    I don’t think the average person on lemmy, with a diagnosed learning disability or other challenges (autism in my case), represent the average opinion of 15 year old children.

      Judging by the state of the world, I don’t think the average adult has any right to have a feeling of smug superiority to teenagers. I don’t think there’s really that much difference between average teenagers and average adults.

            Teenagers are 100% passionate, and they can be morally correct. That was never in question. I have an absolutely tremendous respect for what she has done and stands by. I’ve also personally seen and worked with kids who have had to “mature” early due to life circumstances or trauma. This doesn’t change my trust in children.
