Top 10 Ways Kids Have It Worse Than Adults
This tears kids like me up, bad. I just want to control some parts of my life but unfortunately I cannot. We are forced until we leave the house to do what they say, which is reasonable. But somewhat often, their parents control every aspect of their life, sometimes down to stuff like clothes and music. Adults don't have to do that. Of course no one is really free, but with kids it's much worse.
Whatever, you will have a more tough life when you grow up.
You will miss simple times of just playing around and the only toughest thing was school.
I mean, adults don't have that much freedom either. Where's your freedom when you have to file your taxes, pay off your bills, and get a job?
I guess this one is somewhat reasonable, but adults have it harder in almost every way.
I am convinced that my parents have lost trust in me whenever we attend a family party or eat out with them after my cousins started harassing me and I told them to stop several times in a row. They now automatically assume that I will do bad stuff during parties when I am actually well-behaved :(
Wether or not they deserve trust is up for debate but even some of the smartest, most good kids don't get any due respect or trust sometimes.
Usually they underestimate how smart you actually are and their just like oh you're just a kid you could never be that responsible!
Not true unless you're teen people probably won't trust you
Especially teenagers who have a lot of the feels going on that can really mess with you. And kids aren't often used to stressful situations so they take them a lot worse.
This. This a thousand times.
I have depression
What I learned from this item
Adults have to stress about paying bills and going to work full-time to not be paid much.
Most kids only ever have to go to school and do a few chores at home which take 10 minutes.
Yet kids are less emotionally stable?
It's probably because the parents want to make sure that they are doing bad stuff like watching porn, or another adult show like South Park or Family Guy or Robot Chicken.
Teens have a lot of privacy because they just stay in their bedrooms the whole day.
I'm an adult with overprotective parents so I still get no privacy
You need that sometimes but instead your parents while you're watching MLP... stuff...
And It gets annoying and repetitive.
As a kid people want you to fit in and be with the "cool kids," as an adult, usually a lot less people give a crab it seems. Peer pressure is a big stress on kids that can lead to some traumatic stuff in one way or another.
Personally, I think this is the only legitimate item on the list. There are reasons for it, obviously---children have less life experience and generally are less knowledgeable about the world than adults. However, a perspective untainted by years of running in the same groove can be valuable, and more people should pay attention when kids speak.
When I was in online school, no one understood me, because no one my age was there. Everyone in the school were just a bunch of names on a list
Another thing like the freedom one
Some of these items are why.
It gets annoying how some kids need supervision to go in their own fenced off yard in the middle of the day. So many annoying situations can come out of this. Ughhh!
Kids are unpredictable, and terrible things do have a chance to come out of even the safest of situations.
@TheAwesomeDude54-she won’t let me do that, either! >:(
My mom is so overprotective of me that I'm STILL NOT ALLOWED to go to a store that's across the street from my house unsupervised, AND I'M 26 YEARS OLD! >:(
You are getting something in return, it's just not material. You are being prepared for life. Your learning discipline, responsibility, and work ethics. These three things will go a long way in your adult life. As for not even being thanked, yeah it kinda sucks but get use to it. As adults, your boss will probably rarely give thanks to you for the work/job that you do. Anyways how often do you kids thank your parents for the things they do for you? My guess is probably not as much as you should.
I should get paid to go to school
In some cases they are asked to do chores but get nothing from it, the guardians don't even thank them ;w;
I think it is fine to not get paid to go to school but they do need to reward you at least every once in a while
Kids have to deal with height requirements at rides, can't reach some stuff at home, and other pesky things caused by height.
In my family most of the kids are actually TALLER than the adults!
And I meant this one about more for actually like 10-and-under kids.
You can get shorter if your older than 30
I'm almost 11 and everyone I know yes even all adults say I'm very mature for my age so why can't I watch simpsons there's almost no good things on TV anymore when simpsons air and even when it does not
Would you want your kid watching Family guy and talking about sex all the time? How about Robot Chicken? Archer? South Park? Rick and Morty?
There's that too. Sometimes I like stuff like that.
Who ever put this down has a nasty mind.
I find it a pile of trash that parents have to approve your relationship like, its love just because two drunk monkeys say "No" to your relationship doesn't mean that the love between a male and female dissolve. I also find it dumb that parents try arranged marriages.

I added this here.
Not trying to be rude, but I think it's because the movies and games are aimed for adults. Also, they CAN buy it, but they need adult supervision. And most R-rated movies suck anyway.
No Call of Duty = no life for some people, so this can be a problem, or at least a pesky thing a lot of times.
Having experienced childhood and adulthood, I can assure you this isn't true. Sorry kids but your going to be dealing with ignorant people, pretty much on a daily basis, for your entire lives. Get use to it.
It's a bit more common for some less intelligent, or more annoying people to be around when you're a kid. You know what I mean probably.
Nope. Sorry but you’re going to have ignorant people in your lives forever.
