If you want more childfree spaces, you HAVE to give more places where children can actually hang out in. There are barely any places left for children and teens to hang out at because of the decline of third places. I feel like my generation (Gen Z) have the worst teen life years because literally all the third places are dead. No more malls, movie theaters are too expensive, you'll literally get kicked out from loitering in public areas. Even on the internet most children hang out spaces are infested with gross and inappropriate adults.
yes exactly, i'm glad i'm not alone on this. i don't want to be stuck in my house all day but spending time outside is expensive and if you're not paying they don't want you there. it happens more with teenagers, because they assume we're up to no good but like no i just want to be outside of my house. it's dehumanizing and isolating really.
@@LiterallyInklingGirl yes, as someone who wanders around malls after closing. my friends and i don't go there to do drugs, sex, etc.... we honestly just go because those places are the only places we can go where we don't have to spend money or get kicked out
I mean maybe to you there’s barely any places lol arcades and roller skating rings, and malls are still open I’ve even went to concerts with my friends
The opposition to the “I’m tired of kids acting like blah blah blah” is that lots of kids are tired of the world treating them like they’re less than and not able to make decisions for themselves. Believe it or not, many kids are very intelligent and able to pick up on behavior from adults that’s highly disrespectful or even abusive 🤷♀️
They make fun of kids fun for acting 'cringe' then say kids don't act like kids they growing up to fast same old same old act your age bs and then act surprised when then want to be older
Rant : you don't have to read this,😭 I remember taking you're so mature as a compliment oh and by the way saw this post a few minutes ago where they were comparing kids today playing with makeup vs teens acting like kids which some one said kids want to be older and teens act like kid which to that I think is wrong some of us didn't get to have a childhood and especially with quarantine cooping everyone inside I think it good that people still play with dolls and act like 'kids' because no one said when you grow up you have to stop. By the way there's nothing really wrong with children playing with makeup either girl or boy it's literally good that they are curious and willing to experiment we still have toy makeup and did we just forget teens went through a whole that girl it girl self-care glowup beauty hacks.
The rage I feel towards people who make fun of children for being children then make fun of them when they stop acting childish to not get picked on is immeasurable
Hi, I'm a "child" (young teenager). I attend a lot of parties with a lot of elderly african women. They like to push me around, LITERALLY. They will shove past me. I was at my aunts wedding, and a women pushed me to the side where I then fell over. The amount of times where i've been told to "stay in a child's place," or to clean up a mess that is not mine is insane. I'm tired, I'm sick of it. I love being a kid, and I want to enjoy the carefreeness of it, but people WON'T LET ME. And then as soon as I start maturing as a result all of the aunties think I'm "trying to be fast."
As a retail employee, I can CONFIDENTLY say that people over 50 are infinitely more terrible than the screaming children. They are rude, entitled, and judgmental, while kids are just kids. The older folks don’t have an excuse.
I worked at Wal-Mart at the service desk and an old man threw his package of cookies on the floor and jumped up and down on them because I was helping another customer. He wanted to exchange them. Instead of waiting like a grown-up, he destroyed his cookies. He had no cookies, nor his money. He had to be in his 70s. It was wild.
When kids are rude, entitled, and judgemental, it's because they're being the most honest versions of themselves and haven't fully learned how to control, direct, or express their thoughts, language, and feelings. It's all a part of growing up and learning to be social. When adults are rude, entitled, and judgemental, it's either they haven't developed those skills or they're doing it intentionally to hurt someone and make them feel bad Hope you enjoyed my on-the-spot opinion I spent 5 minutes on 😅
as someone who works in a grocery store, kids are the least annoying part of my job. the most annoying part are the middle aged people who complain about everything, including those kind of people who come up to me to be like "kids am i right" and expect me to be a hater with them the best part about my job is helping kids even. they come up to me to ask me for something and everytime when i'm done helping them the parent(s) will say "and what do you say to the nice lady", and the kid will tell me "thank you". those moments make my day because it's a break from the 3 people in a row asking me to speak to the manager
I remember this so vividly when I was healthy enough to work. I'd be pricing products (retail whee) and someone would come up to me because a child would be talking. Just talking. Same thing. Same exact comment. KIDS AM I RIGHT? Oh wow the child is communicating with his parents if he wants a shirt with Ninja Turtles or a generic truck, wow that is just RUINING your day, Karen. Get outta here with that!
Counterpoint: Autism. I literally feel physical pain around sudden, or unpredictable loud noises. Not just the sounds above 140 decibels that actually cause bodily harm if you're too close to the source. Which is all kids are for like the first twelve years of their lives until reality starts to properly kick them in the teeth and they learn that 'Huh, screaming at the top of my lungs everywhere I go when I don't get my way, isn't the best way to make people like me, GO FIGURE!'
I’ve recently been suspended from my job at a grocery store for unrelated reasons, but I honestly thought kids were the best part of the job. Seeing their smiles when they got to use the machine made my day better every time. Seeing them being helpful to their parents always made me feel better, if not a little sad because they should just sit back and let the professional do the work. This is H-E-B after all, not Nike. What always disappointed me however was the amount of kids just sitting in the kid cart on their iPad. Just sitting there watching Cocomelon or Skibidi toilet or whatever kids watch nowadays. I liked the kids who interacted with me and their parents, the ones who I could tell are being raised right and are going to look back on their childhood memories fondly.
as a teen, i appreciate workers that enjoy helping kids, cuz i need it sometimes 😭😭 recently, me and a friend were trying to buy a birthday present with a gift card at a self checkout, and we were whisper-yelling at each other since we were struggling to figure out how to use a card. i ended up realizing we probably looked like we were stealing or something, imagine two teenagers hovering over a self checkout counter whispering worriedly😭😭 i had to convince my friend to let me ask the worker for help, and when i did she laughed and walked us through the steps, it was kinda embarrassing, but i appreciated it:))
Child free grocery stores? So they want people to leave thier kids in the car? Or at home unattended? Someone just got arrested at my grocery store for leaving her kids in the car at 88 degree weather
literally just go to a different store tf? nobody is saying to leave your kids in a car 💀💀 why are you acting like they HAVE to go to that specific store
There's a store my mom frequents that has a child play place incorporated where a nanny stays to watch the kids. Pretty awesome. Definitely think more stores should have that kind of thing. Children need places to be children!!!
@@Im_NotSureI don't understand where the parent is supposed to go to not slightly inconvenience people. Every store has people to potentially inconvenience? And a lot of the people (that would be in these widely accessible stores) don't have the means to just leave their kids at home /nm
@@Im_NotSuresaying grocery stores should be child free is just RIDICULOUS. grocery stores are huge and if you have a problem with kids in them then go to a different place in the store where the kids aren’t?
The worst part is when adults take over spaces for kids and make it unsafe for them, only for other adults to validate the behavior because it's "funny". Then complain when kids are annoying them spaces not designed for kids. For example: I love kid friendly games and try to keep my behavior as tame as possible/help the kids get cool items in the game intended for them... But other adults have made it their quest to take over sites like Webkinz and Neopets with inappropriate pet names, outfits, and behavior. Then get mad when an actual kid is having fun on the kid friendly website and say it should be their site now.
Feel the same way about chuck e cheese like when they brought in alcohol and all of the sudden adults are sneaking it in and drinking excessively making the place so unsafe
@@Pleiades21 when people go into places like that and act so badly it just makes me wonder why they're there? If it's nostalgia, shouldn't they be acting the way they would as a kid and keep it as pure as their memories??? I can never understand people sometimes.
I remember I went to this place that had two pools, one was by the bar (so it was for adults) and one was just a normal pool. So naturally the kids played in the normal pool. But then other adults started taking over the normal pool and drinking there too and would call the lifeguards anytime a kid would jump into the pool because it was getting them wet. Well no duh you’re at a pool 🤦♀️. There’s nowhere for kids to just exist and just be kids anymore it’s so sad.
that's true. but how do u know that it isn't teens that are doing that too? that feels like common teenage behavior especially like being 15 and calling an obvious 9 yr old cringey. having a sexualized name/outfit or something edgy, gives more older teenager vibes. not middle aged adult
I absolutely hate those people who hate kids for no reason. I always hear people complain about how kids don’t act like kids anymore but when kids actually act like kids, they get harassed for acting like kids. Like LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE
I agree. I also used to be one of those people. I started to hate other children as a symptom of my own abuse, and it was only after a major family tragedy that I was given the mental health support I needed. So I understand the frustration. And I understand that those people are responsible for dealing with their trauma. But that's just it- they're probably highly traumatized and they won't just listen to us without professional help😢
i don’t like kids because of their personalities. (I’m 15, and when I say kids I’m just generalizing people between the ages of 4-10) i find them mean, annoying and immature. i know they’re still learning the way of the world, but it’s just my personal preference and there’s nothing wrong with it.
I mean, kids can't really be kids at school either. School is where we send kids to learn to NOT be kids: to not question authority, to not be curious, to not be empathetic, to not be creative...to not be human, essentially. Hell, these days they have cops in schools, too! 🤦🏾♀️ And can kids still really be kids at home? Not a whole lot of people even have homes anymore, they're stuck in apartments...pretty sure the people living beneath them don't want a whole lot of running around in their ceilings... and there really aren't any sidewalks or side streets as much anymore, so say goodbye to bike riding to and from friends' houses all day...
not to mention school is the most likely place that your child will experience bullying for simply existing in that space. that can change their life and behavior dramatically. i completely support online schooling even if it seems "lazy"
@@tc-tm1mymost people don’t really have a whole lot of options where they live but I do agree people need to be more chill when it comes to kids just existing. Some places just have apartments and there’s not really much getting around that. You’re not always going to be able to get into a child free apartment building and stuff.
i think parents forget this. sure, i see other people at school during lunch. but outside of that time i don't get to talk. most importantly i don't get to play around with them during lunch and do fun stuff, i just have to sit down, eat and try to talk.
Anyone that says they’d “drop kick a child” or whatever then turn around and scream social justice just really feels wrong. Anyways commenting this before I finish the video, I’m glad more people are talking about this because seeing all the hatred towards children is just icky.
It's like when people joke about other marginalized groups and hating them but say oh it's fine because I'm XYZ. No you have internalized hate due to trauma, likely from when you were a child. I don't tell my fellow bisexuals we're just disgusting whores but "haha I'm joking" because no, this is STILL painful years later. I believe that we can joke about our pain but there's a limit. We're not kids anymore and I can joke about how I wasn't allowed to be a kid when I should have... but that's not with violence towards children and "oh it's a joke". I think we need to reevaluate ourselves as a society YET AGAIN and retire this.
@@saltydinonuggies1841 “stay in a child’s place” too idk why people are trying to uphold this VERY old fashioned thinking I’ve only seen this play in out period dramas that take places in the 1900s or sum shit
some old (thank god) friends would get so pissed off when i would mention smth like "my nephew is learning to talk now!!" and would say "babies should die" LIKE HUH. how did we jump to there. what chemical imbalance is in your brain.
So I'm someone who has a huge morbid curiosity and has seen a shit ton of disturbing things in media, but the one thing that I just cannot stand or handle in any way shape or form is violence against babies/pregnant women (esp as someone who might have fertility problems and really wants to have kids of her own) You'd think I wouldn't need to tell people that I hate that shit, right? Nope, edgy pieces of shit on the internet would beg to differ. Ugh.
Your old friends sound kinda psychotic... That is crazy how you happily bring up how your baby nephew learned to talk and then they immediately go into saying that babies should all die.
Hating kids is so stupid because there’s so many adults that are horrible and actively making our world worse, but instead people choose to ridicule kids who haven’t even been here long enough to do anything wrong. If we want to actually make our world a better place maybe we SHOULDNT shame the children who are our future
for no reason of course because after a certain age they CAN tell things from bad or good It is just kids are NEVER born bad They get RUINED by OTHERS(usually by adults)
As someone under 13, I was forced to mature at a younger age because of my parents. They kept telling me to act like an adult, and they literally hit me for everything I did wrong, and then as I got older they switched up, I don’t get it??
Me, a 13 year old American, watching as my country fucking tears itself apart over whether a guy should be allowed to kiss another guy or not (very important to discuss)
the lack of third places for kids contributes to why there’s such a place for them on the internet. they dont have access to things other than the internet (and other places in public) and when they're able to access it unfiltered at such a young age, that feeds into the "way they're acting." Let kids be kids again bro.
Yeah. If there was a space/place Where older kids and teens could Just hang out in public spaces where they could intermingle. I'm pretty sure so many would be showing up in person to the point where older folks will actually stop complaining.
@@Worm_Void this was me today D: there's not much to do outside that's free. i have a horse, but my mom doesn't like me outside all day with him when it's 105 here. i don't like being online, and i've been playing pickleball but only at night. i wandered around the neighborhood for a few weeks but got followed, harassed and got yelled at for accidentally trespassing on a guy's private parking space. and in general, everytime i'm outside i get judgemental looks from older people. just because i'm a teenager, they assume i'm going to do bad things. i like doing things with friends but they just happen to all be out of town :p i've already seen three movies this week
there was four preteen boys playing at the retail store i work at yesterday. chasing eachother & pushing eachother in carts. i monitored them to make sure they were being safe & polite, but i didn't want to discourage them because there's not a lot of places they can go to play. it's hot as hell, there's fires going on rn, it's so much. i feel bad for them :
I love kids and genuinely think they're super sweet and funny. They're innocent (and deserve to be). I understand people who want child-free places because there are so many places that are way too inappropriate for kids, but hating kids even though they never did anything to you is weird. Kids cry! Kids get stressed! I work at a grocery store, and I hear kids running, crying, and getting overstimulated all the time. However, I am not usually the one that handles that! I get irritated by adults who complain about crying babies in airplanes. Neither the parents nor the babies have control over that. If you're that bothered by it, don't ride a plane. Plus, they're expensive, anyway... Kids need child-friendly zones
I feel the same way! I love kids- it's so amazing to watch this tiny little baby bean become a walking and talking funny little human. The best is seeing them enjoy things for the first time like whrn my baby niece tried pineapple for the first time and her eyes lit up like she just discovered the meaning of life, or when she pronounces words like pomkmiskle (popsicle) or today I taught her to say hi to other kids (we were at a restaurant and she saw this other little girl and they were waving at each other so I walked her over to her family and introduced oursleves) It's one thing to not want the responsibility of having a child (I'm disabled and would be unable to take care of a child beyond simple babysitting) But to actively despise children is just weird.
Being a kid online is a death sentence at this point 1. Content farms 2.grooming 3.child hate 4.Exposure 5.Bullying 6.stalkers who follow you online. (Edit) MOM I’M FAMOUS! 🤩
I know right.. and kids have no choice but to be on the internet since there's no space for them anymore in the real world. I honestly think adults without children should be BANNED from playgrounds. It's not gonna kill them if they go somewhere else..
@@avanikpop This paranoia that any Adult within the presence of children corrupts them goes way too far these days. Society demands we avoid children at all costs or be labeled negatively. As a millennial I give up because civilization is too toxic. Regardless of age the modern world is a dark scary place that we weren't intended for survival in.
Being online has always been unsafe for children, the problem is that the number of places for them in the real world is shrinking rapidly, so more and more children are being lead straight to unsafe parts of the internet.
Something that makes me confused is the fact that when kids act like kids their parents tell them to stop being annoying and behave, and when the kid behaves and stays quiet the parent questions their actions, saying “Hey, enjoy ur childhood while you still can!”
I was a the type of kid that adults used to like for not causing trouble and being silent, but as I grew up I realized that I missed out on many chances at enjoying my childhood just so I could get praised for being a good kid again and again and I regret it so much. I wish I lived. I find myself acting out now as well due to it
I feel like people have forgotten how kids are supposed to act and how they acted as kids. Children obviously shouldn’t be in adult spaces. Trying to ban children from all public spaces however is nuts. Being inconvenienced by a toddler who has like 3 total years of experience won’t kill them. It’s ageism. Like how are the kids supposed to never interact with the public but also have perfect social skills with no mistakes? I don’t understand people saying most spaces are child friendly. Adults are in charge and design for themselves primarily. Children themselves are like an afterthought.
That's a problem with people period. They want people with no experience to have expertise. Yet this reasoning is because of how our school systems are structured it harshly punishes mistakes and doesn't really tell anybody what they're doing wrong until it's WAY too late. Nobody can interact because it "angers" somebody else. Everybody is a creep and should just be quiet. Everybody makes it seems like they're so busy that nobody should be able to talk. Yet they're the first ones the have a fit when there's ANY sort of social awkwardness.
I get so mad when people hate children, especially when the real problem is always parents, the lack of a village, and society in general. Children are a vulnerable class of humans who deserve love and care, not hate and harm.
the village thing is so stupid, like, that’s YOUR kid why should everyone else be expected to take care of it? also, the people who bitch about not having villages probably never contributed to one in the first place, so they have no right to expect anyone to help them
@@Im_NotSure the village doesn't mean we’re all parents it means that when it comes to dangerous/emotional situations we need good community not jaded individualism. Like for example if I saw a kid about to get kidnapped or something I wouldn't just mind my own business I would call the cops. A child who is mistreated by the “village” will burnt it down for warmth. (Village is in quotes because the village is a stand-in for society and the world, tldr the world should be a safe and good place for the growing kids of the future)
a teacher at my school was explaining to us the effects of "safety-ism" on younger generations. because parents have to worry about the many bad people out there, children are no longer allowed to bike to their friends houses or go out and play in the field without supervision. meaning that if there's not a parent that's free to watch you, you can't do anything. this both means children are left isolated from socializing and children don't get any independence at all so they don't get to make decisions for themselves or take small risks. it's a hard thing because on one hand i've firsthand experienced this as a kid and it's lonely and depressing but on the other hand most times i go outside by myself i get followed or harassed.
THANK. YOU. I felt like I was going crazy for thinking that these words like “f*ck trophies”, “c*m pets”, “crotch trolls”, and many more were sooo dehumanizing to children, people online constantly called me “too sensitive” for thinking so
@@estinaviv"Too sensitive" ugh. People need to go outside and interact with other people. Myself included, but still, no one gets to go around calling children "crotch trolls" and then pretending anyone criticizing them is just overly sensitive. It's ironically a childish way of thinking.
There seems to be a growing trend in many countries. For example, here in Finland, some people wish that the children would stay inside, be quiet and sit in their places "like a proper person" instead of screaming and running outside "like children". And these adults are not ashamed to disapprove of this in public and in front of the children. In addition, it seems that many are happy when the police evict children, teenagers and young people from parks, beaches, malls and cafes, so that they "remain quiet and peaceful for the residents of the neighborhood." And then they were surprised when the kids don't want to go out.
@@vonnie0_0Yeah, I always become so confused by how people speak about Finland. They make Finland out to be this perfect utopia with a practically perfect education system, when in reality it isn’t really like that at all. No country is a utopia, including the Nordics.
the whole “crotch goblin” or other dehumanizing names always rubbed me the wrong way. like you know damn well the same people who say these things about kids would swear tooth and nail that they’re against child abuse but would 100% traumatize a child because they think the kid deserves it. edit to yap more about this: to be more specific, im talking about the people who are openly hostile to parents and children. im not talking about the people who just dont wanna be parents. im talking about the people who will specifically exclude family members who have children. i can understand not wanting kids but its a whole different thing when people harass children in public or in their neighborhoods for doing normal kid activities. i feel like its pretty common to know someone or hear someone atleast once make nasty remarks to children and go on to talk about how they want to beat kids for being kids. i personally have only seen that type of mindset from people who make crude remarks about children in that way, calling them demon spawn, crotch goblins, ect. if you stop for a moment and think about how children are also human beings which are trying to learn then these jokes and remarks become way more concerning. and if children are particularly awful why is it that the children are scolded but the parents aren’t? this is the sentiment that i was trying to get across with my original comment.
it's also extremely inappropriate. i fear for the parents out there just doing their best. they have to live with knowing that there are people so hateful towards children out there that they'd openly call them disgusting names like "crotch goblin."
Like if you’re gonna insult someone at least insult the parent, not the kid. Until the kid reaches a certain age they don’t know anything except what their parents teach them
I always find names like crotch goblin hilarious, its funny stuff Also im against child abuse and the only way I would traumatize a child is by doing a stupid joke Im a child
We don’t even have kid zones IN GENERAL ANYMORE and the AUDACITY to demand child free zones on top of that is INSANE. If you want kids to stop annoying you maybe give them places where they can be kids without adults taking over.
I agree! I was recently at tower records with a friend, and there was a small group of kids looking at the vinyl and chatting. My friend was basically fuming, muttering about how these kids know nothing about vinyl and a record shop isn’t for kids. They weren’t touching the recording or damaging anything, they were literally just talking about bands they liked and admiring the album art. Ironically, myself my this same friend used to hang out at tower records as kids as well!
The local grocery store where I lived had a child zone for people to leave their kids at if they wanted for them to play while the parents shopped. It was an enclosed, hole in the wall, kind of area situated by the check out lanes and it was full of toys, board games, video game kiosks, so on and so forth. The entire area had a big glass wall to see into by a lot of people so there really wasn't any risk of the chaperone being a creep or abusive without it being on full display for everyone to see. It worked out well but the store decided for whatever reason to do away with it and now it's just a big conference room which was never used on the regular.
yknow what though? they are cringe! and good for them! all kids of any generation should have a childhood full of cringe and joy. everyone deserves to look back at their childhood and go ohhh. oh god. that was so cringy. why did i do that
I mean, kids are cringe pretty darn often. They don't understand a lot of social things yet and they experiment with behavior that adults cringe at. This doesn't make them better worse, everyone is a little cringe. I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging the fact that kids do cringe worthy behavior pretty regularly. Any one with poor/undeveloped social and emotional skills is going to be cringe AF.
@@TheAwesomes2104 yeah , I'm older and still cringe XD , I'd rather be cringe then what most see as 'normal.' The comments I see are just plain hate , usually calling them cringe then telling them to stop being cringe or they say worse things
when i’m at work and hear a child screaming/crying, i don’t think “ugh shut up, i hate kids”. i think “man i’m also tired, bored and don’t want to be here, i wish i could scream and cry too”. the only time it ever bothers me is when it goes on for a long time and the parent seems to completely ignore them (but thats not the kids fault at all and it makes me feel bad for them)
Ah, yes, someone’s reaction for wanting a kid to shut up makes them a bad person. Seriously, if you think “ugh, shut up, I hate kids” means someone is a terrible person because they hear a child screaming or crying in public, go touch grass.
@@heihogreenzx4704 way to make it about you, i never said it makes anyone a bad person. maybe YOU should touch some grass and learn reading comprehension.
@@camdecay You gave it the subtext that saying or thinking “ugh, shut up, I hate kids” is immoral and/or a bad thing. I also never made it about myself, or even mentioned myself in my response at all. You accuse me of not having reading comprehension, and yet you pull this. You’re digging yourself deeper with how badly you have to touch grass.
i feel like there’s a huge difference between not wanting kids (and being assertive about that when people ask you about having them ) and hating them openly
most of the time when a kid is acting actually horribly the problem is actually the entitled and neglectful parents who think their precious angel can do no wrong and deserves everything they want all the time, or who just can't be bothered to control them. bc how is the kid supposed to know if they haven't been taught?
Then there are those particular parents who are extremely controlling and their authoritarian ways just restrict children from ever becoming their own humans.
There should certainly be spaces that blatantly don't allow kids (one glaring example being Hooters), but they must be made in conjunction with actual child-friendly spaces. Children have less and less space for themselves already and they know that adults like this don't create any room for them to feel safe. How are they supposed to become well-adjusted adults when they are surrounded by discourse that clearly resents their very existence?
Not only that, but also when spaces made FOR THEM get overtaken by adults and then make that space, that should have been for them, unsafe for them (glaring at the MLP fandom.)
"Child free grocery stores" is idiotic. Its one of the most common places you're going to see a child outside of a park or literal school. Either wear some headphones or go to the store like 1-2 hours before closing time, most kids are asleep by then.
There’s free cookies for kids at my grocery store, doesn’t that mean the store is ok with kids there? (They changed it to free samples, maybe bc kids like me went there, got a cookie, sometimes asked my dad if I could get one, then walked away)
The concept of child free areas is stupid in itself. You wouldn't believe how many people I've met that insisted there should be child free flights in airports, child free restaurants, even places INTENDED for kids that are infested with immature adults (majority of these comments were influenced by the sounds of a crying baby on TikTok).
@jacepawplayz I've seen free cookies, free fruit for kids, AND some grocery stores have tiny carts for kids to push and most carts have a seat in it for kids. It's as parent friendly as possible.
@@estevan764Counterpoint : I don't wanna have to spend an 18 hour flight listening to an infant giving everyone on board a migraine. Public transport is bad enough, and at least in public if a kid is throwing a tantrum you can leave and go do something else. Trapped in a metal box 10,000 feet in the air ? less so
@estevan764 honestly I only half agree with the flight part, but only for the benefit of children. They should have parent friendly flights that allow kids to get used to flying without getting overstimulated, and this could allow parents to know what to expect. But banning from regular flights is ridiculous, airplanes should be ashamed of how little many of them accommodate children and parents. It would be nice if they had a kids flight playlist, an i spy paper, maybe an option to rent a busy board or something. But planes are very restrictive, and kids are naturally energetic. Some people might disagree with me but I think planes should maximize comfort for everyone considering how stressful the experience is, and that should include kids.
my parents used to take me to bars, breweries, spencer’s, and other child inappropriate places. i will never not feel weird about people who feel comfortable taking their small children to these places.
i strongly dislike people who hate old people and kids for no reason like . okay you just hate the most vulnerable age groups in our society because you think they're useless ????????? okay weirdo . that's very telling abt their personalities
I mean I dislike entitled boomers (and some Gen Xers) who shit on younger generations for no reason. but honestly any age range can be entitled. And even in my zoomer generation, I see plenty of people who are well on their way to becoming the people they hate if they don’t self reflect. Mostly the child hating weirdos who make fun of iPad babies and Sephora kids
Kids are important for keeping us grounded and reminding us if the innocent happiness and old people has wisdom even if they did it wrong. They are valuable, not useless as what the society led us to believe
@@alyssapinon9670 and some gen z'ers make fun of gen alpha brainrot when they themselves had (and probably are having) brainrot 💀 (tiktok, youtube shorts since the meaning is being chronically online) also, dont they also use gen alpha slangs? they find them funny and use them like actual gen alphas who use the slangs. and they say its satirical so they can fit in and hide that they're pretty cringe.
There's a difference between liking kid relatives and liking other people's kids. You can discipline your relatives' kids, but not other people's. You're forced to put up with however their parents allow them to act, no matter how disrespectful.
@@tc-tm1my Makes complete sense, but what are you attempting to prove? Yes, you do have to put up with them but that is no justification for hating all kids from another family.
This, absolutely. I don't want kids but that doesn't mean I hate them, I'm actually looking forward to my relatives having kids so I can be the cool auntie, haha
My problem is the parents who wont parent their children 💀 like their kids are going around terrorizing other people and they just sit there scrolling on facebook or some shit
Yep, there is nothing that annoys me more than a parent that won't respond to their kid (almost never for an actual reason, often they are on their phones or just staring off into space ignoring their child.) And so now everybody and their grandma has to endure hearing "Mommy? MOMMY? Mommy? Mommy? Mom? Mommy? Mom? Mom? *Crying"* "MOMMY!! " Mom!" And then after 400 bids for attention they'll scream " WHAT?!!" Like they force the child to request their attention 400 times, but then finally answer right before they give up, thus teaching the child that THIS is the only way to get your parents attention. I wondered for so many years why kids have this universal, annoying AF " Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy" times 15 behavior, but then I started paying attention and saw that it's because just about every parent makes it the only way. Even when the parent is in the middle of their conversation and the kid starts, they don't take a second to stop and say " Little Timmy, it isn't nice to interrupt people. When I was young and interrupted everybody, it didn't work, they just talked over and ignored me. You have to be patient and wait your turn. I'll listen to you completely when it's your turn to talk." Nope, they just talk over and ignore them, as if the kid is supposed to understand what's going on and take the hint, then finally explode at the 27th "Mommy!"
@@berrymint6384 I mean, they are still fully bothering other people, but its definitely not their faults, is their parents fault for not teaching them better. Terrorizing isnt the right word, but I still stand by my point
I hate parents that don’t care about their kids and just stick iPads in their faces, I also hate parents that don’t take time to teach their kids things.
this is literally my older step sister. she loves to make fun of and insult her kids for things she taught them to do. like he's three, this behaviour didn't spawn out of nowhere 😭😭😭 i hate watching such a sweet child not get the love and attention he deserves.
re: child free grocery stores like... I'm an autistic guy that works at a grocery store. not a day goes by that I don't hear a child crying at some level. sometimes they're on the very same aisle I'm stocking, and I don't like it. it overwhelms me, it's grating, I wish there was a realistic way that these kids could be removed from the situation that's making them so upset. THAT SAID. there simply isn't. parents need to bring their kids shopping cuz they can't afford childcare when they're out of the house. they bring their kids shopping so the kids can pick food and other items they need themselves so they can learn to make important decisions. parents bring their kids along cuz the kids are scared to be alone. and god forbid a parent brings their kids along because they like their kids company like whoa god forbid fr god forbid. like bars and restaurants and spas, fine whatever make some of those places child free that's fine, but there are very good fucking reasons a parent NEEDS to bring the kid to the store. and when one of those kids starts crying in my vicinity, I don't curse the kid for being there. i don't even curse the parent for bringing them. it just makes me sad that the kid is overwhelmed and needs something that they might not be able to get rn, that's all.
i swear the amount of disrespect you get for existing in the presence of an adult as a child is insane. im not a kid anymore but i literally made a pact with myself to never be like that bc the feeling of being hated was so isolating 😐
I know a man who bullies kids into crying. And the other adults are like " He's just teasing! Dont cry. " I dont know how to handle kids but i do know that teasing isn't supposed to make others cry.
hate people like that, like you see they’re getting increasingly distressed and you think its funny to antagonize them into a meltdown?? then _you’re_ mad when they wont stfu??
This is kinda fitting because a few days ago I was thinking about the mlp fandom and how adults (at least online) are super willing to push out or shame children in spaces made for them. (Sorry if my wording was weird I was in the middle of a idv round writing this.)
I remember that with the bronies! I was actually bullied by them a lot! Like legit adult men bullied me a little girl for liking a show made for little girls cus I was 12 at the time and man they tried really hard to tell me “I was to old for liking it” but they where in the 20’s like wtf! If 12 is too old to like mlp fim what does that make them?! They were so territorial about the show being enjoyed by anyone that wasn’t a bronie, the anger some fans had to the targeted audience was insane and honestly creepy! “How dare little girls like a show made for them grrr” it was scary to be bullied by them as a child and I thought they where these strong scary people now I look back and think how pathetic it and they where as people.
That’s terrible you had to go through that no child should be bullied for liking a show made for them. I remember being a part of the mlp and seeing adults make fun of kids ocs and stuff.
There are quite a few video essays talking about how Bronies basically traumatized MLPFiM’s target audience because they’d just post NSFW/gore on TH-cam and Google Images for any random kid to innocently click on
I think one of the things that started our downward spiral as a society is when we started treating "hates kids" as a personality quirk rather than a personality defect.
I don’t see how people consider children being loud, obnoxious, and generally a nuisance as personality quirks as opposed to personality defects. Like, they can learn to not be annoying and disruptive and instead civil? It’s not like they can be “unable to enjoy their childhood” that way, they can learn to be behaved and also still enjoy their lives.
@@heihogreenzx4704That’s exactly the point. They are in the process of learning. Do you see most adults running around screaming and misbehaving. No. Why? Because those are things you learn not to do **while you are a child**
@@yourlocalsewerrat3675 Yeah, exactly, but it’s no reason for anyone to try and excuse them being loud and annoying. You don’t learn to be not loud and annoying by being loud and annoying.
@@heihogreenzx4704being loud and annoying is literally just being a child. Of course there's a time and place and children should know when to be quiet, but expecting a child to act like an adult is absurd.
I hate the world. I hate that children are berated constantly just for existing. I hate that kids are told that their generation is the worst and that they have to be mature, and then people get mad at them when they want to grow up. I hate the double standards of the education system. Nothing makes sense. They didn’t do anything wrong. And spoiler alert, people don’t get to choose when they’re born, so stop acting like you’re better than everyone just because you grew up in the “good old days.”
Jus because I was born 6 months, I repeat, 6 MONTHS, too late to be a Gen Z by some metrics (2010, but idgaf anyway) I get grouped in with children who are constantly on some sort of screen because their parents don't love them. If you're gonna get mad at kids for acting like kids, you're gonna force them to wanna mature quicker, but if they act more mature, you're gonna tell them to start acting their age! It's fucking ridiculous 😭💀
The “good old days” crowd also have no self awareness in their own right. They don’t acknowledge the social problems of their time and act like society and life was so much better then. Sure, maybe, but who is it that made contemporary society bad? Certainly not my generation or the one after. It’s the adults who consumed and consumed and consumed, and are now pinning it on us to fix the problems they caused. Not to mention that rampant consumerism has been forced upon us, and that cycle is incredibly difficult to break.
@@Acidfrog475 A lot of people from my time (millennials) be telling you younger guys to say offline there's NOTHING for you here. Since we came up seeing things we REALLY shouldn't have, A lot of Gen X parents failed y'all because they either over or underparented. So we're in our spaces chilling then a bunch of y'all come roaring in getting filtered because you ignore the warning it's an adult space. Like why in the hell are kids on Discord of all places... That's the current end boss of talking to legit strangers
@@ExeErdna I get and agree with what you’re saying, but I feel it’s important to note that I very recently turned 20 (like, literally two weeks ago). I’m Gen Z, and think about adoption basically every single day because I really want to become a parent some day.
@@ExeErdna if kids are coming into an adult space then clearly there's some other issue that makes them think it's okay to go there that's been unaddressed, and yes, they shouldn't be there at all, but they're likely going to look for acceptance in a space not meant for them that can be far unhealthier. if you keep treating them like rabid out of control animals, they'll feel more like you have no good intentions for them at all. also, discord is 13+ (16+ in a lot of european countries), same goes for a lot of other social medias, it's not 18+ besides restricted parts in some socials that are. unless by kids you mean people under 13, which, being specific is still very important and you still stated 'adult space'.
One of the best ways I’ve heard it put in a sentence was “you’re entitled to a child free life, but you’re not entitled to a child free world”

My issue is never children and is always parents who can't control their children. I should not be getting bumped by your children waving around giant toys in my thrift store's aisles or weaving past them rollerskating on the dang carpet in there. This is not a free play area- people are shopping. My mind never goes "oh that dumb kid", it's always "god these parents need to grab their kids." but anyways- have you seen the insane amount of hate North West and Blue Ivy be getting? mostly North West. it's disgusting and I want it to stop so dang bad.
ppl calling her untalented among other things is so ridiculous. of course the first person the audience decides to criticize isn’t her parents but the literal eleven year old 😭
I usually blame the parents instead of the children, especially when it's so obvious. Some parents just don't know how to discipline their kids. You have one extreme that's just abusive and the other extreme that just doesn't discipline or teach them anything at all.
Yep worked in retail and it’s wild how parents would let their kids run around unsupervised where they could get hurt or let them throw long tantrums and throw things around this is so many people can’t stand kid’s parents have gotten to lazy to raise them properly.
I think kids are annoying. But I think people who disguise their hatred of children as "holier-than-thou" social critique are even more annoying. Like I'll see a kid doing a TikTok dance and think, "haha kinda cringe." People on social media write a dissertation on how the entire generation's brains have melted to mush due to le TikToks and le Twitch streamers and it's an existential threat to humanity. Like they want to hate the child but they also want to feel justified in their overreaction to it, so they invent this insane narrative. Those people are more cringe than any kid.
FR! Meanwhile they were definitely cringe as kids themselves and they were definitely participating in trends when they were children. I know I had a huge fnaf problem as a child that I would consider cringe and you don’t see me harassing kids for being that way 💀
To be fair if you weren’t cringe as a child, you are remembering things wrong and you were so I don’t see why they automatically write off any new thing a child wants to do as “generational chaos”
i know as an autistic person with extremely sensitive sensory issues i dont exactly like being around kids because they're loud and unpredictable and sometimes they make noises that make me want to rip out my hair strand by strand but that's not an excuse to be rude to them especially to their faces
banning children from grocery stores is genuinely so stupid, i definitely understand the gut wrenching anger from hearing a kid screaming in a store, but thats the parents fault for not telling their kid in a healthy way that doing that disturbs people
I remember seeing like these signs for a more sensory friendly shopping hour at Walmart,if we implemented that in more places honestly I think people would stop being rude to kids for no reason
i hate how adults can do all they want to kids but the kid can't feel emotions like anger because "It's disrespectful" coming from my own experiences, that does a lot, not even adults, just people older than you. i moved to a new school once and 2 years after I moved I was so good at acting happy and hiding my sadness or anger. as the second year started to close, I got more tired and angry, I started to let it out on my friends. I'm thankful they forgave me and gave me a second chance but what if they didn't? then some adult would come around saying "Thats your own fault" as if you didn't treat me like trash for no reason, one day I lost control of my emotions so much I started crying and shaking at school. that was all in the 5th grade!
i agree. i'm a teenager who over the past few years has lost my cousin, my grandmother and my step-father became aggressive and hostile towards my mother and i and my family friend who i'm very close with recently got diagnosed with cancer again which is scary but also brings back memories of my mom's time with cancer. this is my second time being the child during a divorce and it's not fun. but anytime people see me not smiling, they laugh and go "oh look at the moody teenager" or just make fun of me for not being bubbly or my favorite tell me it's rude/disrespectful to not be smiling. young people have battles, don't make fun of us for having emotions.
yea fr cuz I liked this one ytber like 3 years ago and my mom would make fun of their name and other things, but I've never done that to her. When I asked her to stop she just continued to belittle me
My mom does that to me and my siblings, and half of us are adults. You mad at me for being upset when I just got laid off and still have bills to pay? The heck!
@@animangleand then they hit you with the worst part “you haven’t experienced enough to be sad” I’ve had a good childhood so I’ve never had to deal with that (so far) but it’s definitely one of the most annoying statements and if something serious happened and someone told me that, I’m crashing out
@@the_chill_man the principal told me i was being dramatic because my grandma was on her death bed lmao it's upsetting in the moment, but just remember those people are silly and you learn that you don't have to surround yourself with those people when you're older c: best of luck friend
Saying that there should be MORE child-free zones while there’s barely any child zones to begin with… I mean i agree with the sentiment that people shouldnt bring children in certain places (like clubs and bars, obviously, or certain places that offer services like spas/resorts) but the uprise in people saying sephora/makeup stores should ban children? 😭 I was dragged in makeup stores all the time by my mom. It was boring but one of my favorite things to do in there was getting something from the dollar bin when i could. I don’t think they should be using the testers w/o tester “etiquette” but it just falls on the parents. Edit: I agree with you ^
this part like how are parents to leave their children in child exclusive zones to enjoy themselves when there are no zones for those children to exist safely?
This would also essentially ban parents (especially mother since they’re often the primary caretaker) from public life. they can’t leave their kid home alone, but if 50% of business ban children how can they go outside?
It feels greedy almost because adults have more spaces than kids do and they know this “I know I already have a plate of food but I’m gonna just reach over the table and take some of yours” vibe 💀
I thought about this when I saw some "This is why Gen Alpha is hated" video. Really now, because I think there's only one reason. People are misanthropic freaks who choose to spend their free time bullying children. I personally hate the bad parenting that's rampant today, I think children are awesome. I don't want any but that's because I feel I'm too flawed to do it well.
Children are not awesome, they are a pain to be around, and they genuinely bring out the worst in fanbases whenever they start joining, be it of their own doing or not.
@@heihogreenzx4704 the worst thing kids do in fandoms is make "cringe" stuff or make discourse no one cares about. that is NOT the worst thing a fanbase could do
@@bananalol3513 They also harass people because they have negative amounts of logic. The Friday Night Funkin’ fanbase is an example of this (among other reasons that fanbase is putrid garbage).
I remember hearing people talk about how much they hate kids AS a kid, it kind of made me become a werid pick me where I tried to act like I wasn't like other kids (read: I stopped talking ever in public).
Oof. Yeah, I got praised and compared to "other kids" who were acting "immature". Because I was being shy and quiet. Now I'm terrified of "bothering people" by speaking up for myself. Go figure.
I have younger siblings and a natural maternal instinct do I may be biased here, but I've found that supposed child friendly spaces are often made unfriendly by adults. Me and my family went to watch the sonic movie when it first came out and a bunch of teenage to college aged people obviously went there for the memes and were yelling and swearing the entire time. Adults will smoke around kids with no regard for their health. They'll curse and fuck up and get drunk at parties that have kids there. Also, they're acting like these places aren't also overwhelming for kids. Kids need to run around and the more they're told you cant do that or getting yelled at by their parents, the less they understand. And I'm neurodivergent and get overwhelmed by adults making a racket a lot. Have my entire life. And when they go to a general area clearly drunk and making a fool of themselves, it's even worse. My family was at a sports club for my grandparents last anniversary before my grandad died and my little brother, aged nine at the time, had a drunk guy fall on top of him ass first when he was half their size. It's not fun. These areas aren't kid friendly at all because people make them unfriendly.
yes, exactly!!! every time i go to disneyland, i hear several people yellling swear words. walt disney wanted to make it enjoyable for adults too, but he still made it for kids.
@@lpstweetytv5242 blatantly wrong, literal human nature is selfish, including children. If you pretend they’re selfless by nature, you’re a bold-faced liar.
For the sonic movie i can explain why there were also older people....Sonic is a pretty old character with fans from a wide age range, so its only normal that teens and up would go watch the movie and not just for the memes
@@joseantoniovargas6548 Still, it's very inappropriate to loudly talk and swear over a kids movie when the majority of the audience was visibly families. Also, I could tell from the way they were speaking and the remarks they made that they were there ironically.
A good example of this is the "record player is inside of it" girl - like yeah it was funny the first time but people were SO mean to her and just making fun/bullying her in comments and stitches 😭 Like no OFC she doesn't know the ins and outs of a somewhat obsolete device - she's like 9 years old at the latest and probably just saw her fave artist and wanted to buy it (like any normal kid). It was giving that one episode of the Ellen show where all the boomers laugh at that girl for not being able to fold a map...
Dude I hate that shit so much!! I question the mom for recording that too like- of course she isnt gonna know what a record player is because you never told her or she has never seen one like why are you muttering???? This could have been a funny memory for the both of them but nah let's record it for views
I am very, VERY happy that someone made a video about this, and normally I try to avoid ranting about stuff online, but I just really need to put this out somewhere I am 17 years old, close to becoming a adult, and the way this world treats children sickens me deeply. I’m not lying when I say that children (and teenagers) are the biggest, most vulnerable minority/group of people on earth. Let me just name a few examples of children who are already suffering: kids living in poverty, kids living in war zones, kids in abusive households, kids who were raped/sexually abused/groomed, homeless kids, children in foster homes/in the system, children of color, black children, brown children, Native American children, Palestinian kids, kids who are part of the LGBTQ, neurodivergent and mentally ill children, disabled kids, kids who were kicked out of their homes, child soldiers, runaways and etc etc. And on top of all that shit, they have to deal with the fact that people don’t even see them as humans.
@@lmaojustchangedmyname4565 lmaooo you’re welcome. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure there’s plenty of others who also agree with you (judging by how many likes you got, even if it’s not much) ;D
Call me the fun police or whatever, I'll always roll my eyes at people who go on tirades over hating children or make jokes about hurting them when they're already some of the most vulnerable in our societies. You refusing to empathise or understand what may cause them distress - especially if they have a hidden disability or an unpleasant home life- is not their problem.
Man being the fun police if you just wanna have good morals and be a nice person that respects other people is crazy bro I think the internet is ruining people
I find it really odd when people get mad about stuff like abusive parents and the media sexualizing kids, and then the next second go on about wanting to dropkick a baby. Like, you do realize that if you feel passionate about those issues (as you SHOULD), it means you care about children, right? I totally get being upset when older people hound you about having kids, but like, that’s grandma’s problem, why take it out on kids for existing? It’s completely possible to know you don’t like or have patience for something without hating it outright, imagine if people said they wanted to burn down a school just because they felt too much social pressure to go to college
I find my brothers highly annoying and obnoxious, but id still die for them. We can protect the weakest in society without being head over heels for them.
I mean there's a huge difference between joking about something and actually doing it... Yeah someone JOKING about drop kicking a kid will be pissed off about pedophilia... Or parents who beat/starve kids.
as a teen, i just wish people would be nicer to kids. the truth about children and teens is that we are vulnerable and completely reliant on our parents. i've heard adults joke and brag about how hard they beat their kids, sometimes to the point where they needed to go to the hospital. children can't protect themselves from the people who are supposed to care for them. they can't protect themselves from the people who call them "crotch gremlins" or get so angry at their mere presence that they want them banned from grocery stores. and, in sympathy for the good parents out there, they can't always protect their children from the people who hate them just for being children.
I’m getting sick of people who hate younger generations as a personality trait. Which.. is usually millennial or gen X. As they seem to be the most vocal about hating kids I’ve also always gotten a major ick when older people trash on teen girl interests.
You remember all those gen A videos that were constantly on your recommendation (at least for me) in February/March. It did NOT matter how much times you pressed "do not recommend" YOU CANNOT ESCAPE😭

I've grown up with low self esteem and the amount of adults who have said mean things to me as a child is wild. Or even just kids a little older than me. kids are people too.
Yeah, and adults are always like kids shouldn't have opinions, rights, etc, that's basically saying that they shouldn't be human, adults also complain about kids not respecting them when the kids' parents aren't doing the same to their own children, like how do you expect respect if you don't give it out to that person. Adults have to realize that we kids/teens ARE their future, we'll be taking care of them in the next 20-30 years while they're in wheelchairs or suffering from some age-related disease.
being childfree is one thing, I myself am a fencesitter, but it’s so weird to actively hate on children. like they’re the ones who are gonna grow up to be your nurses in the retirement home be nice 😂
I’m gonna be honest, I personally can’t stand little kids. Their yelling stresses me out a lot and some of them can just be insufferable to be around. HOWEVER, people who constantly “””joke””” about hurting kids REALLY rub me the wrong way. If you don’t like them, awesome, cool, just say you don’t like them then. No need to talk about drop kicking them or whatever. Also, calling a child a f/// trophy?????? Seriously???? What was going through that person’s mind when she typed that 😭😭😭
I'm 15. People always told me I needed to "Grow up" and that "I look like I'm 10", but now that I did grow up, these SAME people are telling me "I act too mature", "I dress innapropriately", "I look like I'm 20".. make up your minds people, Jesus. 🙄
As a child, I feel like I’ve been kicked out of (socially not physically) everywhere I enjoyed. I loved to browse Sephora and Ulta I was always respectful to the products and people but now I feel like if I go those I will be looked at filmed without my consent and had people be rude to me for simply existing in the same room as them (all of which have happened before). I used to go to the movies, but now they are too expensive for my family to afford. Online I’ve been shamed for liking adult shows. I can’t afford to have a streaming service so I have to watch internet cartoons, mostly adult cartoons. I understand concerns about inappropriate content but you must understand the fact that attend a public middle school, I’ve heard and seen worse. And every time I find a community online I’ve been shamed because “you’re too young to be on the internet”, but where the heck am I supposed to go? The park? My city doesn’t have one. The library? My parent can’t just leave me there alone and he works to much to go with me. A restaurant? Same problem. I have 2 options according to everything I’ve said, read the very few books I own outright (can’t go to the library very often), or stare into a wall. Because I was shamed into stopping collecting my dolls that I enjoyed because I’m “not 5 anymore”. So of course I’m gonna be on the internet. That’s why I feel like teens specifically need places to go online *and* physically. Thank you for reading my long rant.
I'm good at taking care of kids. I was the oldest of my cousins and always taking care of them. I was often adultified at a young age not only at home when I became the primary care of my sister, but even at school because I was seen "mature for my age". The first job I got was helping children experiencing extreme scenarios like the foster care system and parents under criminal investigation cope and adjust as my first job...an illegal age for how many hours I was working because I was a child myself. I'm also childfree, more or less because of my experience. I think a lot of people hit the nail on the head when they talk about the lack of third spaces, but there is other layers that people are missing when they discuss this The economic classism of it all. Wealthy people DO have third spaces and child free spaces. This is a non-wealthy people problem. Meanwhile non-wealthy people are working longer hours for less money. When they go to their affordable choice of leisure for the 2 days (if they are lucky) they have off and a child is there, it does feel like their whole world is crashing down. Historically when people are buckling under the socio-economic weight of inequality, instead of going through the daunting task of reflecting on the systematic structures at hand and potentially spiraling into nihilism or admitting they have to work for change, they target the most visible minority who is vulnerable and shift the blame on them because that is a target that is more within reach. There is are reasons why there is a correlation (IMPORTANT: NOT CAUSATION) between the general poverty level of an area and the amount of animal and child abuse, and it's one of the most well documented correlations when it comes to those two things. Also through the internet, it's become more clear how strongly the environment children are raised in and consuming affects their worldview. Pipelines and echo chambers are becoming more prevalent as social medias become these giant monoliths, we are giving power to what these little kids are saying (ex: a 13 y/o's opinion) because they are venting the most out of touch shit possible and it's going viral. We also need room for decentralized spaces like the geocities era so children can have a space to be cringe in and not become the latest viral debate.
For clarification on the first point; yes there are a lot of places that are child free by design, but oftentimes wealthy places are child free by the virtue of the etiquette of the society surrounding them and pricing out families. The same places that have child free resorts also have places for said children to go. They have things like bars and restaurants where you can leave your kids to be babysat while you enjoy yourself. They are super fucking expensive. Meanwhile my favorite bar offers really good deals for some yummy meals with big portions if you also buy a drink and no matter what hour I go there, there are always parents with 2-6 kids there too running around being kids. It doesn't bother me because that's not the kid's fault AND it's not the parent's fault either. We are both going here instead of the nice expensive bar for the same reason. We are working the same types of job and are buckling under the same weight. Let's not be so quick to throw the parents under the bus because they are struggling too.
Its clear that many people forget that they used to be kids too. Everyone probably has their own childhood memories of being belittled and ridiculed for their interests, talked down to, and the constant frusteration of not being 'right' for the world yet because of their age. Weird that many people hate children and refuse to understand them when they themselves were once in the exact same place.
The movement has actively made some people with kids more hostile, too. It's understandable considering some of the "jokes" made but still. I went to see The Grudge Remake back in 2020 (terrible movie btw) and in front of me, I saw a woman with two like ten years enter the theater. I asked her, "Are you guys in the right theater?" Because R rated horror movie. I probably shouldn't have been nosey, but she snapped at me that "she can't take her kids to see whatever the hell she wants." Backed off because okay, sorry, I didn't mean to piss you off. They ended up leaving right around the scene where John Cho murders his pregnant wife. I know it's legal, but I have to wonder about some of the movies kids are allowed to see because their parents said yes.
As someone who is easily annoyed by children, it's because more and more kids have never been disciplined or taught right from wrong. The amount of times that I have seen children in the double digits walking up to touch strangers because they have on a cool outfit or going up and messing with someone's table at a restaurant is more than 10 for each situation. People that don't like kids don't like disrespectful kids (for the most part). It's because I've had to deal with so many kids that don't understand anything and just do whatever they want because their parents have never in their entire life told them no
I have an issue with people who invade the toy isles in stores and film sexual things for tiktok, or do inappropriate things becauss it's "funny". Children are already, like you said, limited in the world nowadays. Schools are unsafe, playgrounds are predatory breeding grounds, and the only places that children can safely exist are their OWN BACKYARDS!! Why are we hating on ipad kids when that's what us as a society is forcing onto our children?!
As a tween, (I know I probably shouldn’t be here) adults are really judgmental, like if I were to see someone my age acting like an animal I would go “alright, that’s not my thing but if it makes you happy that cool for you” whereas with the adults I’ve seen, if they see someone my age acting like an animal they would go “ew that’s so gross and weird, you need to be more mature for your age”, you see the difference? Kids are way less judgmental than adults and their also a lot more accepting, the reason we are so mature is because we are told to be more mature and to “stop acting like a child” I am way more mature than most adults I’ve seen, ofc not everyone acts like this, kids can be judgmental and adults can not, but it’s just very hard to live in a world where everyone is telling you what you can and can’t be. Thanks for reading 👍
thank you for commenting! and yeah, there will always be people of all kinds in all age groups. as someone who was a tween not too long ago, I'm in the same boat as you where certain types of judgment aren't really my thing. Like I'm not gonna care about someone's behavior or interests in general, as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone I care about in my life. But that's still me being judgmental though. I'm just judging the situation as one that I don't want to care about. everyone's a bit judgmental. Even in your comment you are judging some adults to be more judgmental, which they are, so you are correct in your judgments. but it's still judgmental. you still made judgments (defined as the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions). do you see what I'm saying? i think the real issue is people ignoring context and nuance in their judgments, basically ignoring logic and critical thinking. Like if I see a kid acting like an animal, my understanding of kids is that kids do that, and I'm going to let kids be kids unless things get out of hand. That's acknowledging the context of their age. If another adult sees that and thinks they need to be institutionalized or something, they're ignoring that same context and are taking things too far. However, if I see an adult acting like that, I think I would judge the situation as one of concern. I don't know if I would do anything else in that situation other than keep my distance, but still. i think there will kind of always be expectations about what people can and can't be, for legal reasons, but also human nature reasons. it is in our nature to expect certain behaviors and attitudes from others due to the cognitive schemas we naturally build up via our life experiences and memories. and I think that these expectations can be mixed, good and bad. for example, as a society, we generally hold parents to the expectation that they SHOULD be responsible parents. that's a good expectation that should exist, for the safety and welfare of kids and generations to come. Some people also have the expectation that kids should be more mature, quiet, perfect. that is a bad expectation; it is irrational, unreasonable, and unrealistic. if we don't tell parents that they should be responsible for their kids or how to be responsible for their kids, telling them what they can or can't be, we're setting them up for failure. and if we expect kids to be on any sort of healthy path of life without proper caretakers and role models, we are setting them up for failure as well. basically tldr, there is a necessity for judgments and expectations, being judgmental is somewhat inherent to human nature, but with judgments and expectations, there should also be nuance, logic, and critical thinking. there is a time and place for open-mindedness, and a time and place for making judgments as well. if you read all this, thank you as well. hope you have a great day/night.
Most adults lost that themselves, I know I did. I was forced to grow up because my people had issues. It's why a lot of adults act worse now than ever becuase they're being a child in an adult space. Thus cutting off children from being in said space then a lot of Gen Y and Gen X left a lot of spaces behind. Since Arcades were dying when before I was 18, I never cared for rolling rings, etc. As a kid yet so many adult spaces are JUST former spaces for kids. Like Dave and Busters is just Chuck E Cheese for adults. I understand why since we have spare money that we can blow up at these spaces. As a kid going to an arcade was a money sink since $5 was a lot when you're 7. SO y'all got screw because a lot of grew up too fast and we forgot how we had bad too.
I feel like the main problem is parents not being parents helping their children learn to properly interact with the world and lack of places designed for children to be children.
It WAS suppose to be school yet school now is basically a puppy mill and they wonder why kids are crashing out. These kids are in some of the worse conditions and then teachers, parents and admins are expecting ZERO trauma from it? When they ignore the food is bad, the lessions are bad, too much homework, they're being exposed to violence, they have to get up early and stand in the bad weather conditions or they risk getting in trouble. They can't get sick and the list goes on. It was bad nearly 20+ years ago and it just got worse for kids. Since Parents were teens they went screw and went inside. Now as parents their kids never knew what outside really was.
from the perspective of someone who has experienced neglect, childfree grocery stores are the worst idea imaginable. my mom went from leaving my siblings and i in the hot car to leaving us at home, not just for groceries but for every errand that "didn't require" us. kids need to exist in public spaces to develop properly
Let me sit next to the crying baby on the plane, if your child asks for some of the candies I'm eating I will always share, I will play whatever made up game my nephews want to play. Children deserve joy, I wish it could be seen as perfectly normal to give candy and toys to strange children. My favourite thing to do is to buy groceries for the people behind me, I wish it was okay to give gifts to kids for no reason 😭
I'm someone who doesn't want kids, doesn't partculary want to be near kids (they're usually sensory nightmares) but i can never truly understand straight up hating them or wishing pain on kids, i've seen people say some horrible stuff about children on the internet and act like they're not in the wrong for saying it.
I've never understood the hatred towards children. It's like ppl forget they were also once kids and just lack empathy towards them. Like yeah, they're annoying but so was I when I was their age and so were so many others. They were literally born not too long ago. They're still navigating the world like everyone else. I also hate child-free people who come online to shame and attack parents and talk about how "miserable" parents are and how they don't have to deal with that. Like ok? If you don't want kids, that's fine but don't shame parents who have kids and make it seem like they're miserable. They don't like when ppl pressure them to have kids or attack them for not starting a family so why do it to those with a family? I like kids and hope to have at least 1 or 2 in the future (If I can because I do have an irregular/longer period than normal) so I hate seeing ppl attack them and insult them, especially since they're still CHILDREN🤦🏾♀ . Also about the child-free spaces, are kids supposed to be locked up all day?? Like why can't kids also enjoy they're lives? They're already restricted considering they really can't do anything without their parents or their parents consent and so going out to places like restaurants or grocery stores are their only time to get out and have fun. I know for me, that was the case. I was never really allowed out on my own unless it was nearby so going to the grocery store or restaurant or just anywhere that's not nearby was fun to me. And about the bar thing, kids shouldn't be going to bars and I'm tired of seeing parents (and ppl in general) "adultifying" (probably not a real word lol) kids. Like the weaves, lashes, cussing, inappropriate dancing, bars, club themed parties, pole dancing etc. It's too much! Let kids live and let kids be kids!
Especially at family gatherings or gatherings in general, it's either they completely ignore you and expect you to instantly make friends with a bunch of random kids outside of your age group or lock you in a room with those same kids and expect you to be silent, sophisticated, and still.
Well, that was 2 sides. I understand it can be frustrating to be ignored by adults if their family or close to your family as I experienced that as a young child. However, at the same time I wouldn't just go up and converse with my younger cousins because I'd probably end up bothering them.
never understood the hate towards kids. im an older brother to three younger siblings, and i used to help around in my moms classroom when she was a teacher. they were all super sweet, and i enjoyed hanging with them. couldn't deal with kids of my own as i have serious issues with being a control freak, but even then i find it far beyond me to lash out at a kid for my own issues.
Before I became diaabled I used to work as a school secretary and I taught sunday school and the kiddos brought so much joy to my day. Like we had one little girl who always made it a point every day when coming in and wehn leaving to make her mommy or daddy stop by my office so she could say Hi to me and i would drop everything to give her a Hi-five and tell the parents to have a good day. My favorite story tho is we had on little boy who was just a bundle of energy and it was halloween, well he was so excited abt his classroom's halloween party that afternoon that he straight up ran out of the classroom, ran down the hall into my office, did a little excited dance and then ran back to the classroom before the teacher even knew what happened. No words, just pure excitement 😂 Those kids are teenagers by now and I wonder if they remembwr me b/c i sure remember them ❤
As an educator I clicked on this video so fast. I mean I hate a crying baby on a plane too but I'm not mad at the baby just the fact that the sound is occurring. I'm someone who was raised well with such loving parents and yet I still have trauma from miscellaneous things that went wrong or I didn't understand. I really worry about how kids who have been exposed to the last few years of social media during their developing years are doing
We 100% need safe spaces for children, but we do need to bar children from certain places. We shouldn’t have casinos with family friendly attractions _Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas_
I want children but sometimes I look at r/childfree because it is FULL of stuff like this. I remember specifically one day there was a post of someone angry that children were at an aquarium
i think to make an entire movement based on subverting expectations and turning it into hating each and every child you come across is so gross. these movements usually harbor a lot of negativity towards children for what ever reason and it just becomes a circle jerk of freaks seeing kids be normal in public and patting themselves on the back cus they just value their own life too much to be a parent. kids are fkn hard to deal w and nobody should have kids if they don’t want them but my god to act like they are undeserving of basic respect is just so ridiculous.
Literally if they're so pressed that kids exist in public then they should just become a hermit or something 💀 they really gonna make themselves miserable over kids they don't know?
I get being upset that like, a kid is being dragged to an adult space like a bar- But an aquarium?? That's an all ages space. I love overhearing their conversations and my favorite thing to overhear when they ask about an animal that their parent doesn't know, do the parent just reads off the plaque that the kid didn't see. Idk but it just feels so charming to watch, seeing a parent help their kid learn in whatever way suits them.
@@lihuancult1965 bigger dogs intimidate me and my mom was attacked by one (she’s okay now it was years ago) and also because some of them are untrained and will chase you down the street or jump on you but I don’t hate all big dogs and think they should d!e😭 I get cautious in public and walk the other way when I see one but I don’t HATE them that subreddit is fcking crazy
As an 11 year old girl the bullying just for existing is crazy like weren't they're an kid to before? Literally someone on the school bus pushed an kid and they felled and the kid started crying the kid was just trying to find an seat since the bus was crowded i wish the world was nicer ):
Some adults: why are kids invading adult spaces? Those same adults when they see Bluey,MLP or any other children's media: it's free R34! (This is only talking about adults who are creepy about Children's media,not people who genuinely like it)
i was apart of a "feminist" group on facebook back in the day and i SWEAR 80% of it was hating on kids. i said "you're allowed to hate kids and I'm allowed to think you're an asshole because you hate ANY group of human beings. it's still bigotry." i was promptly kicked out lol. there is NO group of people who are more vulnerable than children. that's when the most severe trauma usually happens.
Right? I got kicked out of a feminist subreddit for saying something along the lines of "Don't use male rape victims to silence female rape victims". As a feminist myself, they screamed about men doing it to them, but when someone outright tells people not to do it, You kick them out???? Reddit even permanently banned me for getting angry at misogynistic pigs.
When I was 13-14 I was one of those people who HATED kids (I know its ironic coz I was just barely not a kid but shhhh). I wouldnt joke abt hurting them, but anytime someone mentioned them I would talk abt how much I hated them. Then when I was 16 I realized I never actually hated kids, I just hated the idea of taking care of/being in charge of them. Its just that whenever I thought of kids I didnt think of actual kids, I just thought of the stress that taking care of them caused me. My experience with kids had always been either me taking care of them and stressing out about it or people constantly telling me when I grow up Ill be a mother and love them or whatever, so I attatched those bad experiences and blamed it on hating kids intead of just not being able to handle taking care of them. And I feel like thats true for a lot of people who say they hate kids. Tho joking about hurting them is always weird to me no matter the reason who you say you hate kids
Honestly especially with the gender roles of women always being told when theyre young that their purpose in life is being a mother really does sour the idea of children for a lot of people. Like you mentally connect the idea of children to people telling you your purpose in life is to be a mother. It sucks so much but thats what Ive experienced and noticed with some others who say they hate kids. Obv not true with everyone but you get the idea
@@MrPizza_0919 I know- thats why its quite ironic. But when I say "kids" in this comment I mean kids from the ages 2-10. At the time I didnt consider myself a kid but I very much was
as an older gen "alpha" (i'm 13), it honestly pains me seeing all the stereotypes that i'm considered to be as stupid and young as some fetus, and then those same people go around and act like i'm committing crimes just because i'm a young teenager. but i hate it when i'm treated like i'm a child, because 90% of the time all children (anyone under 18) are considered babies. i'm not a baby. you can't even go into a child-friendly space without being represented by weird af colors and toys and music all acting like you just popped out of the womb. ageism is terrible, and the babying is even worse. we can't be kids anymore
Exactly, I'm 12, and I've seen some really smart Gen alphas go to college at such a young age. But I think we should be kids for as long as we can. (Besides, I only have one year left)
As a kid thanks for this. I’m tired of people treating me as if I’m an alien and unknown species until I turn 18. I want my feelings to be taken in consideration by the adults around me. I want to play a roblox game without someone older than me bullying me or taking over the space and making it inappropriate to be in. Let me play Brookhaven, adopt me, simulators, meepcity and other games without calling me cringe. By adults, I’ve been ostracized from going outside so my only comfort is inside and on the internet and I know there is never any app where you will be safe at all. Even the ones that are designed to be safe. I’m not childish for doing childish things because I literally AM A CHILD. Let me play with toys and slime and play peaceful roblox games without getting threatened by an older teen or adult. Let me wear kid clothes because I AM A CHILD. Let me be in kid spaces because I AM A CHILD. Let me be a kid society!
This reminds me of how some people say that teenagers can’t get gender affirming care because they think that just because we’re not an adult means we are stupid and don’t know anything about what we want and who we are Edit: key word, “Reminds me”
My mom constantly made the point to me that “you’re so young! I don’t think you should label yourself!” Well then why should I label myself as a girl? The hypocrisy is real.
The argument is not that we’re “stupid”, it’s that our brains aren’t fully developed enough to make such a life altering choice, especially during a time filled with so much change and self-discovery anyway. I can’t really see how the point of this video applies to this situation.
@@kirataylor5199 it’s kinda related to the video because I feel like some of the people featured in the video are acting like children aren’t people which reminded me of the people who said what I was talking about in my comment. When I was watching the video I thought of it, so I left a comment to continue the discussion. Is that not what the comments are for?
@@kirataylor5199Cause it’s a kid who doesn’t know what they want who’s commenting. That’s a whole other serious thing. It includes drug blockers and surgeries, that’s not normal and teens and kids for sure can’t make that decision. And if you look up the things behind that “care” and what those doctors really think, you’d believe they are monsters. No other mental illness says the cure is to enable it
I'm so glad someone made this video! I feel like a broken record having to tell adults that just because I'm a kid with less experience, it doesn't mean my opinions are invalid and "wrong." People who think that all adults are smart, wise, brave, etc... need to know that every person is different, and we all are way too diverse to be put into tiny boxes like that. On top of that, I've had adults (in person and online) underestimate me and say things like, "Well, you know how kids are" if you seriously need to use age as an ad hominem for your point, your point most likely wasn't good to start with. I think some adults aren't as mature as they think.
No wonder kids wants to grow so fast. Being constantly ridiculed by society and not having any freedom to do anything isn’t any fun. Adults have more freedom and aren’t made fun of. :(
People just hate when humans are still learning to be human or get frustrated when you're not exactly like them. This lends to everyone from children, to the disabled, to personality disorders, to survivors of extreme trauma (think Gypsy Rose who clearly doesn't know how to be a person in society yet). When I got out of a trafficking situation (way more common than you'd think) and needed to learn how the world functioned for the first time I was treated like SHIT by society and so were the people in my support groups in the same situation. Hell, when I ran to a hospital I was turned away with a ton of attitude because I didn't have ID or a health card yet. Just a few months ago I saw someone's boss scream at a disabled person for not being able to drive a car- something they never lied about. This hatred of people who need time to grow and understand things also lends I feel to how defensive people get if they ever make a mistake. It's like people see learning and growing as this horrible crime. We as a society need to stop being such selfish assholes and help each other instead.
Yeah and babys get hate too and when i see people in online saying I hAte bAByS bCS tHeY cRy they Are still learning imagine you Are being Born and you think you will get loved NO you get hated by people bcs they think babys Are annoying bcs they cant speak and the only think they Can do Is cRy bcs they cant speak and parents Are trying baby to speak and talk and you still Mad? Go #### yourself: sorry if i sweared i AM just tired of this hatred of babys):
Dav Pilkey talks about this a lot in the Captain Underpants series, particularly the second half of the series. He talks about how happy kids often slowly turn into grumpy adults due to pressure in their lives, and how most adults don't look within themselves to see what changed, preferring to just stay grumpy adults. And he wrote all this in a kid's book. For this, Dav Pilkey is my most respected writer of kid's books.
10:26 people really don’t understand how very few spaces are child friendly. Especially in cities, most of the world is quite boring and even hostile to children.
The reason Kids are becoming "worse" is because the media likes to highlight the more chaotic and controversial side of things because it's more interesting than being a normal human being.
as a teenager, I absolutely agree, like im 18, I still consider myself a kid but get weird looks even from friends and like those friends are usually really anti-hate, progressive and stuff im not talking about cis white teenage boys, Its just ridiculous how they are so ready to feel superior to kids based off of nothing
When I say I don’t like kids, I don’t mean I hate them with my entire heart. No, of course not! I don’t hate kids, I just don’t enjoy it when people give their children to me to watch, especially at family gatherings. I’ll play with kids, I don’t mind. But it bugs me when parents/guardians don’t watch or properly socialize and teach their kids that no, you can’t pull peoples hair. No, you can’t have my phone, you can’t have my food. I’ve met the sweetest kids in the world, and they are always so great to be around. But please, PLEASE don’t just drop off your kid to me. I don’t want to take care of your kids while you go drink.. or whatever adults do. I don’t mind the crying, the mess, it’s simply the lack of parenting and attention these kids are getting, and how I’M expected to watch over them. I have to focus on school work, and I want to actually enjoy being a teenager/young adult. If I want to watch your kids, I’ll become a babysitter, or offer.
people act like hating children is a personality trait. I tried to show someone a picture of my friend's new baby and her immediate reaction was “Oh, I hate kids”. Like- what do you want me to do with that information? Or anytime the conversation turns to kids, many people will instantly say, “I don't like kids” or insult how infants and children look like as if it’s a knee-jerk reaction.
As a person who actually likes children: Disliking children is just as much of a personality trait as liking them or being a parent. Truth be told, anything, LITERALLY ANYTHING at all that you want or choose, is a personality trait because THAT is how personalities work... 🫠
I am a 30, it's ironic that these adults are acting like spoiled children. That was the scariest thing I learned about the world as a teenager. The fact that most adults are just tall children running the world.
If you want more childfree spaces, you HAVE to give more places where children can actually hang out in.
There are barely any places left for children and teens to hang out at because of the decline of third places.
I feel like my generation (Gen Z) have the worst teen life years because literally all the third places are dead. No more malls, movie theaters are too expensive, you'll literally get kicked out from loitering in public areas.
Even on the internet most children hang out spaces are infested with gross and inappropriate adults.
yes exactly, i'm glad i'm not alone on this. i don't want to be stuck in my house all day but spending time outside is expensive and if you're not paying they don't want you there. it happens more with teenagers, because they assume we're up to no good but like no i just want to be outside of my house.
it's dehumanizing and isolating really.
Isn’t this why I see so many teens hang out in abandoned buildings?
@@LiterallyInklingGirl yes, as someone who wanders around malls after closing. my friends and i don't go there to do drugs, sex, etc.... we honestly just go because those places are the only places we can go where we don't have to spend money or get kicked out
"Do you want to go to the library?" With how long it takes me to read a book, no, but where else are we supposed to go??
I mean maybe to you there’s barely any places lol arcades and roller skating rings, and malls are still open I’ve even went to concerts with my friends
The opposition to the “I’m tired of kids acting like blah blah blah” is that lots of kids are tired of the world treating them like they’re less than and not able to make decisions for themselves. Believe it or not, many kids are very intelligent and able to pick up on behavior from adults that’s highly disrespectful or even abusive 🤷♀️
They make fun of kids fun for acting 'cringe' then say kids don't act like kids they growing up to fast same old same old act your age bs and then act surprised when then want to be older
Rant : you don't have to read this,😭
I remember taking you're so mature as a compliment oh and by the way saw this post a few minutes ago where they were comparing kids today playing with makeup vs teens acting like kids which some one said kids want to be older and teens act like kid which to that I think is wrong some of us didn't get to have a childhood and especially with quarantine cooping everyone inside I think it good that people still play with dolls and act like 'kids' because no one said when you grow up you have to stop. By the way there's nothing really wrong with children playing with makeup either girl or boy it's literally good that they are curious and willing to experiment we still have toy makeup and did we just forget teens went through a whole that girl it girl self-care glowup beauty hacks.
But I also agree with what you said we really need to actually focus on children's safety because the way we treat children is not right.
The rage I feel towards people who make fun of children for being children then make fun of them when they stop acting childish to not get picked on is immeasurable
Hi, I'm a "child" (young teenager). I attend a lot of parties with a lot of elderly african women. They like to push me around, LITERALLY. They will shove past me. I was at my aunts wedding, and a women pushed me to the side where I then fell over. The amount of times where i've been told to "stay in a child's place," or to clean up a mess that is not mine is insane. I'm tired, I'm sick of it. I love being a kid, and I want to enjoy the carefreeness of it, but people WON'T LET ME. And then as soon as I start maturing as a result all of the aunties think I'm "trying to be fast."
As a retail employee, I can CONFIDENTLY say that people over 50 are infinitely more terrible than the screaming children. They are rude, entitled, and judgmental, while kids are just kids. The older folks don’t have an excuse.
I worked at Wal-Mart at the service desk and an old man threw his package of cookies on the floor and jumped up and down on them because I was helping another customer. He wanted to exchange them. Instead of waiting like a grown-up, he destroyed his cookies. He had no cookies, nor his money. He had to be in his 70s. It was wild.
No child ever threatened me with a bad Yelp review.
espect for the difference and a literally HELP SCREAMing child is NOT 'annyoing"
get help!
As a grocery store cashier, I second ALL of this…
When kids are rude, entitled, and judgemental, it's because they're being the most honest versions of themselves and haven't fully learned how to control, direct, or express their thoughts, language, and feelings. It's all a part of growing up and learning to be social. When adults are rude, entitled, and judgemental, it's either they haven't developed those skills or they're doing it intentionally to hurt someone and make them feel bad
Hope you enjoyed my on-the-spot opinion I spent 5 minutes on 😅
as someone who works in a grocery store, kids are the least annoying part of my job. the most annoying part are the middle aged people who complain about everything, including those kind of people who come up to me to be like "kids am i right" and expect me to be a hater with them
the best part about my job is helping kids even. they come up to me to ask me for something and everytime when i'm done helping them the parent(s) will say "and what do you say to the nice lady", and the kid will tell me "thank you". those moments make my day because it's a break from the 3 people in a row asking me to speak to the manager
I remember this so vividly when I was healthy enough to work. I'd be pricing products (retail whee) and someone would come up to me because a child would be talking. Just talking. Same thing. Same exact comment. KIDS AM I RIGHT?
Oh wow the child is communicating with his parents if he wants a shirt with Ninja Turtles or a generic truck, wow that is just RUINING your day, Karen. Get outta here with that!
@@jamie1602 literally this!! complains would always be just about a child Talking and Existing
Counterpoint: Autism.
I literally feel physical pain around sudden, or unpredictable loud noises. Not just the sounds above 140 decibels that actually cause bodily harm if you're too close to the source.
Which is all kids are for like the first twelve years of their lives until reality starts to properly kick them in the teeth and they learn that 'Huh, screaming at the top of my lungs everywhere I go when I don't get my way, isn't the best way to make people like me, GO FIGURE!'
I’ve recently been suspended from my job at a grocery store for unrelated reasons, but I honestly thought kids were the best part of the job. Seeing their smiles when they got to use the machine made my day better every time. Seeing them being helpful to their parents always made me feel better, if not a little sad because they should just sit back and let the professional do the work. This is H-E-B after all, not Nike. What always disappointed me however was the amount of kids just sitting in the kid cart on their iPad. Just sitting there watching Cocomelon or Skibidi toilet or whatever kids watch nowadays. I liked the kids who interacted with me and their parents, the ones who I could tell are being raised right and are going to look back on their childhood memories fondly.
as a teen, i appreciate workers that enjoy helping kids, cuz i need it sometimes 😭😭
recently, me and a friend were trying to buy a birthday present with a gift card at a self checkout, and we were whisper-yelling at each other since we were struggling to figure out how to use a card. i ended up realizing we probably looked like we were stealing or something, imagine two teenagers hovering over a self checkout counter whispering worriedly😭😭
i had to convince my friend to let me ask the worker for help, and when i did she laughed and walked us through the steps, it was kinda embarrassing, but i appreciated it:))
Child free grocery stores? So they want people to leave thier kids in the car? Or at home unattended?
Someone just got arrested at my grocery store for leaving her kids in the car at 88 degree weather
literally just go to a different store tf? nobody is saying to leave your kids in a car 💀💀 why are you acting like they HAVE to go to that specific store
There's a store my mom frequents that has a child play place incorporated where a nanny stays to watch the kids.
Pretty awesome. Definitely think more stores should have that kind of thing. Children need places to be children!!!
@@dizzykittehI feel like most stores have the budget to pull that off. Great idea!
@@Im_NotSureI don't understand where the parent is supposed to go to not slightly inconvenience people. Every store has people to potentially inconvenience? And a lot of the people (that would be in these widely accessible stores) don't have the means to just leave their kids at home /nm
@@Im_NotSuresaying grocery stores should be child free is just RIDICULOUS. grocery stores are huge and if you have a problem with kids in them then go to a different place in the store where the kids aren’t?
The worst part is when adults take over spaces for kids and make it unsafe for them, only for other adults to validate the behavior because it's "funny". Then complain when kids are annoying them spaces not designed for kids.
For example: I love kid friendly games and try to keep my behavior as tame as possible/help the kids get cool items in the game intended for them... But other adults have made it their quest to take over sites like Webkinz and Neopets with inappropriate pet names, outfits, and behavior. Then get mad when an actual kid is having fun on the kid friendly website and say it should be their site now.
Feel the same way about chuck e cheese like when they brought in alcohol and all of the sudden adults are sneaking it in and drinking excessively making the place so unsafe
@@Pleiades21 when people go into places like that and act so badly it just makes me wonder why they're there? If it's nostalgia, shouldn't they be acting the way they would as a kid and keep it as pure as their memories???
I can never understand people sometimes.
yeah like roblox literally wth they get mad at 6 year olds on a game for 6 year olds
I remember I went to this place that had two pools, one was by the bar (so it was for adults) and one was just a normal pool. So naturally the kids played in the normal pool. But then other adults started taking over the normal pool and drinking there too and would call the lifeguards anytime a kid would jump into the pool because it was getting them wet. Well no duh you’re at a pool 🤦♀️. There’s nowhere for kids to just exist and just be kids anymore it’s so sad.
that's true. but how do u know that it isn't teens that are doing that too? that feels like common teenage behavior especially like being 15 and calling an obvious 9 yr old cringey. having a sexualized name/outfit or something edgy, gives more older teenager vibes. not middle aged adult
I absolutely hate those people who hate kids for no reason. I always hear people complain about how kids don’t act like kids anymore but when kids actually act like kids, they get harassed for acting like kids. Like LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE
I agree. I also used to be one of those people. I started to hate other children as a symptom of my own abuse, and it was only after a major family tragedy that I was given the mental health support I needed.
So I understand the frustration. And I understand that those people are responsible for dealing with their trauma. But that's just it- they're probably highly traumatized and they won't just listen to us without professional help😢
i don’t like kids because of their personalities. (I’m 15, and when I say kids I’m just generalizing people between the ages of 4-10) i find them mean, annoying and immature. i know they’re still learning the way of the world, but it’s just my personal preference and there’s nothing wrong with it.

@@pinkeln
you can just say you don’t like being around kids, they’re loud and annoying but they’re still learning how to NOT be loud and annoying
I mean, kids can't really be kids at school either.
School is where we send kids to learn to NOT be kids: to not question authority, to not be curious, to not be empathetic, to not be creative...to not be human, essentially. Hell, these days they have cops in schools, too! 🤦🏾♀️
And can kids still really be kids at home? Not a whole lot of people even have homes anymore, they're stuck in apartments...pretty sure the people living beneath them don't want a whole lot of running around in their ceilings... and there really aren't any sidewalks or side streets as much anymore, so say goodbye to bike riding to and from friends' houses all day...
not to mention school is the most likely place that your child will experience bullying for simply existing in that space. that can change their life and behavior dramatically. i completely support online schooling even if it seems "lazy"
People who choose to live in apartments with kids have little right to complain about noise. There are childfree apartments if people prefer them.
New yok 😢 womp womp
@@tc-tm1mymost people don’t really have a whole lot of options where they live but I do agree people need to be more chill when it comes to kids just existing. Some places just have apartments and there’s not really much getting around that. You’re not always going to be able to get into a child free apartment building and stuff.
i think parents forget this. sure, i see other people at school during lunch. but outside of that time i don't get to talk. most importantly i don't get to play around with them during lunch and do fun stuff, i just have to sit down, eat and try to talk.
Anyone that says they’d “drop kick a child” or whatever then turn around and scream social justice just really feels wrong. Anyways commenting this before I finish the video, I’m glad more people are talking about this because seeing all the hatred towards children is just icky.
It's like when people joke about other marginalized groups and hating them but say oh it's fine because I'm XYZ. No you have internalized hate due to trauma, likely from when you were a child. I don't tell my fellow bisexuals we're just disgusting whores but "haha I'm joking" because no, this is STILL painful years later. I believe that we can joke about our pain but there's a limit. We're not kids anymore and I can joke about how I wasn't allowed to be a kid when I should have... but that's not with violence towards children and "oh it's a joke". I think we need to reevaluate ourselves as a society YET AGAIN and retire this.
Yes!!! Having your own trauma does not excuse harming children. It gives a very “children are seen and not heard” vibe and that’s disgusting.

That is crazy how you happily bring up how your baby nephew learned to talk and then they immediately go into saying that babies should all die.
bro they cant say that they were a baby themselves like ?? If babies weren’t here our species would go downhill
Hating kids is so stupid because there’s so many adults that are horrible and actively making our world worse, but instead people choose to ridicule kids who haven’t even been here long enough to do anything wrong. If we want to actually make our world a better place maybe we SHOULDNT shame the children who are our future
for no reason of course because after a certain age they CAN tell things from bad or good
It is just kids are NEVER born bad
They get RUINED by OTHERS(usually by adults)
This is what I don't get. People hate kids because they're loud and annoying as if many adults aren't that but worse...
@@berrymint6384many stay that way through adulthood like my dad
As someone under 13, I was forced to mature at a younger age because of my parents. They kept telling me to act like an adult, and they literally hit me for everything I did wrong, and then as I got older they switched up, I don’t get it??
Me, a 13 year old American, watching as my country fucking tears itself apart over whether a guy should be allowed to kiss another guy or not (very important to discuss)
the lack of third places for kids contributes to why there’s such a place for them on the internet. they dont have access to things other than the internet (and other places in public) and when they're able to access it unfiltered at such a young age, that feeds into the "way they're acting." Let kids be kids again bro.
Yeah. If there was a space/place Where older kids and teens could Just hang out in public spaces where they could intermingle. I'm pretty sure so many would be showing up in person to the point where older folks will actually stop complaining.
It doesn't help that there's also a stigma in a lot of places against just letting your kids go out and do shit on their own.
@@Worm_Void this was me today D:
there's not much to do outside that's free. i have a horse, but my mom doesn't like me outside all day with him when it's 105 here. i don't like being online, and i've been playing pickleball but only at night.
i wandered around the neighborhood for a few weeks but got followed, harassed and got yelled at for accidentally trespassing on a guy's private parking space.
and in general, everytime i'm outside i get judgemental looks from older people. just because i'm a teenager, they assume i'm going to do bad things.
i like doing things with friends but they just happen to all be out of town :p

“Why don’t kids go outside anymore” my brother in Christ, you made going outside impossible to enjoy
there was four preteen boys playing at the retail store i work at yesterday. chasing eachother & pushing eachother in carts. i monitored them to make sure they were being safe & polite, but i didn't want to discourage them because there's not a lot of places they can go to play. it's hot as hell, there's fires going on rn, it's so much. i feel bad for them :
I love kids and genuinely think they're super sweet and funny. They're innocent (and deserve to be). I understand people who want child-free places because there are so many places that are way too inappropriate for kids, but hating kids even though they never did anything to you is weird. Kids cry! Kids get stressed! I work at a grocery store, and I hear kids running, crying, and getting overstimulated all the time. However, I am not usually the one that handles that! I get irritated by adults who complain about crying babies in airplanes. Neither the parents nor the babies have control over that. If you're that bothered by it, don't ride a plane. Plus, they're expensive, anyway...
Kids need child-friendly zones
I feel the same way! I love kids-
it's so amazing to watch this tiny little baby bean become a walking and talking funny little human.
The best is seeing them enjoy things for the first time like whrn my baby niece tried pineapple for the first time and her eyes lit up like she just discovered the meaning of life, or when she pronounces words like pomkmiskle (popsicle) or today I taught her to say hi to other kids (we were at a restaurant and she saw this other little girl and they were waving at each other so I walked her over to her family and introduced oursleves)
It's one thing to not want the responsibility of having a child (I'm disabled and would be unable to take care of a child beyond simple babysitting)
But to actively despise children is just weird.

MOM I’M FAMOUS! 🤩
I know right.. and kids have no choice but to be on the internet since there's no space for them anymore in the real world. I honestly think adults without children should be BANNED from playgrounds. It's not gonna kill them if they go somewhere else..
@@avanikpop This paranoia that any Adult within the presence of children corrupts them goes way too far these days. Society demands we avoid children at all costs or be labeled negatively. As a millennial I give up because civilization is too toxic. Regardless of age the modern world is a dark scary place that we weren't intended for survival in.
Being online has always been unsafe for children, the problem is that the number of places for them in the real world is shrinking rapidly, so more and more children are being lead straight to unsafe parts of the internet.
Thank god my parents have actual brains and genuinely love me so I don’t have to worry about that on the internet 💀
Welp I'm surely gonna be careful
Something that makes me confused is the fact that when kids act like kids their parents tell them to stop being annoying and behave, and when the kid behaves and stays quiet the parent questions their actions, saying “Hey, enjoy ur childhood while you still can!”
Exactly like, what tf do you want them to be?
literally me, when i laughed i was told to be quiet and now theyre wondering why im silent
I was a the type of kid that adults used to like for not causing trouble and being silent, but as I grew up I realized that I missed out on many chances at enjoying my childhood just so I could get praised for being a good kid again and again and I regret it so much. I wish I lived. I find myself acting out now as well due to it
they like kids as tiny little servants when they’re no longer cute n small, then just want them out of their sight otherwise
I feel like people have forgotten how kids are supposed to act and how they acted as kids. Children obviously shouldn’t be in adult spaces. Trying to ban children from all public spaces however is nuts. Being inconvenienced by a toddler who has like 3 total years of experience won’t kill them. It’s ageism. Like how are the kids supposed to never interact with the public but also have perfect social skills with no mistakes? I don’t understand people saying most spaces are child friendly. Adults are in charge and design for themselves primarily. Children themselves are like an afterthought.
That's a problem with people period. They want people with no experience to have expertise. Yet this reasoning is because of how our school systems are structured it harshly punishes mistakes and doesn't really tell anybody what they're doing wrong until it's WAY too late. Nobody can interact because it "angers" somebody else. Everybody is a creep and should just be quiet. Everybody makes it seems like they're so busy that nobody should be able to talk. Yet they're the first ones the have a fit when there's ANY sort of social awkwardness.
Big facts 💯
I get so mad when people hate children, especially when the real problem is always parents, the lack of a village, and society in general. Children are a vulnerable class of humans who deserve love and care, not hate and harm.
the village thing is so stupid, like, that’s YOUR kid why should everyone else be expected to take care of it? also, the people who bitch about not having villages probably never contributed to one in the first place, so they have no right to expect anyone to help them
@@Im_NotSure the village doesn't mean we’re all parents it means that when it comes to dangerous/emotional situations we need good community not jaded individualism. Like for example if I saw a kid about to get kidnapped or something I wouldn't just mind my own business I would call the cops. A child who is mistreated by the “village” will burnt it down for warmth. (Village is in quotes because the village is a stand-in for society and the world, tldr the world should be a safe and good place for the growing kids of the future)
This!! Humans are meant to live in community together. We are a social species.
It is our collective responsibility to raise the next generation.
@@Im_NotSure because our actions affect each other
a teacher at my school was explaining to us the effects of "safety-ism" on younger generations. because parents have to worry about the many bad people out there, children are no longer allowed to bike to their friends houses or go out and play in the field without supervision. meaning that if there's not a parent that's free to watch you, you can't do anything.
this both means children are left isolated from socializing and children don't get any independence at all so they don't get to make decisions for themselves or take small risks.
it's a hard thing because on one hand i've firsthand experienced this as a kid and it's lonely and depressing but on the other hand most times i go outside by myself i get followed or harassed.
"F*** trophies" made my head spin. I will never have kids and will avoid kids as much as possible, but referring to kids like that is batshit crazy.

@@estinaviv"Too sensitive" ugh. People need to go outside and interact with other people. Myself included, but still, no one gets to go around calling children "crotch trolls" and then pretending anyone criticizing them is just overly sensitive. It's ironically a childish way of thinking.

There seems to be a growing trend in many countries. For example, here in Finland, some people wish that the children would stay inside, be quiet and sit in their places "like a proper person" instead of screaming and running outside "like children". And these adults are not ashamed to disapprove of this in public and in front of the children. In addition, it seems that many are happy when the police evict children, teenagers and young people from parks, beaches, malls and cafes, so that they "remain quiet and peaceful for the residents of the neighborhood." And then they were surprised when the kids don't want to go out.
Now I see why people joke about Finland being the happiest (from statistics), yet most depressed country.

the whole “crotch goblin” or other dehumanizing names always rubbed me the wrong way. like you know damn well the same people who say these things about kids would swear tooth and nail that they’re against child abuse but would 100% traumatize a child because they think the kid deserves it.
edit to yap more about this:
to be more specific, im talking about the people who are openly hostile to parents and children. im not talking about the people who just dont wanna be parents. im talking about the people who will specifically exclude family members who have children. i can understand not wanting kids but its a whole different thing when people harass children in public or in their neighborhoods for doing normal kid activities. i feel like its pretty common to know someone or hear someone atleast once make nasty remarks to children and go on to talk about how they want to beat kids for being kids. i personally have only seen that type of mindset from people who make crude remarks about children in that way, calling them demon spawn, crotch goblins, ect. if you stop for a moment and think about how children are also human beings which are trying to learn then these jokes and remarks become way more concerning. and if children are particularly awful why is it that the children are scolded but the parents aren’t? this is the sentiment that i was trying to get across with my original comment.
FRRRRRRRR (def the reddit mofos who br doing this)
it's also extremely inappropriate. i fear for the parents out there just doing their best. they have to live with knowing that there are people so hateful towards children out there that they'd openly call them disgusting names like "crotch goblin."
Like if you’re gonna insult someone at least insult the parent, not the kid. Until the kid reaches a certain age they don’t know anything except what their parents teach them
Love the strawman
I always find names like crotch goblin hilarious, its funny stuff
Also im against child abuse and the only way I would traumatize a child is by doing a stupid joke
Im a child
We don’t even have kid zones IN GENERAL ANYMORE and the AUDACITY to demand child free zones on top of that is INSANE. If you want kids to stop annoying you maybe give them places where they can be kids without adults taking over.
exactly!!! i feel like they're completely ignoring the real problem.
(but yeah don't bring kids into a bar)
I agree! I was recently at tower records with a friend, and there was a small group of kids looking at the vinyl and chatting. My friend was basically fuming, muttering about how these kids know nothing about vinyl and a record shop isn’t for kids. They weren’t touching the recording or damaging anything, they were literally just talking about bands they liked and admiring the album art. Ironically, myself my this same friend used to hang out at tower records as kids as well!
@@caranookThe irony lol
The local grocery store where I lived had a child zone for people to leave their kids at if they wanted for them to play while the parents shopped. It was an enclosed, hole in the wall, kind of area situated by the check out lanes and it was full of toys, board games, video game kiosks, so on and so forth. The entire area had a big glass wall to see into by a lot of people so there really wasn't any risk of the chaperone being a creep or abusive without it being on full display for everyone to see. It worked out well but the store decided for whatever reason to do away with it and now it's just a big conference room which was never used on the regular.
Like, we already have childfree zones anyway, bars and nightclubs being examples
The amount of people I see calling kids "cringe" for being kids is crazy 😭
yknow what though? they are cringe! and good for them! all kids of any generation should have a childhood full of cringe and joy. everyone deserves to look back at their childhood and go ohhh. oh god. that was so cringy. why did i do that
Not caring about others opinion is such a bliss
I mean, kids are cringe pretty darn often. They don't understand a lot of social things yet and they experiment with behavior that adults cringe at. This doesn't make them better worse, everyone is a little cringe. I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging the fact that kids do cringe worthy behavior pretty regularly. Any one with poor/undeveloped social and emotional skills is going to be cringe AF.

when i’m at work and hear a child screaming/crying, i don’t think “ugh shut up, i hate kids”. i think “man i’m also tired, bored and don’t want to be here, i wish i could scream and cry too”. the only time it ever bothers me is when it goes on for a long time and the parent seems to completely ignore them (but thats not the kids fault at all and it makes me feel bad for them)

Yes!
There should certainly be spaces that blatantly don't allow kids (one glaring example being Hooters), but they must be made in conjunction with actual child-friendly spaces. Children have less and less space for themselves already and they know that adults like this don't create any room for them to feel safe. How are they supposed to become well-adjusted adults when they are surrounded by discourse that clearly resents their very existence?
I’m pretty sure the Hooters has like family Fridays or some shit
I don’t know why though, but I’ve seen kids in their advertising for some reason ???
Not only that, but also when spaces made FOR THEM get overtaken by adults and then make that space, that should have been for them, unsafe for them (glaring at the MLP fandom.)
"Child free grocery stores" is idiotic. Its one of the most common places you're going to see a child outside of a park or literal school. Either wear some headphones or go to the store like 1-2 hours before closing time, most kids are asleep by then.
There’s free cookies for kids at my grocery store, doesn’t that mean the store is ok with kids there? (They changed it to free samples, maybe bc kids like me went there, got a cookie, sometimes asked my dad if I could get one, then walked away)
The concept of child free areas is stupid in itself. You wouldn't believe how many people I've met that insisted there should be child free flights in airports, child free restaurants, even places INTENDED for kids that are infested with immature adults (majority of these comments were influenced by the sounds of a crying baby on TikTok).
@jacepawplayz I've seen free cookies, free fruit for kids, AND some grocery stores have tiny carts for kids to push and most carts have a seat in it for kids. It's as parent friendly as possible.
@@estevan764Counterpoint : I don't wanna have to spend an 18 hour flight listening to an infant giving everyone on board a migraine. Public transport is bad enough, and at least in public if a kid is throwing a tantrum you can leave and go do something else. Trapped in a metal box 10,000 feet in the air ? less so
@estevan764 honestly I only half agree with the flight part, but only for the benefit of children. They should have parent friendly flights that allow kids to get used to flying without getting overstimulated, and this could allow parents to know what to expect. But banning from regular flights is ridiculous, airplanes should be ashamed of how little many of them accommodate children and parents. It would be nice if they had a kids flight playlist, an i spy paper, maybe an option to rent a busy board or something. But planes are very restrictive, and kids are naturally energetic. Some people might disagree with me but I think planes should maximize comfort for everyone considering how stressful the experience is, and that should include kids.

Yep, there is nothing that annoys me more than a parent that won't respond to their kid (almost never for an actual reason, often they are on their phones or just staring off into space ignoring their child.) And so now everybody and their grandma has to endure hearing "Mommy? MOMMY? Mommy? Mommy? Mom? Mommy? Mom? Mom? *Crying"* "MOMMY!! " Mom!" And then after 400 bids for attention they'll scream " WHAT?!!"
Like they force the child to request their attention 400 times, but then finally answer right before they give up, thus teaching the child that THIS is the only way to get your parents attention.
I wondered for so many years why kids have this universal, annoying AF " Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy" times 15 behavior, but then I started paying attention and saw that it's because just about every parent makes it the only way.
Even when the parent is in the middle of their conversation and the kid starts, they don't take a second to stop and say " Little Timmy, it isn't nice to interrupt people. When I was young and interrupted everybody, it didn't work, they just talked over and ignored me. You have to be patient and wait your turn. I'll listen to you completely when it's your turn to talk." Nope, they just talk over and ignore them, as if the kid is supposed to understand what's going on and take the hint, then finally explode at the 27th "Mommy!"

THAT SAID. there simply isn't. parents need to bring their kids shopping cuz they can't afford childcare when they're out of the house. they bring their kids shopping so the kids can pick food and other items they need themselves so they can learn to make important decisions. parents bring their kids along cuz the kids are scared to be alone. and god forbid a parent brings their kids along because they like their kids company like whoa god forbid fr god forbid.
like bars and restaurants and spas, fine whatever make some of those places child free that's fine, but there are very good fucking reasons a parent NEEDS to bring the kid to the store. and when one of those kids starts crying in my vicinity, I don't curse the kid for being there. i don't even curse the parent for bringing them. it just makes me sad that the kid is overwhelmed and needs something that they might not be able to get rn, that's all.
i swear the amount of disrespect you get for existing in the presence of an adult as a child is insane. im not a kid anymore but i literally made a pact with myself to never be like that bc the feeling of being hated was so isolating 😐
fr like,, kids pick up on that 1000%
I know a man who bullies kids into crying. And the other adults are like " He's just teasing! Dont cry. "
I dont know how to handle kids but i do know that teasing isn't supposed to make others cry.
Dude needs to grow a pair and start talking shit to people around his age range imo
hate people like that, like you see they’re getting increasingly distressed and you think its funny to antagonize them into a meltdown?? then _you’re_ mad when they wont stfu??
Me after my aunt pushes my buttons and she tells me it’s a joke after I’ve started crying

Dear men, get therapy.
This is kinda fitting because a few days ago I was thinking about the mlp fandom and how adults (at least online) are super willing to push out or shame children in spaces made for them. (Sorry if my wording was weird I was in the middle of a idv round writing this.)
Also happy pride month everyone (especially my fellow aspec folks)
If anyone has videos on this topic please send it my way because I haven’t been able to find any.
I remember that with the bronies! I was actually bullied by them a lot! Like legit adult men bullied me a little girl for liking a show made for little girls cus I was 12 at the time and man they tried really hard to tell me “I was to old for liking it” but they where in the 20’s like wtf! If 12 is too old to like mlp fim what does that make them?! They were so territorial about the show being enjoyed by anyone that wasn’t a bronie, the anger some fans had to the targeted audience was insane and honestly creepy! “How dare little girls like a show made for them grrr” it was scary to be bullied by them as a child and I thought they where these strong scary people now I look back and think how pathetic it and they where as people.
That’s terrible you had to go through that no child should be bullied for liking a show made for them. I remember being a part of the mlp and seeing adults make fun of kids ocs and stuff.
There are quite a few video essays talking about how Bronies basically traumatized MLPFiM’s target audience because they’d just post NSFW/gore on TH-cam and Google Images for any random kid to innocently click on
I think one of the things that started our downward spiral as a society is when we started treating "hates kids" as a personality quirk rather than a personality defect.
I don’t see how people consider children being loud, obnoxious, and generally a nuisance as personality quirks as opposed to personality defects. Like, they can learn to not be annoying and disruptive and instead civil? It’s not like they can be “unable to enjoy their childhood” that way, they can learn to be behaved and also still enjoy their lives.
@@heihogreenzx4704That’s exactly the point. They are in the process of learning. Do you see most adults running around screaming and misbehaving. No. Why? Because those are things you learn not to do **while you are a child**
@@yourlocalsewerrat3675 Yeah, exactly, but it’s no reason for anyone to try and excuse them being loud and annoying. You don’t learn to be not loud and annoying by being loud and annoying.
@@heihogreenzx4704being loud and annoying is literally just being a child. Of course there's a time and place and children should know when to be quiet, but expecting a child to act like an adult is absurd.
@@sunnyBunny-oq5ru Yeah, but everyone’s acting like kids are exempt from any criticism for being loud and annoying.
Why we bullying kids? They didn’t ask to be born
That's what I'm saying...
I hate the world. I hate that children are berated constantly just for existing. I hate that kids are told that their generation is the worst and that they have to be mature, and then people get mad at them when they want to grow up. I hate the double standards of the education system. Nothing makes sense. They didn’t do anything wrong.
And spoiler alert, people don’t get to choose when they’re born, so stop acting like you’re better than everyone just because you grew up in the “good old days.”
Jus because I was born 6 months, I repeat, 6 MONTHS, too late to be a Gen Z by some metrics (2010, but idgaf anyway) I get grouped in with children who are constantly on some sort of screen because their parents don't love them. If you're gonna get mad at kids for acting like kids, you're gonna force them to wanna mature quicker, but if they act more mature, you're gonna tell them to start acting their age! It's fucking ridiculous 😭💀
The “good old days” crowd also have no self awareness in their own right. They don’t acknowledge the social problems of their time and act like society and life was so much better then. Sure, maybe, but who is it that made contemporary society bad? Certainly not my generation or the one after. It’s the adults who consumed and consumed and consumed, and are now pinning it on us to fix the problems they caused. Not to mention that rampant consumerism has been forced upon us, and that cycle is incredibly difficult to break.
@@Acidfrog475 A lot of people from my time (millennials) be telling you younger guys to say offline there's NOTHING for you here. Since we came up seeing things we REALLY shouldn't have, A lot of Gen X parents failed y'all because they either over or underparented. So we're in our spaces chilling then a bunch of y'all come roaring in getting filtered because you ignore the warning it's an adult space. Like why in the hell are kids on Discord of all places... That's the current end boss of talking to legit strangers
@@ExeErdna I get and agree with what you’re saying, but I feel it’s important to note that I very recently turned 20 (like, literally two weeks ago). I’m Gen Z, and think about adoption basically every single day because I really want to become a parent some day.
@@ExeErdna if kids are coming into an adult space then clearly there's some other issue that makes them think it's okay to go there that's been unaddressed, and yes, they shouldn't be there at all, but they're likely going to look for acceptance in a space not meant for them that can be far unhealthier. if you keep treating them like rabid out of control animals, they'll feel more like you have no good intentions for them at all.
also, discord is 13+ (16+ in a lot of european countries), same goes for a lot of other social medias, it's not 18+ besides restricted parts in some socials that are.
unless by kids you mean people under 13, which, being specific is still very important and you still stated 'adult space'.
One of the best ways I’ve heard it put in a sentence was “you’re entitled to a child free life, but you’re not entitled to a child free world”
My issue is never children and is always parents who can't control their children. I should not be getting bumped by your children waving around giant toys in my thrift store's aisles or weaving past them rollerskating on the dang carpet in there. This is not a free play area- people are shopping. My mind never goes "oh that dumb kid", it's always "god these parents need to grab their kids."
but anyways- have you seen the insane amount of hate North West and Blue Ivy be getting? mostly North West. it's disgusting and I want it to stop so dang bad.
ppl calling her untalented among other things is so ridiculous. of course the first person the audience decides to criticize isn’t her parents but the literal eleven year old 😭
You shouldn't control anyone.
@@Demonetization_Symbol be so fr 💀
I usually blame the parents instead of the children, especially when it's so obvious. Some parents just don't know how to discipline their kids. You have one extreme that's just abusive and the other extreme that just doesn't discipline or teach them anything at all.
Yep worked in retail and it’s wild how parents would let their kids run around unsupervised where they could get hurt or let them throw long tantrums and throw things around this is so many people can’t stand kid’s parents have gotten to lazy to raise them properly.
I think kids are annoying. But I think people who disguise their hatred of children as "holier-than-thou" social critique are even more annoying. Like I'll see a kid doing a TikTok dance and think, "haha kinda cringe." People on social media write a dissertation on how the entire generation's brains have melted to mush due to le TikToks and le Twitch streamers and it's an existential threat to humanity. Like they want to hate the child but they also want to feel justified in their overreaction to it, so they invent this insane narrative. Those people are more cringe than any kid.
FR! Meanwhile they were definitely cringe as kids themselves and they were definitely participating in trends when they were children. I know I had a huge fnaf problem as a child that I would consider cringe and you don’t see me harassing kids for being that way 💀
Exactly and the people commenting that bs are like 20. Like yu were just a child not even 3 yrs ago like calm tf down😭😭
To be fair if you weren’t cringe as a child, you are remembering things wrong and you were so I don’t see why they automatically write off any new thing a child wants to do as “generational chaos”
also like,, adults are annoying lmfao EVERYONE is/has the capability to be annoying 😭
i know as an autistic person with extremely sensitive sensory issues i dont exactly like being around kids because they're loud and unpredictable and sometimes they make noises that make me want to rip out my hair strand by strand but that's not an excuse to be rude to them especially to their faces
real even tho i haven't been diagnosed with anything
Same here! I don’t enjoy being around kids, but I do not hate children and I would never shame them for just being kids.
ill be rude ABOUT them but i wont be rude TO them
@@danielsmokesmids same
@@akaghidz also ill recognize that any problem the kid has is most likely the parents fault, and the kids just a kid
banning children from grocery stores is genuinely so stupid, i definitely understand the gut wrenching anger from hearing a kid screaming in a store, but thats the parents fault for not telling their kid in a healthy way that doing that disturbs people
I remember seeing like these signs for a more sensory friendly shopping hour at Walmart,if we implemented that in more places honestly I think people would stop being rude to kids for no reason
i hate how adults can do all they want to kids but the kid can't feel emotions like anger because "It's disrespectful" coming from my own experiences, that does a lot, not even adults, just people older than you. i moved to a new school once and 2 years after I moved I was so good at acting happy and hiding my sadness or anger. as the second year started to close, I got more tired and angry, I started to let it out on my friends. I'm thankful they forgave me and gave me a second chance but what if they didn't? then some adult would come around saying "Thats your own fault" as if you didn't treat me like trash for no reason, one day I lost control of my emotions so much I started crying and shaking at school. that was all in the 5th grade!
i agree. i'm a teenager who over the past few years has lost my cousin, my grandmother and my step-father became aggressive and hostile towards my mother and i and my family friend who i'm very close with recently got diagnosed with cancer again which is scary but also brings back memories of my mom's time with cancer. this is my second time being the child during a divorce and it's not fun.
but anytime people see me not smiling, they laugh and go "oh look at the moody teenager" or just make fun of me for not being bubbly or my favorite tell me it's rude/disrespectful to not be smiling. young people have battles, don't make fun of us for having emotions.
yea fr cuz I liked this one ytber like 3 years ago and my mom would make fun of their name and other things, but I've never done that to her. When I asked her to stop she just continued to belittle me

Saying that there should be MORE child-free zones while there’s barely any child zones to begin with… I mean i agree with the sentiment that people shouldnt bring children in certain places (like clubs and bars, obviously, or certain places that offer services like spas/resorts) but the uprise in people saying sephora/makeup stores should ban children? 😭 I was dragged in makeup stores all the time by my mom. It was boring but one of my favorite things to do in there was getting something from the dollar bin when i could. I don’t think they should be using the testers w/o tester “etiquette” but it just falls on the parents.
Edit: I agree with you ^
this part like how are parents to leave their children in child exclusive zones to enjoy themselves when there are no zones for those children to exist safely?
This would also essentially ban parents (especially mother since they’re often the primary caretaker) from public life. they can’t leave their kid home alone, but if 50% of business ban children how can they go outside?
It does fall to parents and if parents can't teach their kids to behave, stores have no choice but to prohibit kids from being there.
It feels greedy almost because adults have more spaces than kids do and they know this “I know I already have a plate of food but I’m gonna just reach over the table and take some of yours” vibe 💀
And when there are child only zones, adults somehow make their way into them so kids don’t even have safe zones
I thought about this when I saw some "This is why Gen Alpha is hated" video. Really now, because I think there's only one reason. People are misanthropic freaks who choose to spend their free time bullying children. I personally hate the bad parenting that's rampant today, I think children are awesome. I don't want any but that's because I feel I'm too flawed to do it well.
Children are not awesome, they are a pain to be around, and they genuinely bring out the worst in fanbases whenever they start joining, be it of their own doing or not.

I have younger siblings and a natural maternal instinct do I may be biased here, but I've found that supposed child friendly spaces are often made unfriendly by adults.
Me and my family went to watch the sonic movie when it first came out and a bunch of teenage to college aged people obviously went there for the memes and were yelling and swearing the entire time.
Adults will smoke around kids with no regard for their health. They'll curse and fuck up and get drunk at parties that have kids there.
Also, they're acting like these places aren't also overwhelming for kids. Kids need to run around and the more they're told you cant do that or getting yelled at by their parents, the less they understand. And I'm neurodivergent and get overwhelmed by adults making a racket a lot. Have my entire life. And when they go to a general area clearly drunk and making a fool of themselves, it's even worse.
My family was at a sports club for my grandparents last anniversary before my grandad died and my little brother, aged nine at the time, had a drunk guy fall on top of him ass first when he was half their size. It's not fun.
These areas aren't kid friendly at all because people make them unfriendly.
yes, exactly!!! every time i go to disneyland, i hear several people yellling swear words. walt disney wanted to make it enjoyable for adults too, but he still made it for kids.
That is true. A lot of people are very selfish, the nature of children forces you to be selfless, and people hate that sadly
@@lpstweetytv5242 blatantly wrong, literal human nature is selfish, including children. If you pretend they’re selfless by nature, you’re a bold-faced liar.
For the sonic movie i can explain why there were also older people....Sonic is a pretty old character with fans from a wide age range, so its only normal that teens and up would go watch the movie and not just for the memes
@@joseantoniovargas6548 Still, it's very inappropriate to loudly talk and swear over a kids movie when the majority of the audience was visibly families.
Also, I could tell from the way they were speaking and the remarks they made that they were there ironically.
A good example of this is the "record player is inside of it" girl - like yeah it was funny the first time but people were SO mean to her and just making fun/bullying her in comments and stitches 😭 Like no OFC she doesn't know the ins and outs of a somewhat obsolete device - she's like 9 years old at the latest and probably just saw her fave artist and wanted to buy it (like any normal kid). It was giving that one episode of the Ellen show where all the boomers laugh at that girl for not being able to fold a map...
Dude I hate that shit so much!! I question the mom for recording that too like- of course she isnt gonna know what a record player is because you never told her or she has never seen one like why are you muttering???? This could have been a funny memory for the both of them but nah let's record it for views
maps are hard to fold,those people suck.
The record player girl slander is funny. And I like kids
I am very, VERY happy that someone made a video about this, and normally I try to avoid ranting about stuff online, but I just really need to put this out somewhere
I am 17 years old, close to becoming a adult, and the way this world treats children sickens me deeply. I’m not lying when I say that children (and teenagers) are the biggest, most vulnerable minority/group of people on earth. Let me just name a few examples of children who are already suffering: kids living in poverty, kids living in war zones, kids in abusive households, kids who were raped/sexually abused/groomed, homeless kids, children in foster homes/in the system, children of color, black children, brown children, Native American children, Palestinian kids, kids who are part of the LGBTQ, neurodivergent and mentally ill children, disabled kids, kids who were kicked out of their homes, child soldiers, runaways and etc etc.
And on top of all that shit, they have to deal with the fact that people don’t even see them as humans.
They aren’t “fuck trophies”, they aren’t blessings or angels, they aren’t burdens or plagues.

Call me the fun police or whatever, I'll always roll my eyes at people who go on tirades over hating children or make jokes about hurting them when they're already some of the most vulnerable in our societies. You refusing to empathise or understand what may cause them distress - especially if they have a hidden disability or an unpleasant home life- is not their problem.
You are no fun police!
Man being the fun police if you just wanna have good morals and be a nice person that respects other people is crazy bro I think the internet is ruining people
I find it really odd when people get mad about stuff like abusive parents and the media sexualizing kids, and then the next second go on about wanting to dropkick a baby. Like, you do realize that if you feel passionate about those issues (as you SHOULD), it means you care about children, right?
I totally get being upset when older people hound you about having kids, but like, that’s grandma’s problem, why take it out on kids for existing? It’s completely possible to know you don’t like or have patience for something without hating it outright, imagine if people said they wanted to burn down a school just because they felt too much social pressure to go to college

I mean there's a huge difference between joking about something and actually doing it... Yeah someone JOKING about drop kicking a kid will be pissed off about pedophilia... Or parents who beat/starve kids.
as a teen, i just wish people would be nicer to kids. the truth about children and teens is that we are vulnerable and completely reliant on our parents. i've heard adults joke and brag about how hard they beat their kids, sometimes to the point where they needed to go to the hospital. children can't protect themselves from the people who are supposed to care for them. they can't protect themselves from the people who call them "crotch gremlins" or get so angry at their mere presence that they want them banned from grocery stores. and, in sympathy for the good parents out there, they can't always protect their children from the people who hate them just for being children.
Same this is truly sad seeing kids getting abused..
I’m getting sick of people who hate younger generations as a personality trait. Which.. is usually millennial or gen X. As they seem to be the most vocal about hating kids

I've grown up with low self esteem and the amount of adults who have said mean things to me as a child is wild. Or even just kids a little older than me. kids are people too.
Yeah, and adults are always like kids shouldn't have opinions, rights, etc, that's basically saying that they shouldn't be human, adults also complain about kids not respecting them when the kids' parents aren't doing the same to their own children, like how do you expect respect if you don't give it out to that person. Adults have to realize that we kids/teens ARE their future, we'll be taking care of them in the next 20-30 years while they're in wheelchairs or suffering from some age-related disease.
the people who hate kids simply because they think its quirky are more annoying than a child could ever be
being childfree is one thing, I myself am a fencesitter, but it’s so weird to actively hate on children. like they’re the ones who are gonna grow up to be your nurses in the retirement home be nice 😂

I’m gonna be honest, I personally can’t stand little kids. Their yelling stresses me out a lot and some of them can just be insufferable to be around. HOWEVER, people who constantly “””joke””” about hurting kids REALLY rub me the wrong way. If you don’t like them, awesome, cool, just say you don’t like them then.

That's why I hate adults:/
They always expect teens to act like adults but get mad and make fun of them when they dress or act older
As a child, I feel like I’ve been kicked out of (socially not physically) everywhere I enjoyed. I loved to browse Sephora and Ulta I was always respectful to the products and people but now I feel like if I go those I will be looked at filmed without my consent and had people be rude to me for simply existing in the same room as them (all of which have happened before). I used to go to the movies, but now they are too expensive for my family to afford. Online I’ve been shamed for liking adult shows. I can’t afford to have a streaming service so I have to watch internet cartoons, mostly adult cartoons. I understand concerns about inappropriate content but you must understand the fact that attend a public middle school, I’ve heard and seen worse. And every time I find a community online I’ve been shamed because “you’re too young to be on the internet”, but where the heck am I supposed to go? The park? My city doesn’t have one. The library? My parent can’t just leave me there alone and he works to much to go with me. A restaurant? Same problem. I have 2 options according to everything I’ve said, read the very few books I own outright (can’t go to the library very often), or stare into a wall. Because I was shamed into stopping collecting my dolls that I enjoyed because I’m “not 5 anymore”. So of course I’m gonna be on the internet. That’s why I feel like teens specifically need places to go online *and* physically. Thank you for reading my long rant.
I'm good at taking care of kids. I was the oldest of my cousins and always taking care of them. I was often adultified at a young age not only at home when I became the primary care of my sister, but even at school because I was seen "mature for my age". The first job I got was helping children experiencing extreme scenarios like the foster care system and parents under criminal investigation cope and adjust as my first job...an illegal age for how many hours I was working because I was a child myself. I'm also childfree, more or less because of my experience.
I think a lot of people hit the nail on the head when they talk about the lack of third spaces, but there is other layers that people are missing when they discuss this
The economic classism of it all. Wealthy people DO have third spaces and child free spaces. This is a non-wealthy people problem. Meanwhile non-wealthy people are working longer hours for less money. When they go to their affordable choice of leisure for the 2 days (if they are lucky) they have off and a child is there, it does feel like their whole world is crashing down. Historically when people are buckling under the socio-economic weight of inequality, instead of going through the daunting task of reflecting on the systematic structures at hand and potentially spiraling into nihilism or admitting they have to work for change, they target the most visible minority who is vulnerable and shift the blame on them because that is a target that is more within reach. There is are reasons why there is a correlation (IMPORTANT: NOT CAUSATION) between the general poverty level of an area and the amount of animal and child abuse, and it's one of the most well documented correlations when it comes to those two things.
Also through the internet, it's become more clear how strongly the environment children are raised in and consuming affects their worldview. Pipelines and echo chambers are becoming more prevalent as social medias become these giant monoliths, we are giving power to what these little kids are saying (ex: a 13 y/o's opinion) because they are venting the most out of touch shit possible and it's going viral. We also need room for decentralized spaces like the geocities era so children can have a space to be cringe in and not become the latest viral debate.
For clarification on the first point; yes there are a lot of places that are child free by design, but oftentimes wealthy places are child free by the virtue of the etiquette of the society surrounding them and pricing out families. The same places that have child free resorts also have places for said children to go. They have things like bars and restaurants where you can leave your kids to be babysat while you enjoy yourself. They are super fucking expensive.
Meanwhile my favorite bar offers really good deals for some yummy meals with big portions if you also buy a drink and no matter what hour I go there, there are always parents with 2-6 kids there too running around being kids. It doesn't bother me because that's not the kid's fault AND it's not the parent's fault either. We are both going here instead of the nice expensive bar for the same reason. We are working the same types of job and are buckling under the same weight. Let's not be so quick to throw the parents under the bus because they are struggling too.
Its clear that many people forget that they used to be kids too. Everyone probably has their own childhood memories of being belittled and ridiculed for their interests, talked down to, and the constant frusteration of not being 'right' for the world yet because of their age. Weird that many people hate children and refuse to understand them when they themselves were once in the exact same place.
The movement has actively made some people with kids more hostile, too. It's understandable considering some of the "jokes" made but still. I went to see The Grudge Remake back in 2020 (terrible movie btw) and in front of me, I saw a woman with two like ten years enter the theater. I asked her, "Are you guys in the right theater?" Because R rated horror movie. I probably shouldn't have been nosey, but she snapped at me that "she can't take her kids to see whatever the hell she wants." Backed off because okay, sorry, I didn't mean to piss you off. They ended up leaving right around the scene where John Cho murders his pregnant wife. I know it's legal, but I have to wonder about some of the movies kids are allowed to see because their parents said yes.
As someone who is easily annoyed by children, it's because more and more kids have never been disciplined or taught right from wrong. The amount of times that I have seen children in the double digits walking up to touch strangers because they have on a cool outfit or going up and messing with someone's table at a restaurant is more than 10 for each situation. People that don't like kids don't like disrespectful kids (for the most part). It's because I've had to deal with so many kids that don't understand anything and just do whatever they want because their parents have never in their entire life told them no
I have an issue with people who invade the toy isles in stores and film sexual things for tiktok, or do inappropriate things becauss it's "funny". Children are already, like you said, limited in the world nowadays. Schools are unsafe, playgrounds are predatory breeding grounds, and the only places that children can safely exist are their OWN BACKYARDS!! Why are we hating on ipad kids when that's what us as a society is forcing onto our children?!
Yeah that a milennial issue I honestly blame them honesty
People treat animals with more love and care than actual childeren and that worries me
I’ve heard people say it’s ok and the child’s fault if they’re bitten by an animal…and that the kid should be put down instead. Oh…!
that is so TRUE 😔
Hey man, I like children, they're cool and all, but I love my dog.
EXACTLY. They act like animals don’t misbehave either.
they should be equal
As a tween, (I know I probably shouldn’t be here) adults are really judgmental, like if I were to see someone my age acting like an animal I would go “alright, that’s not my thing but if it makes you happy that cool for you” whereas with the adults I’ve seen, if they see someone my age acting like an animal they would go “ew that’s so gross and weird, you need to be more mature for your age”, you see the difference? Kids are way less judgmental than adults and their also a lot more accepting, the reason we are so mature is because we are told to be more mature and to “stop acting like a child” I am way more mature than most adults I’ve seen, ofc not everyone acts like this, kids can be judgmental and adults can not, but it’s just very hard to live in a world where everyone is telling you what you can and can’t be. Thanks for reading 👍
Honestly ur right tbh
thank you for commenting! and yeah, there will always be people of all kinds in all age groups. as someone who was a tween not too long ago, I'm in the same boat as you where certain types of judgment aren't really my thing. Like I'm not gonna care about someone's behavior or interests in general, as long as it doesn't affect me or anyone I care about in my life. But that's still me being judgmental though. I'm just judging the situation as one that I don't want to care about. everyone's a bit judgmental. Even in your comment you are judging some adults to be more judgmental, which they are, so you are correct in your judgments. but it's still judgmental. you still made judgments (defined as the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions). do you see what I'm saying?
i think the real issue is people ignoring context and nuance in their judgments, basically ignoring logic and critical thinking. Like if I see a kid acting like an animal, my understanding of kids is that kids do that, and I'm going to let kids be kids unless things get out of hand. That's acknowledging the context of their age. If another adult sees that and thinks they need to be institutionalized or something, they're ignoring that same context and are taking things too far. However, if I see an adult acting like that, I think I would judge the situation as one of concern. I don't know if I would do anything else in that situation other than keep my distance, but still.
i think there will kind of always be expectations about what people can and can't be, for legal reasons, but also human nature reasons. it is in our nature to expect certain behaviors and attitudes from others due to the cognitive schemas we naturally build up via our life experiences and memories. and I think that these expectations can be mixed, good and bad. for example, as a society, we generally hold parents to the expectation that they SHOULD be responsible parents. that's a good expectation that should exist, for the safety and welfare of kids and generations to come. Some people also have the expectation that kids should be more mature, quiet, perfect. that is a bad expectation; it is irrational, unreasonable, and unrealistic. if we don't tell parents that they should be responsible for their kids or how to be responsible for their kids, telling them what they can or can't be, we're setting them up for failure. and if we expect kids to be on any sort of healthy path of life without proper caretakers and role models, we are setting them up for failure as well.
basically tldr, there is a necessity for judgments and expectations, being judgmental is somewhat inherent to human nature, but with judgments and expectations, there should also be nuance, logic, and critical thinking.
there is a time and place for open-mindedness, and a time and place for making judgments as well.
if you read all this, thank you as well. hope you have a great day/night.
Adults bully tweens and kids like this and then pull the surprised pikachu face when they become “moody angsty teenagers”
As a gen z we feel you that why we felt normal being adult
Most adults lost that themselves, I know I did. I was forced to grow up because my people had issues. It's why a lot of adults act worse now than ever becuase they're being a child in an adult space. Thus cutting off children from being in said space then a lot of Gen Y and Gen X left a lot of spaces behind. Since Arcades were dying when before I was 18, I never cared for rolling rings, etc. As a kid yet so many adult spaces are JUST former spaces for kids. Like Dave and Busters is just Chuck E Cheese for adults. I understand why since we have spare money that we can blow up at these spaces. As a kid going to an arcade was a money sink since $5 was a lot when you're 7. SO y'all got screw because a lot of grew up too fast and we forgot how we had bad too.
I feel like the main problem is parents not being parents helping their children learn to properly interact with the world and lack of places designed for children to be children.
It WAS suppose to be school yet school now is basically a puppy mill and they wonder why kids are crashing out. These kids are in some of the worse conditions and then teachers, parents and admins are expecting ZERO trauma from it? When they ignore the food is bad, the lessions are bad, too much homework, they're being exposed to violence, they have to get up early and stand in the bad weather conditions or they risk getting in trouble. They can't get sick and the list goes on. It was bad nearly 20+ years ago and it just got worse for kids. Since Parents were teens they went screw and went inside. Now as parents their kids never knew what outside really was.
from the perspective of someone who has experienced neglect, childfree grocery stores are the worst idea imaginable. my mom went from leaving my siblings and i in the hot car to leaving us at home, not just for groceries but for every errand that "didn't require" us. kids need to exist in public spaces to develop properly
Let me sit next to the crying baby on the plane, if your child asks for some of the candies I'm eating I will always share, I will play whatever made up game my nephews want to play. Children deserve joy, I wish it could be seen as perfectly normal to give candy and toys to strange children. My favourite thing to do is to buy groceries for the people behind me, I wish it was okay to give gifts to kids for no reason 😭
Awww you're such a sweet person 🥺

I'm someone who doesn't want kids, doesn't partculary want to be near kids (they're usually sensory nightmares) but i can never truly understand straight up hating them or wishing pain on kids, i've seen people say some horrible stuff about children on the internet and act like they're not in the wrong for saying it.
I've never understood the hatred towards children. It's like ppl forget they were also once kids and just lack empathy towards them. Like yeah, they're annoying but so was I when I was their age and so were so many others. They were literally born not too long ago. They're still navigating the world like everyone else. I also hate child-free people who come online to shame and attack parents and talk about how "miserable" parents are and how they don't have to deal with that. Like ok? If you don't want kids, that's fine but don't shame parents who have kids and make it seem like they're miserable. They don't like when ppl pressure them to have kids or attack them for not starting a family so why do it to those with a family? I like kids and hope to have at least 1 or 2 in the future (If I can because I do have an irregular/longer period than normal) so I hate seeing ppl attack them and insult them, especially since they're still CHILDREN🤦🏾♀ . Also about the child-free spaces, are kids supposed to be locked up all day?? Like why can't kids also enjoy they're lives? They're already restricted considering they really can't do anything without their parents or their parents consent and so going out to places like restaurants or grocery stores are their only time to get out and have fun. I know for me, that was the case. I was never really allowed out on my own unless it was nearby so going to the grocery store or restaurant or just anywhere that's not nearby was fun to me. And about the bar thing, kids shouldn't be going to bars and I'm tired of seeing parents (and ppl in general) "adultifying" (probably not a real word lol) kids. Like the weaves, lashes, cussing, inappropriate dancing, bars, club themed parties, pole dancing etc. It's too much! Let kids live and let kids be kids!
The fact that those people act like they themselves were never children-
@@epicverse42 exactly!!
It's basically making a kid a Vivziepop descendant.
usually because adults treated them the same way
@@AfroGothixa generational cycles
As a young person, the thing i hate the most, is adults who act like i dont have anything to say and ignore me, like, what
Especially at family gatherings or gatherings in general, it's either they completely ignore you and expect you to instantly make friends with a bunch of random kids outside of your age group or lock you in a room with those same kids and expect you to be silent, sophisticated, and still.
Omg yes😭
Well, that was 2 sides. I understand it can be frustrating to be ignored by adults if their family or close to your family as I experienced that as a young child. However, at the same time I wouldn't just go up and converse with my younger cousins because I'd probably end up bothering them.
never understood the hate towards kids. im an older brother to three younger siblings, and i used to help around in my moms classroom when she was a teacher. they were all super sweet, and i enjoyed hanging with them. couldn't deal with kids of my own as i have serious issues with being a control freak, but even then i find it far beyond me to lash out at a kid for my own issues.
people dont seem to understand that kids are also living breathing humans with thoughts and opinions and it confuses me majorly.
@@dilflover69_ Parents expect them to be servants of them. Which is so wrong several levels.
Before I became diaabled I used to work as a school secretary and I taught sunday school and the kiddos brought so much joy to my day.
Like we had one little girl who always made it a point every day when coming in and wehn leaving to make her mommy or daddy stop by my office so she could say Hi to me and i would drop everything to give her a Hi-five and tell the parents to have a good day.
My favorite story tho is we had on little boy who was just a bundle of energy and it was halloween, well he was so excited abt his classroom's halloween party that afternoon that he straight up ran out of the classroom, ran down the hall into my office, did a little excited dance and then ran back to the classroom before the teacher even knew what happened. No words, just pure excitement 😂
Those kids are teenagers by now and I wonder if they remembwr me b/c i sure remember them ❤
i wouldn’t want kids but hating on them is useless cause im gonna see them in life regardless so why even waste time
As an educator I clicked on this video so fast. I mean I hate a crying baby on a plane too but I'm not mad at the baby just the fact that the sound is occurring. I'm someone who was raised well with such loving parents and yet I still have trauma from miscellaneous things that went wrong or I didn't understand. I really worry about how kids who have been exposed to the last few years of social media during their developing years are doing
We 100% need safe spaces for children, but we do need to bar children from certain places.
We shouldn’t have casinos with family friendly attractions _Circus Circus Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas_
I want children but sometimes I look at r/childfree because it is FULL of stuff like this. I remember specifically one day there was a post of someone angry that children were at an aquarium
i think to make an entire movement based on subverting expectations and turning it into hating each and every child you come across is so gross. these movements usually harbor a lot of negativity towards children for what ever reason and it just becomes a circle jerk of freaks seeing kids be normal in public and patting themselves on the back cus they just value their own life too much to be a parent. kids are fkn hard to deal w and nobody should have kids if they don’t want them but my god to act like they are undeserving of basic respect is just so ridiculous.
Have you seen the dogfree subreddit? Those people take the cake.
Literally if they're so pressed that kids exist in public then they should just become a hermit or something 💀 they really gonna make themselves miserable over kids they don't know?
I get being upset that like, a kid is being dragged to an adult space like a bar-
But an aquarium?? That's an all ages space. I love overhearing their conversations and my favorite thing to overhear when they ask about an animal that their parent doesn't know, do the parent just reads off the plaque that the kid didn't see. Idk but it just feels so charming to watch, seeing a parent help their kid learn in whatever way suits them.
@@lihuancult1965 bigger dogs intimidate me and my mom was attacked by one (she’s okay now it was years ago) and also because some of them are untrained and will chase you down the street or jump on you but I don’t hate all big dogs and think they should d!e😭 I get cautious in public and walk the other way when I see one but I don’t HATE them that subreddit is fcking crazy
As an 11 year old girl the bullying just for existing is crazy like weren't they're an kid to before? Literally someone on the school bus pushed an kid and they felled and the kid started crying the kid was just trying to find an seat since the bus was crowded i wish the world was nicer ):
Some adults: why are kids invading adult spaces?
Those same adults when they see Bluey,MLP or any other children's media: it's free R34!
(This is only talking about adults who are creepy about Children's media,not people who genuinely like it)
And they put it in pg 13 spaces rather than more adult spaces.
@@SaltedroastedcaramelYes.
i was apart of a "feminist" group on facebook back in the day and i SWEAR 80% of it was hating on kids. i said "you're allowed to hate kids and I'm allowed to think you're an asshole because you hate ANY group of human beings. it's still bigotry." i was promptly kicked out lol.
there is NO group of people who are more vulnerable than children. that's when the most severe trauma usually happens.
Since when we start taking feminist seriously?
@@Ziggyhere57 When we started taking you seriously....😒
Right? I got kicked out of a feminist subreddit for saying something along the lines of "Don't use male rape victims to silence female rape victims". As a feminist myself, they screamed about men doing it to them, but when someone outright tells people not to do it, You kick them out???? Reddit even permanently banned me for getting angry at misogynistic pigs.
When I was 13-14 I was one of those people who HATED kids (I know its ironic coz I was just barely not a kid but shhhh). I wouldnt joke abt hurting them, but anytime someone mentioned them I would talk abt how much I hated them. Then when I was 16 I realized I never actually hated kids, I just hated the idea of taking care of/being in charge of them. Its just that whenever I thought of kids I didnt think of actual kids, I just thought of the stress that taking care of them caused me. My experience with kids had always been either me taking care of them and stressing out about it or people constantly telling me when I grow up Ill be a mother and love them or whatever, so I attatched those bad experiences and blamed it on hating kids intead of just not being able to handle taking care of them. And I feel like thats true for a lot of people who say they hate kids. Tho joking about hurting them is always weird to me no matter the reason who you say you hate kids
Honestly especially with the gender roles of women always being told when theyre young that their purpose in life is being a mother really does sour the idea of children for a lot of people. Like you mentally connect the idea of children to people telling you your purpose in life is to be a mother. It sucks so much but thats what Ive experienced and noticed with some others who say they hate kids. Obv not true with everyone but you get the idea
13/14 still is a kid
@@MrPizza_0919 I know- thats why its quite ironic. But when I say "kids" in this comment I mean kids from the ages 2-10. At the time I didnt consider myself a kid but I very much was
as an older gen "alpha" (i'm 13), it honestly pains me seeing all the stereotypes that i'm considered to be as stupid and young as some fetus, and then those same people go around and act like i'm committing crimes just because i'm a young teenager. but i hate it when i'm treated like i'm a child, because 90% of the time all children (anyone under 18) are considered babies. i'm not a baby. you can't even go into a child-friendly space without being represented by weird af colors and toys and music all acting like you just popped out of the womb. ageism is terrible, and the babying is even worse. we can't be kids anymore
Exactly, I'm 12, and I've seen some really smart Gen alphas go to college at such a young age. But I think we should be kids for as long as we can. (Besides, I only have one year left)

As a kid thanks for this. I’m tired of people treating me as if I’m an alien and unknown species until I turn 18. I want my feelings to be taken in consideration by the adults around me. I want to play a roblox game without someone older than me bullying me or taking over the space and making it inappropriate to be in. Let me play Brookhaven, adopt me, simulators, meepcity and other games without calling me cringe. By adults, I’ve been ostracized from going outside so my only comfort is inside and on the internet and I know there is never any app where you will be safe at all. Even the ones that are designed to be safe. I’m not childish for doing childish things because I literally AM A CHILD. Let me play with toys and slime and play peaceful roblox games without getting threatened by an older teen or adult. Let me wear kid clothes because I AM A CHILD. Let me be in kid spaces because I AM A CHILD. Let me be a kid society!
This reminds me of how some people say that teenagers can’t get gender affirming care because they think that just because we’re not an adult means we are stupid and don’t know anything about what we want and who we are
Edit: key word, “Reminds me”
My mom constantly made the point to me that “you’re so young! I don’t think you should label yourself!” Well then why should I label myself as a girl? The hypocrisy is real.
The argument is not that we’re “stupid”, it’s that our brains aren’t fully developed enough to make such a life altering choice, especially during a time filled with so much change and self-discovery anyway. I can’t really see how the point of this video applies to this situation.
@@kirataylor5199 it’s kinda related to the video because I feel like some of the people featured in the video are acting like children aren’t people which reminded me of the people who said what I was talking about in my comment. When I was watching the video I thought of it, so I left a comment to continue the discussion. Is that not what the comments are for?
@@kirataylor5199 I think a good argument for that is how low the detransition rates are
@@kirataylor5199Cause it’s a kid who doesn’t know what they want who’s commenting. That’s a whole other serious thing. It includes drug blockers and surgeries, that’s not normal and teens and kids for sure can’t make that decision. And if you look up the things behind that “care” and what those doctors really think, you’d believe they are monsters. No other mental illness says the cure is to enable it
kids don’t act like kids because people make fun of them for being kids.
I'm so glad someone made this video!
I feel like a broken record having to tell adults that just because I'm a kid with less experience, it doesn't mean my opinions are invalid and "wrong." People who think that all adults are smart, wise, brave, etc... need to know that every person is different, and we all are way too diverse to be put into tiny boxes like that. On top of that, I've had adults (in person and online) underestimate me and say things like, "Well, you know how kids are" if you seriously need to use age as an ad hominem for your point, your point most likely wasn't good to start with. I think some adults aren't as mature as they think.
As a adult they aren’t
soo tired of hearing ppl complain about kids, they are trying to live like the rest of us
No wonder kids wants to grow so fast. Being constantly ridiculed by society and not having any freedom to do anything isn’t any fun. Adults have more freedom and aren’t made fun of. :(
And then the kids who grow up too fast are made fun of too. It’s a no win situation trying to please child hating weirdos
That’s me…
People just hate when humans are still learning to be human or get frustrated when you're not exactly like them. This lends to everyone from children, to the disabled, to personality disorders, to survivors of extreme trauma (think Gypsy Rose who clearly doesn't know how to be a person in society yet). When I got out of a trafficking situation (way more common than you'd think) and needed to learn how the world functioned for the first time I was treated like SHIT by society and so were the people in my support groups in the same situation. Hell, when I ran to a hospital I was turned away with a ton of attitude because I didn't have ID or a health card yet. Just a few months ago I saw someone's boss scream at a disabled person for not being able to drive a car- something they never lied about. This hatred of people who need time to grow and understand things also lends I feel to how defensive people get if they ever make a mistake. It's like people see learning and growing as this horrible crime. We as a society need to stop being such selfish assholes and help each other instead.
Yeah and babys get hate too and when i see people in online saying I hAte bAByS bCS tHeY cRy they Are still learning imagine you Are being Born and you think you will get loved NO you get hated by people bcs they think babys Are annoying bcs they cant speak and the only think they Can do Is cRy bcs they cant speak and parents Are trying baby to speak and talk and you still Mad? Go #### yourself: sorry if i sweared i AM just tired of this hatred of babys):
Dav Pilkey talks about this a lot in the Captain Underpants series, particularly the second half of the series. He talks about how happy kids often slowly turn into grumpy adults due to pressure in their lives, and how most adults don't look within themselves to see what changed, preferring to just stay grumpy adults. And he wrote all this in a kid's book.
For this, Dav Pilkey is my most respected writer of kid's books.
10:26 people really don’t understand how very few spaces are child friendly. Especially in cities, most of the world is quite boring and even hostile to children.
EXACTLY!!!! And it is depressing cause today children have nothing other than brainrot content to live by.
The reason Kids are becoming "worse" is because the media likes to highlight the more chaotic and controversial side of things because it's more interesting than being a normal human being.
We do this with EVERYTHING!
Highlighting the shittiest times of everything.
And people wonder why no talks about it anymore!
as a teenager, I absolutely agree, like im 18, I still consider myself a kid but get weird looks even from friends and like those friends are usually really anti-hate, progressive and stuff
im not talking about cis white teenage boys, Its just ridiculous how they are so ready to feel superior to kids based off of nothing
As Gen Z get ready for more as an adult
When I say I don’t like kids, I don’t mean I hate them with my entire heart. No, of course not! I don’t hate kids, I just don’t enjoy it when people give their children to me to watch, especially at family gatherings. I’ll play with kids, I don’t mind. But it bugs me when parents/guardians don’t watch or properly socialize and teach their kids that no, you can’t pull peoples hair. No, you can’t have my phone, you can’t have my food. I’ve met the sweetest kids in the world, and they are always so great to be around. But please, PLEASE don’t just drop off your kid to me. I don’t want to take care of your kids while you go drink.. or whatever adults do. I don’t mind the crying, the mess, it’s simply the lack of parenting and attention these kids are getting, and how I’M expected to watch over them. I have to focus on school work, and I want to actually enjoy being a teenager/young adult. If I want to watch your kids, I’ll become a babysitter, or offer.
people act like hating children is a personality trait. I tried to show someone a picture of my friend's new baby and her immediate reaction was “Oh, I hate kids”. Like- what do you want me to do with that information? Or anytime the conversation turns to kids, many people will instantly say, “I don't like kids” or insult how infants and children look like as if it’s a knee-jerk reaction.
As a person who actually likes children: Disliking children is just as much of a personality trait as liking them or being a parent.
Truth be told, anything, LITERALLY ANYTHING at all that you want or choose, is a personality trait because THAT is how personalities work... 🫠
I am a 30, it's ironic that these adults are acting like spoiled children. That was the scariest thing I learned about the world as a teenager. The fact that most adults are just tall children running the world.
