It's called "parenting" which is not in vogue right now. Currently, people treat children like adults, expecting them to navigate the world as an adult would, and that's dumb.

Reject a failed society. It's okay to be an individual, you don't need to be part of the collective.



I think we have different definitions of treating children like adults. It seems to me like they are barely treated as people.

Yes, parenting is not in vogue, and that's the problem. People do not know how to parent. It almost seems like many people are treating them like pets.


They treat them like adults if the adults are prisoners essentially.


Do they? I keep hearing how college age students are β€œcoddled” and the whole helicopter parenting thing. Your comment is the first time I saw the opposite view expressed in a while.


This is called victim blaming.
