What would attacking a child say about a person?

8 Comments

There is some adults who like to attack and belittle kids by saying that they are superior since the children have not accomplished as much as them. The adults say stuff like they graduated High-school with good grades and had all these jobs and how this child has not done any of that. They can do this to kids as young as 5 to kids middle school age 13. What does that really say about the adult though? The kid can not argue they are in fact worth anything because what the adult said is in fact true and the adult did accomplish all this stuff first and so the child is still worthless.

    It indicates that the adult is insecure enough to verbally attack a child.

    Seems a rather flawed argument, as you said. But if you've ever been an adult around a teenager, then rational thought just doesn't enter the equation, ever. Most teens consider themselves entitled to anything they wish and smart enough to ignore any instructions, advice or suggestions from those older and with more experience.
    Why is it teenagers think that adults couldn't possibly understand what they are going through? Do they really think adults sprang to life as adults and didn't have to go through bullying, peer pressure and authority figures, just like they are experiencing? It is exactly this irrational thought process that shows just how immature and unprepared to do as they wish and think best, they really are.
    But that is your point, is it not?

      Adults are suppose to be rational/responsible. Even if a teenager/child is not rational. So saying its okay for an adult to act like a 4 year old since they are in fact around 4 year olds is really flawed. An adult sitting a 4 year old and saying "well I broke the toys because he called me dooty head" do you think anyone is going to buy that? Also adults have the experience but they no longer have the mindset a teenager/child does. Are you saying that teenagers/children are automatically worthless and have less of a right to exist next to an adult that accomplished all this stuff since they lived longer?

        No, I'm saying most teenagers are an immature bunch and often consider themselves entitled, but rarely show themselves worthy of that entitlement.
        I never said shit about 4 year olds and actually agreed with your overall assessment, I believe. "Seems a rather flawed argument, as you said." But if you wish to twist my words and ignore what I did write, just so you can berate me, well have a wonderful time. Dumbass.

          Im not really talking about self entitled teenagers. I am talking about adults who go out of their way to tell every single person (Usually much younger) how worthless they are for not being where they are. When they lived far longer than these people and probably are going to be ahead of these people no matter what. Since they lived longer. Your also only focusing on teenagers but a 4 year old is not one. Like a 60 year old saying "I am awesome because I reached retirement and your stupid because you did not" to someone who is 14". Well yeah you cant reach retirement till around that age how can you expect to compete with a 14 year old?

    Sometimes children and even younger teenagers need to be knocked down a peg so that they can stop thinking they know everything and that they are as wise as people many years older than them.

    I realise I'm only a few months away from turning 20 and that automatically causes people to assume I am no wiser than a young teenager, but I'd like to think that I don't really group myself with most teenagers. I always got along great with people older than me and can't really stand people younger than myself, besides really small kids.

    However, when in conversations with young teens or kids and they try to come off as totally wise and experienced, I get the hell in and knock them down a peg so that they realise their place.

    I only do this to kids who think and act like they are so clever and so experienced. Even teenagers. They think they know everything and it pisses me off.

    Adult has achieved nothing and is living with regret.
