Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

      Okay, let’s say it is. So we can now consider all teenagers as adults. Great.

      Nobody is going to say a 13 year old is mature enough to do most of the things we let 25 year olds do.

      So whatever word you want to put to it. ‘adult’ ‘mature’ ‘flimbobblewob’, the point still stands that a 13 year old is different to a 25 year old.

        13 year olds are also different from 19 year olds

        and 13 year olds are different from 7 year olds

        I have seen people literally argue that a romantic relationship MUST be abusive because one of the lovers is only 19 and therefore “still a teen” … the dogma that says teens are children is absolutely false and it is damaging the hell out of young people.

        This 4 minute vid explains it pretty well. https://youtu.be/12J1f0Zqaqw
