RE: Some of the things I'd tell the very young me
I would have told myself:
Argue with adults! Most of them are total morons who will use their age to belittle you, don't stand for that crap - not for a second!
I was super logical as a child, but I didn't realize that my voice mattered until much much later in life.
Thank you for the post and asking a deep question.
That's really a good point! Working as a teacher at the moment, I feel a bit weird when the pupils asks me if they can go to the restroom ... It's a kind of "power" I don't like. Maybe grown ups have too much power, and that children needs to argument a lot more - and of course be able to win arguments too. :)
At least you are aware of it! How people treat children is a reflection of how they were treated, and how they treat themselves.
I am not sure if you are vegetarian or not, but I believe this is one of the most touching moments I think that has ever been caught on film.
Wow, that’s pretty amazing! It truly shows how important it is to give children the freedom of speech and opinions. Thanks for pointing this out! :)
