What does “I’m done with this” mean?

Read the next message before deciding. This made-up conversation shows why a phrase by itself isn’t enough.

What’s missing?

We don’t know what “this” means yet.

It could be a rehearsal, an argument, or something else. Read the next message before drawing a conclusion.

Jordan is talking about rehearsal.

The next message identifies the problem: repeating the same scene. That gives the parent a specific situation to ask about.

Context changes the question.

“What’s making rehearsal frustrating?” follows from what Jordan said. The original phrase alone wouldn’t support that question.
