adults are really out there telling teenagers to “grow up” like that is not literally exactly the primary & inescapable function of being a teenager
#when adults tell a minor to ‘grow up’ what they actually mean is #‘the fact you are still developing is inconvenient to me so I’m going to shame you for it WHILE exerting the social power i hold over you SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE you are still developing’
#like goddamn dude you can’t have it both ways #adults try to take advantage of teenagers by using the fact that they are neither young children nor adults as an excuse to give them the rights of NEITHER group
