Friends til the end Community Group
A group for those of us here who get more from our friendships than from the available discussion groups. A place to be accepted and appreciated for who we are. Somewhere to always feel safe and know that especially on the bad days we are here for each other .A place for encouragement and love.
I commented on a post talking about my research on a topic.
Someone later posted that my post shouldn't be validated because a child was posting it.
I am a child but MY opinion and MY research and MY beliefs DO matter. My mom helped with the research and she has been doing it for years. Almost my entire life.
It really hurts when adults demorilize children's opinions, thoughts, research, actions, etc. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE CHILDREN.
To quote my sister's favorite singer:
"Just cause we’re young
Doesn’t mean that we’re stupid
Doesn’t mean we’ll get through it
Theres nothing to it
Just cause we’re young
Doesn’t mean that we’re crazy
Doesn’t mean that we’re lazy
And maybe just maybe
We’ll light it up"
Our voices DO matter in this society and if adults don't listen or validate our generation, THIS COUNTRY WILL FAIL.
There are smart kids in the world designed for greatness who are being held back because of adults.
My half-nephew (6) learned how to read and count when he was 2 and is very good at it, but my half-sister put him in a Kindergarten class which is completely holding him back. He has a really hard time focusing on learning what he already knows what to do.
Please listen to us. We deserve a voice and do not deserve what adults are doing now.
Please don't take this as an insult or just a kid ranting off.
Maybe I am just a kid ranting off because someone insulted me, but I'm trying to spread awareness towards the demorilization that adults are doing towards children who could actually help make the world a whole lot brighter.
Please take us seriously. We claim the rights and priveleges of free speech and taking charge of OUR life.
Maybe, just maybe, we are saying something smart.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Yes children of course have value and are intelligent, creative beings. But don’t mistaken that for real life experience or maturity.
I think if you want to be taken seriously, maybe accept that people may challenge you or say things you may not like and learn to be ok with that. That’s going to happen even in adulthood.
