19-year-old daughter throws away $306 worth of her parents' food because of their "disgusting" kitchen hygiene: 'They treat me like a villain just because I’m using my education to keep us safe'

Sometimes you learn something you wish you could unlearn. Life is full of these kinds of moments. For example, I wish I never learned about microplastics. Now I'm thinking about them all the time, even though there is very little I can do about them. Now I just have low-grade fear every time I drink out of a plastic water bottle or use a plastic cutting board. But knowledge is power at the end of the day, and it's better for us to be informed than ignorant.

But what if you're the one with the burden of information? Is it on you to make everyone's lives a little bit safer, even if that means making them a little bit worse? That's the situation this young woman found herself in after coming home from college. As many who come home from college do, she was filled with new ideas and information that she wanted to impart to her family. The trouble was, they weren't quite ready to hear it. So she acted out in ways that she might have come to regret.
