      @@kil-roy Nah, nothing cool was affordable unless you were rich. Ever looked up electronic or computer prices from that time? Practically a thousand dollar paper weight unless you read a 100 page book on how BASIC coding works. People now think the prices were decent, when with inflation these things took weeks or months to save up for. The 90's practically cut those numbers in half, while also having computers that had decent operating systems.
      I know it's not all about electronics, but it's a glimpse in to expenses and that not everything was perfect in the now over-glamourized 80's.

    So if you kept your kids at home, you would lose money because you had to feed them. But by lending your kids out, you can feed these other kids less food. Wouldn’t a parent realize that if they themselves had gone through this starvation period that they would have known how uncomfortable it was, since it happened to them? And, wouldn’t it simply have been easier to just starve your own kids and not put them through this? I don’t get why this benefited anyone. Unless the kids learned a skill during this time that could then be used once they come back.

      Well yes it is. The idea of being a teenager is a very recent one. In the medieval period you were a child, and then you became an adult. They didn't have the conception of "being a teenager". However physically speaking everyone has a period in their life when they go through puberty and their age is in the teens. Even if there was no concept of it back then.

However there is no proof that Mary and that most Jewish girls in ancient Israel married at 12-13. Heck doing a lot of research written evidence suggest 15-16 was the age most girls married.

There's no place for them to hang out anymore, people treat the great ones like shit, they're "too old" for childish things and adults rag on them 24-7 for ANYTHING. "ACT YOUR AGE" but then they still treat them like children- NOTE, this is for the GOOD teens and not the hooligans you're describing. Basically, its not a shocker when teens turn hooligan or completely socially isolationist.
      Even now I get mistaken for a teenager (I'm 24 and very babyfaced, I get mistaken for 16 on the regular and I am constantly scrutinized and ID'checked) and people treat me nastily if they see me going about my business, and I don't do shit. All I have to do is *exist* in a public place and older adults take issue with me, because they THINK I'm a teen.

    The Middle Ages must've been Hell for teenagers who had neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD and so on.
    Still, if I was born in the Middle Ages and survived to be a teenager, I'd like to be apprenticed by a craftsman or artisan, maybe even join a guild.

    • @matthewjohns1758
      @matthewjohns1758 ปีที่แล้ว

      @garyallen8824I have to agree with you. In one study it was found that the majority of medieval children died by drowning usually in a Pool or the long ditches that surrounded each plot of land and usually in their own land. An autistic or ADHD child would most probably be killed this way basically because children weren’t really watched.

      Actually, we were still quite common even back then. The more extreme of us were labeled as "changelings" aka fairy babies switched at birth. Most people with conditions actually had it a LOT better back then because there was not a lot of overstimuli to result in stuff like meltdowns. Worst case scenario you were shipped off to a convent/monastery. Natural lighting, rural living, ect, any neurodivergent traits were not exasperated by stress. Sometimes you'd get a "Oh that's Jonathan, he doesn't speak a word but he tends to the sheep very well" Autistic and other neurodivergencies were actually super useful.
      Given that I've been autistic all my life and lived REALLY rural, you wouldn't have known I'd have it (and low functioning no less) besides from my lack of being verbal, no eye contact and not liking being touched. As soon as we moved to a city, oh yeah, it became EXTREMELY apparent that I had autism because the added stimuli overwhelmed me and stressed me out and exasperbated my condition.
