It seems so many children are treated cruelly in the name of "discipline" and "raising them right." Some politicians even favor stricter or equal penalties for child and adult law-breakers.
This is a shame, as the time for learning is especially strong as a child. That's when it's, obviously, okay to fuck up: They're still learning!
Kids are told that strict discipline is important so they will "know how to act as an adult," and when they reach adulthood is "when they can make their own choices."
However, it seems when someone turns 18, they are automatically expected to immediately "act like an adult."
When is it ever appropriate to have fun and be a kid?
