Our society is always looking to punish children or blame them for something.

I know fascist societies always scapegoat those with the least power to fight back, but it's always the most disturbing to me when its children and teens who don't even have a fully developed brain.

No, kids don't owe us anything. Yes, we owe them everything. No, kids are not meant to be obedient little soldiers. No, treating them like prisoners is not going to solve youth crime.

I fucking hate it. Poor kids.

I genuinely believe raising children in the suburbs is cruel and unusual punishment. Kids need to be in the city, in dense housing where other kids are around, with public transit that allows them freedom.

I grew up in pretty rural suburbs and it was so isolating. It felt like I was totally trapped until I turned 16 and got a drivers license.

Living in an apartment now i see way more kids running around playing together than i ever saw outside of school when i was a kid. I would’ve killed to live in a place like this and this apartment complex isnt even nice
