In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia two weeks ago, a group of adults running a public meeting created a blueprint for how to belittle, betray and dismiss kids.
It’s the usual “positions of power attract the worst people” kind of deal. It’s awful to think that this also applies to the people overseeing children.
Unfortunately many adults like to pick on teenagers because it makes them feel powerful and smart and they can tell themselves it’s for the kids’ good. It’s why even nearing 30 I generally support a form of youth liberation. Tempered from my 16 year old desires to do whatever I wanted, but hardened by my witnessing the sheer idiocy of over sheltered 20 year olds making decisions that would’ve been much less damaging a few years younger.
“Why do younger generations have such hatred for old people??” I wonder grandma, I wonder. I really don’t find it that hard to not do this sort of thing
What the fuck?
