not being able to curse at school is such puritan bullshit istg
zero patience for "irreversible damage" rhetoric because like... parents are allowed to do all kinds of other irreversible body modification to their kids and nobody gives a fuck. you can pierce your kid's ears, you can sign them up for a sport that will injure them for life, you can provide or withhold medical care like vaccines according to whatever whims you like. i've mentioned this before but my mom forced me to get laser hair removal done on my legs when i was a teenager because my body wasn't mine, the way i chose to upkeep it was a reflection on her. "irreversible damage" is very much part and parcel of the broader belief that parents own their children's bodies.
i have a suggestion
One discussion I had with someone's mother recently, who was fairly transphobic. She went like: "I have read some of those trans groups were also pushing for kids to be able to sue their parents if those were not supporting their transition, going so far that kids should be able to sue their parents out of their custody! How can anyone want that?!"
And I am sitting there like: "... acctually I think ALL CHILDREN should be able to do that no matter the context. Parents should not be able to OWN children. Abusive parents do not deserve custody, PERIOD."
school is meant to, and does make us, forget who we are and our self worth.
84 NOTES BRO 😵
people are resonating with what i'm saying 🥹 that means something to me 🫡
Don’t let school chain your spirit. Resist.
you cant ever let yourself forget what it felt like to be 15. how adults treated you. being treated without a shred of respect because people think youre too young to have thoughts and feelings of your own. the lack of autonomy. you cant ever forget that because if you do you might become the kind of adult who treats kids like theyre not people
lets go younger and say you must never forget what it was like to be 4-11 years old. I would argue children that age get hit the hardest by adultism, since they are subject to more contempt, restrictions, and violence. Corporal punishment and violent discipline tend to be inflicted mostly upon this age group, 4-11 year olds may not have the same rights like privacy or Internet access that 13-16 year olds may have. And when adults say bigoted shit like "i hate kids" or "dont be so childish/immature" or "stop acting like a child," most often 4-11 year olds come to mind. Im not trying to say 15 year olds or teens in general have it easy. This is absolutely no excuse for the discrimination they go through like emotional invalidation, censorship, sleep deprivation, pointless compulsory school hours and homework, being dismissed as "rebellious/bratty/hormonal/immature" and all that. But i feel like it helps to call attention to specific child age groups that are impacted disproportionately by adultism.
can't fucking believe this has finally gone into effect for me.
people love to mock the youth liberation movement with "ha ha you think bedtimes are oppressive" and mainly I think the response of "we weren't actually talking about that, dumbass" is the right way to go, but also...it is genuinely fucking weird that we don't let children listen to their bodies about when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. and the main reason you hear is that it's "preparing them for the real world", i.e. for the fact that as adults they will also not be able to listen to their bodies about when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. because if they can't force their circadian rhythm to match up with the arbitrary demands of a job they'll end up with no home or food or medical care, which like. yeah. is oppressive.
“Children don’t need to earn their humanity. Children aren’t humans in training, they are humans right now. They’re not waiting to live their life, this is part of their life in this moment. Society treats children as though they’re preparing for a time where they’re allowed respect – and not before then. Until that time it’s acceptable to treat them as sub-human under the guise of parenting and education. For many, parenting is synonymous with punishment and learning is synonymous with schooling which are both so far off the mark. This all comes down to childism and it is so deeply sewn into the fabric our society. So much so that talking about it creates such cognitive dissonance that I know I’ll get defensive, even angry comments sharing these thoughts. People who genuinely respectfully parent and speak up for the injustices towards kids are so often ridiculed. Like I’ve said in the past, I don’t want to be viewed as a ‘good parent’ by a society that thinks so little of children.”

i hate parents that treat their kids like shit and then have the audacity to ask for respect
june '24 me was really upset at adultism. i'd make so many posts talking against it with the little knowledge i had.
I hate these shit ideas people have about “life experience”. Just because you’re old doesn’t mean you know shit. I’ve had old white people talk down to me about race because “life experience”. Old cishet people talk down to me about being queer because “life experience”. Old allistic people talk down to me about autism because “life experience”. You have your own experiences, I have mine! Experience isn’t just a bar that fills up as you go like a fucking video game! You don’t know shit about my “life experience”!
I don't think that it's normal to have humans "running away" from other humans. Running usually indicates there's something bad behind you that you want to get away from.
Why are children and enslaved people given the same adjective when it comes to leaving a place. Can we talk about this whole concept please I have concerns-
so basically i was put in a psychiatric hospital for not going to school. for 91 days.
still the right decision i made tho cuz now i don't live with my mom anymore :)
im so tired of walking on eggshells.
im so tired of having to stay silent today against my delusional bitch abuser bc I though it was the best way to protect my peace, not realizing she genuinely knows no boundaries against me who she enslaves. and won't start to when she's in an abusive position of power where no one makes her take accountability, and everyone either shamelessly fucking agrees with her or "has" to.
im typing rn on my computer she didn't notice, so if she takes it cuz I'm tired of hiding it so fucking much i REALLY won't b able to post again until i manifest myself out of here.
There’s nothing more triggering than scrolling through comments on a random video on Instagram (not even related to religion) and seeing the Lord’s Prayer. It’s my biggest trigger and I instantly felt physically sick just seeing it. People who spam comments like that are the fucking worst, especially in spaces where religion isn’t even relevant.
