@Iwillwait Hmm not a bad question, lol. Surprisingly or not I never liked purple that much even though in theory it's similar to blue and green, as they're the 3 "cool colors" as opposed to the 3 "warm colors" in red, yellow, and orange.
Purple always felt to me like an inferior blue for some reason. And at times blue and purple were somewhat hard to decipher due to colors like "indigo" existing, even being considered a color of the rainbow with the "ROY G BIV" acronym to describe the colors of the rainbow, the I in BIV standing for indigo.
My top 5 colors for me today would be um...the first 2 remain consistent, though the other 3 may change, but from most favorite to least favorite, the top 5 are: green, blue, black, white, and red. So purple doesn't even break the top 5, lol. Though it probably would make the top 10 at least if I kept going.

@Iwillwait Hmm, not bad, though then again I think all colors are beautiful in their own way, lol. Even "boring" ones people tend to dislike like brown and/or beige.
As for yours, we have matches in blue, green, and black, yes...that's a 3/5 match, or 60%, lol.
Though I think pink and purple are nice colors as well. Not my immediate favorites, but they're nice. I probably would prefer purple over pink, lol. Though certain things look really good in pink and wouldn't look good in any other color.

How old where you when you realized that? That is brave of you to share.
For me, I can think of several things. But one is the thing that happened in grade 4.
A cousin of mine received money to do a home economics project for me. So then I brought her work to school.
My parents always taught me not to lie. So when my teacher asked "Who did your project?", I didn't even hesitate and said my sister did. XD
Apparently, my other classmate had his project done by his brother and copied my honesty. I kinda felt bad after that. I inspired him to do the right thing...but yeah, you can imagine our grades lol.
So I got to go home and tell how things went to my parents and they were dumbfounded. XD

@Casheyane I shared the age in the main post, but I'm assuming you only read the TL;DR, right? Wouldn't blame you either was the main post is rather long, haha. So the situtation took place when I was 7 years old in 1st grade. I spent a year desperately trying to change my favorite color from blue to green just to please him. By 8 years old in 2nd grade I had successfully changed my favorite color to green...only for him to change it to blue. So to answer your question, I was 8, lol.
But anyway, as for your story, yeah, that is pretty funny, lol. While in general honesty is a good thing, too much of it can be bad in some situations. When in this case the too much honesty was right, as you have to do your own work at school. If you don't do your own work you're gonna be in a world of pain when you get to like college and stuff, lol.
Kind of funny the exact same thing happened to your classmate, lol. What a fucking coincidence, lmfao.

Having a physical condition I was born with which required painful surgery and that which will never be truly fixed taught me lessons.
And having a very mentally unstable dad and autistic mother and brother, which lead to major abuse and neglect against me taught me some things, too

@Therealsteve Ouch, holy shit, I'm sorry you had to go through all that! But yeah, I can see how painful experiences can teach you many lessons. I have heard a phrase that was something like when people are in comfort, they learn nothing. But when they're struggling they learn more. But even if that is true nobody deserves to go through what you did.
My story has been pretty rough too I'd say. Compared to yours, hard to say, different people deal with pain in different ways. But I'm basically EXTREMELY mentally ill, and have been since I was a little kid, though it gradually got way worse with age.
I've literally lost count of all the stuff I've been diagnosed with, but some include Bipolar Type 1, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), etc. I wish I was making this all up. I've also tried to kill myself many, many times in the past. At one point I was trying to kill myself every single day for like an entire year. So it was like well over 365 times total.
I don't know if I'd say my parents were abusive per se, but there's the saying I think applies to them, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." They've been in severe denial that I've had ANY mental illness for like the longest, and even after all the diagnoses they still seem to somewhat believe that it's mainly just laziness and me acting out for attention. They just weren't prepared for a mentally ill kid. And though it's relatively obvious they care for me and want the best for me, they'd give me all the external stuff I'd need, like food, water, shelter, toys, candy, computers, clothes, etc...but they were never able to satisfy me internally, emotionally. They never really outwardly said they loved me or anything.
So all in all my parents had good intentions but were just straight up dumb and clueless when it came to actual parenting. They gave me all I need but never stopped to think why I was struggling so much emotionally, mentally, academically, etc. They basically thought everything would resolve on its own without help.
That's how my story went. Not to necessarily say the pain is comparable to yours, but I also went through rough shit that taught me rough lessons. Mainly about showing empathy/sympathy for people. You never know anyone's true story. When a person is acting out in any way there could be a much deeper reason behind it.

@twistedrope Ah yeah. A lot of people are parents only to meet a certain quota. Just so they can say they reached a certain milestone. They don't truly want to be parents, for them it's just: "Yes! We're parents now! Now we have children to carry on our legacy when we die! Now all of our friends and acquaintances can see that we were able to have children, and they won't discriminate against us for not having children by a certain age! Yessss!"
They also expect their children to just simply be extensions of themselves. They don't expect or want their children to be their own people with their own interests. And they say shit like bragging about "I take care of my kids!" or "I never signed up for this shit!" And it's like first of all, you're SUPPOSED to take care of your kids, you're not going above and beyond, you're doing the bare minimum! And second, this is EXACTLY what you signed up for! Don't become parents if you can't handle the work that comes with it!
But yeah. A lot of parents are just horrible. They only have children because: "It's just what you do. It's a phase of life. You go to school when you're young. Then get a job. Then marry. Then have kids. Then grow old and eventually retire. Having kids is just part of that." And like..."it's just what you do" is a HORRIBLE reason for having children... 🤦
