#They are not some pest like a rat that suddenly should gain rights at 18

People are like so mean to kids. Kids don't know something is 'bad' unless you tell them. A five year old won't know not to climb on the bookshelf if you never explain it to them, and then you yell at them just implanting a fear of you and not why it's dangerous to climb bookshelves.

kids won't know that it's wrong to make up a story when stories are being told unless you explain it to them. They just think that cool stories are being shared and they want to have fun too. And when you accuse them of something malicious they probably will just stop talking to you about anything.

a baby cries because something is wrong, they’re in pain, they’re scared, they’re overwhelmed. They were born months ago and everything is new and that little injury they are throwing a ‘temper tantrum’ over that you could deal with just fine, is probably the most pain that baby has felt in their life

That 5 year old that won’t shut up during a plane ride has probably never been on a plane before, or if they have it’s been years and years to a toddler is more then half their life span. So seeing the clouds from above is ground breaking and being forced to sit for hours in a uncomfortable seat is something reserved for schools where they have breaks to go play. But there are no breaks on planes, only people they can tell are angry with them but they don’t know why and mom and dad are shoving a iPad in their face now

that teen that is ‘cringe’ is just trying to figure out how to be a person without their parents right there. They just discovered this thing they really like, and other people who really like it. Of course they aren’t gonna be normal. Why tf are you bullying a 13 year old girl for making a Mary sue at your old age anyway? Why is it such a issue is a teenager has a op oc they rp with in a discord server with other teenagers?

the fact that people think kids should just know these things and shame kids for not is insane to me. If you don’t explain the concept of money, but do show them how to use your credit cards, they will buy a 500 dollar purse cause it’s pretty and they don’t know better.

not even talking about how most children will have a mental health issue or disorder that is undiagnosed and treated as disobedience, that makes people mask so much that they don’t get help as adults. So that 10 year old girl who won’t sit still while her math professor keeps going on and on about a topic she couldn’t care less about might have something else going on, or she doesn’t and is just a kid. Both are valid and not your business.

you are a adult. They are a child with basically no rights and are legally owned by their parents. You should know better.
