A call for justice

As a former minor, i firsthand experienced the discrimination against them, how i wasn't allowed to see, play, or participate in certain activities even if i wanted to, and that's ridiculously unfair and unjust. Age is a social construct and doesn't describe one's true character. In Judaism, adulthood starts at 12, as opposed to modern secular society where it's 18. I dream of a future where people aren't judged by their age but by the merit of their character

I relate to that very much as well. I think creating an artificial age barrier that differentiates children and adults is dumb and that it only serves to re-enforce ageism and create unnecessary tension and discomfort. Why must we kill our inner child once we age and become adults? Why are we always expected to be better and never have days where you don't feel like an adult or that you wish you could relate to someone else.
