I agree, we shouldn't be painting false pictures like this. The hard truth is that being an adult is objectively better, no matter what experiences you had during childhood or teenhood.

The thing is, romanticizing lack of rights is what truly is the problem here, this isn't focused on the age - but the lack of control. Its usually this aspect which is included in these "childhood romanticism" posts. Age relation is just the consequence for this lack of rights.

Ultimately, autonomy should exist for all people - no matter the age. This is particularly important for teenagers which seem to be constantly ignored within society. Failing to understand this is what will lead to another "Australia style" blanket ban.
