I don't fucking understand adults who think making fun of a kid will help
You told a kid they were "emo" or "too sensitive" for not liking being touched? Congratulations!! They are now unable to set boundaries and say when something makes them uncomfortable because they're scared to be made fun of
You make fun of a kid in class for asking "dumb" question? Now they don't speak at all and prefers having bad grade than to ask stuff to better understand because they know the teacher will mock them!
Seriously. Make your brains work for one fucking time

So I was talking about Duty After School with my older sister who loves romance dramas and really can't watch gory stuff but listens when I ramble about the action and thriller stuff I watch and get obsessed with
At first she really didn't understand why these kids would sign up for military training and stuff but then when I told her "oh you know how they have the SATs in Korea? The government promised all the kids that sign up extra points and stuff"
and she was like "I'm pretty sure they used a similar tactic in world war 1 or I think 2... either one, to get people to sign up"
and honestly, that's crazy

Solitaire makes people like me feel seen a great amount. I mean, it really just shows how much someone can struggle, yet despite every sign- it is constantly ignored. Like Mr Kent, who didn't exactly ask Tori if everything was alright, he just assumed she had only just given up on school, which is why her grades are so low compared to the year before. To a certain level - yes, Tori had "given up." But it was so much more beyond that. She was tired, depressed and struggling, and he hadn't even asked. Only gave the worst of advice anyone could give to someone struggling. Sure, he probably hadn't known even if these were obvious signs of someone with depression- but he didn't even *ask*. And another thing - her parents. Quite literally the blindest people, or rather careless, I've seen. Tori, who spends her days sleeping or staying in bed, never of a seemingly good mood, monotonous, and simply disinterested in *life*, was never suspected of depression. They have Charlie, who he himself struggles with mental disorders, but it seems that they never learned to look for signs. To try to understand. To try to help. The only people who sort of noticed were Charlie and Michael. Only two fucking people. No one else fucking cared, I swear. It was all about that she didn't try. That she didn't put enough effort. That she didn't do this and this and this. When she was trying so hard- so fucking damn hard- to be fucking alive.

I literally just exist and teenagers like me, because I'm nice to them without bullshit. It breaks my heart a lil every time one expresses gratitude for me just treating them like a person. Last time it was just me telling a dude on twitter to stop bullying a disabled 16yo, this time I just told a girl on reddit that I was sorry she had to deal with her brother's inappropriate behavior. I legally have a child bc when I was 20 a 15yo coworker latched onto me and I ended up doing more to support them than their parents did. A similar phenomenon happens with younger kids but I interact with them less, a former professor's toddler loves me bc I understood and respected him when I babysat. Why is everyone so shitty to children??????

I think parents should:
a) stop shaming their kid whenever they can’t do anything “right” when really their kid is just confused and tired
b) stop putting kids down for not being what they wanted them to be (which is a mature adult)
c) not put all the weight to care for any younger siblings or the whole family on a kid (making breakfast, giving them a bath, etc.)
and d) have a brain, talk about if you should have a kid or not, consider if you are both in a good financial, physical and mental state to care for one (or even more), Consider if you have the time and patience for them as well
Please stop having kids just because or so they can “take care of your when youre old” or whatever bullshitt because in the end we’ll most likely just leave you to die

it's actually really weird to me that a lot of adults don't seem to remember the worst bits of being a child. were you not horribly aware of when adults were talking down to you as a child? don't you remember how little autonomy you were allowed, even when it came to things that seemed pretty harmless? don't you remember the times when adults would seemingly be assholes to you for no reason? even if you had nice and reasonable parents, didn't you ever have teachers or other adults in power who treated you disrespectfully? didn't it sting no matter how people justified it?
especially when I was a teenager, it seemed obvious to me & to most of my peers when an adult wasn't treating us with respect. you could almost smell it, in certain classrooms. there would be this palpable, shifting undercurrent of teenage dissatisfaction whenever some teachers started talking. and it made a lot of the kids act out! which of course made the teachers try to exert their power, which never worked because nobody respected them, which made them get more draconian, etc.
as a teen, I didn't really get why my peers and I seemingly had a superhuman sense for when an adult was on a power trip. but now I think I get it. kids are systematically denied autonomy, respect, and consistently have the validity of their experiences denied. like, flat-out. they're a vulnerable class of people made even more vulnerable by their lack of societal rights. being disrespected as a kid is so frequent that I would say it's a defining experience for most children. is it any wonder they tend to pick up on when an adult doesn't see them as worth listening to?
so yeah, of course a ton of kids want to be treated "like an adult." to them, that's synonymous with being treated like a human being worth listening to. it's up to you, as an adult, to understand that wish for what it is, and behave accordingly. you don't gotta be a child psychologist. you don't gotta be perfect at it. all you have to do is remember how painful adult disrespect could be when you were a kid & do your best to act with some compassion.

batfam fanfic writers love to use the time jason broke into titan tower as a vehicle for angst but they never include the fact that he did it in an adult sized robin costume. where is your appreciation for the lamest thing hes ever done
