how about not having any rights or freedoms?
being picked on/teased for no reason and not knowing what you did to deserve other kids’ hatred? [at least as an adult, you can kind of figure out why people might not like you–but do most kids who are picked on KNOW why they are receiving such behaviour?]
not knowing that there is a whole world out there to enjoy, not having any friends, and the ones u do have weren’t really great and were just using u/tolerating u?
give me adulthood any day.
