After going through your list, I wonder if you include yourself in the depressing adult world you describe. Or reflect on how your own world views might be an issue too.
- version_five 4y agoIgnoring the condescending tone here, I'd guess the GP probably would describe himself as part of the depressing adult world. I'd consider the full scope of what all of us (adults) are up to as the adult world. And one of our responsibilities is to shield kids from it and ease them into it slowly. Society is set up that way, and we have the concept of a minor for good reason. I don't think my list would be exactly the same as the GP's list, but the point I think is that kids are less shielded from the full bore of life right now and are worse off for it.
- fredoliveira 4y agoI appreciate you calling out my tone – it was condescending. I was irked by the list I was replying to. > but the point I think is that kids are less shielded from the full bore of life right now I feel like that's putting a comment which includes shockers like "Stop raising low-income kids with high-income kids" in a much more positive light than it deserves, but we all have different perspectives on this stuff. I do agree with what you are saying, but not with it being a possible interpretation of the ideas GP is putting out there ;-)
