What is neglect? When no one gives a fuck about you. When you feel alone. When you call your mother for some sweet words but you never get that. When you try so hard to get your sister's approval. When you try so hard to get your mother's approval. Neglect is by definition failing to care for something properly, something or someone. When you need a friend who hugs you. When you need a friend who listens to you. That is neglect.
