Yes, we all agree children and teenagers do stupid shit. Since we all acknowledge it, can we be mature about it and not "haunt" people with it?

- Fnoord 7y agoEasy to say as a bystander. What if its you kid who's being bullied or who got bullied? What are you gonna do about it? My other post in this thread addresses that point [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20162590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20162590
- rootlocus 7y agoI'm sorry, but these kind of straw men are making discussions on the subject impossible. I argued that we shouldn't judge adults based on the stupid things they did as children. > Do we really want to be haunted by our past in such a way? To which my reply was: let's be mature about it and not care about trivialities from someone's past. Now you change the subject to: "What if its you kid who's being bullied or who got bullied?". My kid being bullied "right now" is not the same as "my kid did some stupid shit 10 years ago and people are making fun of him now because of it". This is another problem with another solution, and it's not something I argued about.
