Has anyone noticed that kids and teens are switching places in society?

[G@yWad69]

Little girls and preteens are wearing makeup, doing fashion hauls, going to parties, doing GRWMs, doing tiktok dances, and showing off on vacation in skimpy bathing suits(aye carmaba)

Teenage girls are playing with toys, calling themsleves “children”, staying at home all day to play video games, and bitching and whining and complaing constantly to whoever will listen. Teens are having less sex as a whole and are less likely to drive and work jobs like previous generations.

And its not because modern day teens “grew up too fast”, because influencer kids has only been a thing extremely recently, like 2020 recently, modern day teens, except for maybe 13 and 14 year olds, spent most of their childhoods without “influencer kids”.

Now me personally, I have zero problem with “fast” and “grown” influencer kids as long as the kid signed up for it and is having fun. Some girls like playing with dollies, some girls like playing with mommies makeup, as long as both girls are enjoying themsleves both should be allowed, even if one is more sterotypically childish and one is more sterotypically “grown”, kids should be allowed to do what they want based on their own intrests, not based on whatever an adults sterotype of “childhood” or “fun” is supposed to be.

Now if a kid is being forced by their parent to be an influencer, not allowed to play with friends outside and can only do GRWM and fashion hauls, and has all their money stolen by their parents. Thats awful and shouldnt happen

But if a kid has fun playing with makeup, likes filming videos and having an audience to talk to, loves the attention, gets to keep all the money they earn (some to spend, some to save for college or other life events is the best way to do it for kids under 13 kids over 13 should have full access to their bank account and control over their finances), and likes showing off their cute outfits, why should I be against that. Because its “grown”? Because good children play nicely and quietly with dolls instead of having fun getting turnt at parties? Lame, let the kids be free to have fun how they want

Children and preteens are also dressing more “mature”, more baggy jeans and crop tops, less frilly dressess with cartoon animals. They look good asf of course, but they look good in anything they were and should be in whatever makes them happy, wether its a clifford the big red dog printed frilly overall dress or baggy jeans with a cute crop top and a bucket hat. Kids look the sexiest in whatever they feel confident wearing.

Teens on the other hand…eugh

Nowadays children and preteens are the young and turnt ones being girly and having fun and exploring the world and embracing their sexulality and the teens are whiny complainers who cant do anything without mommy and daddy's and big goverments handholding

im not sure why are you concentrating only on girls here, sure, unfortunately, still everything is very gendered and whatnot, but there are boys who engage in such things as well, though they're not that public because everyone usually shames them for being gender-nonconforming.
and I'm not sure about your switching places idea. it may be bias to the internet. first of all, if talking about teens and young adults, that age group on internet is now largely neurodivergent, which can result into more immature behaviors or oversimplification of certain topics. there's also a thing that puberty brain, neurotypical especially, takes everything very extremely due to being overglown with hormones and realization of what's happening around said person. just as some teens protest against nsfw blockade, some will agree because their brains took it very strongly, simplistically and maximalistically. a neurotypical teen is not very good at thinking about long-term consequences, though, any person without experience of life can't do that. which means they curate their ideas based on what they feel and think right now that instant, instead of also trying to look forward.
kids pre-puberty are still in the stage of repeating and copying. they want love and attention, and yes they want to explore, so they repeat what they see - if in the past it would've been copying older people, now its that AND the internet. if a child watches tiktok all day and sees that cute outfits get likes, they will probably try to do the same if for example they weren't given enough love. ipad parenting is still a thing and gets worse.
what I'm trying to say is that you're simplifying the issue a lot. + adulthood is not about makeup and dating, it's about decisions and responsibilities, independency. kids surely are copying some parts of adulthood, but they aren't turning into 9yo adults overall. as well as teens may take the idea of "im a minor and you're a major" too maximalistically, yes, but there are also those who aren't doing this. remember when we were taught that we should never tell anyone on the internet our real age and name? well I can assure you lots of those who put 20+ in their bio can very well still be under 18. and i won't blame them for that. the amount of ageism pre-18 ppl get is unbearable, and it's getting worse.
