to do so many thing other kids could only dream of doing. He wants their life while other kids would want his life. I know I would.
Dude he nearly died a bunch of times before he hit puberty, doesn't matter how much fun you had in between those periode it would still make your childhood bad. You don't realises cause you watch a show you love ignoring all the bad this would do to a realistic person
@@satan3862 as someone who had not the best childhood and was suicidal at one point I know all about the bad. Still doesn’t change the fact he had a childhood most would dream of. As I said I would. Idc how many times he almost died, I’ve almost plenty of times from other stuff. If you yourself only see his childhood as negative that’s cause you are not built for it and that’s ok. Not all of us are strong and have a sense of adventure. You can have your boring childhood but some of us are different.
@@YasukeUchiha just because its a dream to you doesn't mean its good. Its like claiming living in a abusive home is beter then living in a war zone while true its still wrong no child should constantly face life threat its simply not healthy And you completely ignored my point his childhood isn't bad because 'he couldn't handle it' but because he constantly was in danger any reasonable adult should see that yeah it was fun but the trauma that would come with it wouldn't be
Yes, actually. Being homeschooled largely leads to bad childhoods. Also...yknow...your life constantly being in danger, having a wolf pack style family filled with drama and issues. Not getting real life experiences, only experiences that helped in one singular situation. A situation that is now gone, making almost all of that experience redundant when it comes to actual application of it.
@@bunnylover460 Nah dude it can really screw up your social development if the parents don't handle it with care. Missing out on interacting with others was probably a major factor in my own anxiety and trouble working with others. School teaches you how to deal with other people your age in a way that's very difficult to replicate.
I had stevens childhood i never went to the docter and then me and my dad were talking in his car and i got mad and the rest is just a blur i feel stevens pain
I listen to this every day while Im at work. Very cathartic. Just like Pink, I left my family because of their standards and im not sure they would care if i tried to explain tot hem how im feeling. They didnt care last time i tried.
Watching steven universe future opened my eyes to how much trauma he really went through and, while his childhood seemed like so much fun and exciting, he nearly DIED so many times in the process and if someone thinks that isn’t traumatic, they’re delusional and need to get their heads out their ah.
Why the hell am I the ONLY PERSON that is wondering abt why the search bar said "how to wax chin hairs safetly" and Ashley got a video of Steven's childhood
It was, literally stated? I wasn't a straight up child when the series ended but i thought ut was obvious that he went without many things a child shouldn't. He didn't have a BAD childhood, but a lacking one.
Lol he grew up to be a hero and had friends and had a great future. But is selfish enough to cry about his childhood that is in the past. live in the present not the past.
How is it an awful show... probably one of the most knowledgeable cartoonz to show kids that life is stressful and then alot of teenagers awakenings into the lgbtq world to showcase some of that, the show I honestly better then cartoonz that are just for giggles
Steven’s went through way too much stress and trauma when helping the crystal gems as a kid, and finding out what his mom really was 😞
What was she

I never watched Steven universe but this is literally like my life story
I always thought the dad was either super depressed after loosing Rose or just had some major alcohol/drug issues.

If being homeschooled and living in a RV is considered a bad childhood.

Then SUF was him dealing with the effects of his trauma.
The search bar just chillin at the top 💀
His dad thinking that Steven had it good is so real. Parents often do that.
I had stevens childhood i never went to the docter and then me and my dad were talking in his car and i got mad and the rest is just a blur i feel stevens pain

I’m not like other kids…
I’m a gem🐺😈
I dunno. Greg's parents didn't seem to care about visiting him or writing back.
Sooo many hidden gems
Aint no one talking about "hw to wax chin hairz saflty" 💀

I Cant believe he is blaming his dad when the gems are 90% the problem
Yeah... Besides the whole magical stuff I kinda relate to him
This has me crying . My moms good life and then dragging me away from family at age 7. I never watched these ahows so i thank you
did people not watch the show ? it was pretty obvious he didn’t like his childhood as he got older and more self aware
Why the hell am I the ONLY PERSON that is wondering abt why the search bar said "how to wax chin hairs safetly" and Ashley got a video of Steven's childhood
That's crazy that you didn't pick up on that. it seemed they made it pretty easy to digest for kids. Like evetlrything else
It's the background tabs for me
Is no one seeing what they searched up “how to wax chin hair safely” 😂😂😂😂
Is no one gonna talk abt the search history???😭😭
When you low-key kin Steven bc you just wanted a stable childhood...
The search bar 💀
Is anybody going to talk about the search bar? It literally says how to wax chin hairs safely😂😂😂😂
Nobody:hip I cut my chin I'm scared
one thing that would benefit steven is the wisdom to move on and not begrudge others in his life for what did or did not happen to him
Yeah but he has to come to acceptance about it. He is barely coming to awareness. You can’t ask him to skip all the steps.
Ashley is so pretty! I wanna watch movies with you!

How to what
Growing up is realizing Steven Universe was poorly written and animated (yes you can still like it in spite of its glaring flaws)
Might I ask how it's poorly written?
I might just be blinded by nostalgia, but it seems quite well written to me.
How is it poorly animated? Just because you don't like the style doesn't mean it's bad animation
Steven universe is ass
Ppl watching this show are on the spectrum. Click the three dots then click on do not recommend me this channel
Are you talking about autism or queerness? I don't know. Your afraid of spectrum the DC character?
Not everyone who watches this is on the spectrum dude... And unless u watched the show youd have no idea how crazy his childhood really was
What's your problem with people on the spectrum?
What a crybaby, awful show
How is it an awful show... probably one of the most knowledgeable cartoonz to show kids that life is stressful and then alot of teenagers awakenings into the lgbtq world to showcase some of that, the show I honestly better then cartoonz that are just for giggles
