Right? Why did nobody tell me that being adult just meant everybody around you essentially larps as an adult?
Also as a child you assume that adults automatically have their shit together and then at some point you realise that almost no one has.
yeah. i know it's hard to "prepare someone for the real world", but letting a kid or teenager know that none of the adults know what they're doing and aren't acting according to any set of rigid rules might break through that shell.
"People will be more mature in high school/university/the real world" is some misleading bunk.
