One day of interacting with the teenagers on the Filcord made me dislike kids too, but I honestly (probably a real hot take incoming) think people are weird about age. It doesn't seem like there's any age where people magically stop being retarded (well beyond the actual hormonal teenager years), instead it's just that everyone has this weird superiority complex about how people younger than them are dumber or lesser in some way. 60 year olds will speak about 40 year olds with the same emotions 40 year olds speak about 30 year olds and those about 20 year olds. Obviously people with more experiences, especially if it's ones that you are about to go through, like saying moving out or marrying, have more personal stories to share, but at no point did I ever feel like there is any cut off age other than like 16 maybe, for having reasonable, intelligent thoughts or additions to conversations, yet everyone has this [my age -10] people need to never speak on [topic] and it just reads to me as "I knew jack shit about this when I was young so how could someone younger than me have solid opinions"
