dislike when ppl say to children things like “wait until you live in the real world” or “welcome to the real world” when something makes them unhappy or bad things happen to them. children are people. they live in the same world you do, and their experiences and reactions to their experiences are just as real as your own. comfort them instead of dismissing them
anyway children are real people and should be treated as such
i’m 23 and people still do this to me. and i hate it just as much as i did back then.
