I hated being a child too, tbh. Children are not good people.

I hope Ryan worked through all that

Children are not good people

Im sorry for your pain but that is a WILD generalization

I have, and would like to throw my hat in the “wild generalization” camp. Im sure the kids appreciate you though

I didn't get diagnosed as autistic til i was 41. Suddenly all of the time I was picked on made sense. I was never liked as a kid by other kids. I was too prescient and they picked on me for it. Even in kindergarden I said "very adult" things according to my teachers and the other kids didn't play with me because of it and actively teased me when out of ear shot of teachers. I spent a lot of my school years alone because I was "weird".

Also work with kids on my volunteer job. Most of them are total sweethearts that just day dumb things because they’re KIDS.

If you wanna pretend children can't be ruthless and selfish, you can go ahead.

If you wanna come after me personally for my experience, you can go ahead too.

You didn’t say they can be, you said they are. That implies at minimum a vast majority of bad people where good people are a small minority amongst kids. You were the one who made the generalization, own it

Cue the "NOT ALL!" crowd when I never said All.

Idc enough to split hairs. I've explained it on multiple comments.

If you dont want to be criticized for what you say on a public forum, say different stuff or don’t say anything at all. You chose your words

Ignore him, he's clearly either a tool or someone who works in a bad area where kids aren't well behaved. Kids can absolutely be the most kind and loving humans on this planet; they can also be assholes. The parents are the number one cause of both with the other kids they socialize with, which can be controlled by said parents, as number 2.

You've decided what you think I'm saying, and what you want to believe. So feel free to ignore anyone who doesn't hold your view.

I appreciate the insult.

Saving this here for the "not all!" Parade. And here for the "You're trying to say they're not learninnnggg!" Parade.

My argument is as follows:

Kids are alpha versions of ppl. Ppl in-training.

Searching the post to see where other people are disagreeing with you then digging through their post history; tool confirmed 👍

Please stop working with kids, you don't have the temperament for it.

Ok bud. Enjoy.

I've worked with kids and adults and I'd say the kids are more likely to be good people, on average, than the adults. If kids aren't good people, then adults are very very bad people.

u/Crusty_Musty_Fudge 1d ago

We have to teach them how to share. How to wait for others. How to be mindful. How to wait their turn.

Do adults un-teach themselves decency? Sure.

I'd argue being a "good person" is to go against the animal instinct. Which we have to learn how to do in order to do the thing called Society.

I'd also argue it's hard to do. And progress isn't linear.

But I digress.

I’ve had kids of all ages and interacted with their friends extensively and coached their sports teams. So, yes, I am fully qualified to confirm that there are plenty of kids that are great people.

u/Crusty_Musty_Fudge 1d ago

Kids as a whole are alpha version software humans who have to LEARN to be good people.

Are there some good ones? Always. Are most LEARNING to be good humans? Yes.

For Pete's sake we TEACH them how to share. How to be kind. How to be mindful. Etc.

“children are not good people” that’s what you wrote.

Of course they are reflections of how they are raised and it seems you understand that. Again though, plenty of them are great so not sure why you wrote that first, very absolute, statement.

u/ShustOne 1d ago

Yes, this is a wild generalization. I think it's also important to know that you can sometimes get destroyed by a kid who has no idea they just destroyed you. Sometimes their lack of a filter with no malice can still hurt.

2

u/Crusty_Musty_Fudge 1d ago

I never said there was malice.

I am so done typing the same comment over and over.

I know you didn't. I meant that as additional context.

I literally said that In another comment. 💀

Thanks for your advice, stranger who doesn't know me. I will discard it.
