Cringe culture ruined being a kid.
I keep seeing the idea that teen members of Gen Z are the last generation to experience an actual childhood and honestly? I agree.
We as a society have made being a child so hostile, so miserable, that kids aren’t interested in being young anymore.
How children are constantly told to grow up, how the color has been sucked out of the world, how because of cringe culture children will be fucking torn apart by grown adults all over the internet, how children are experiencing crisis after crisis. Children are shamed for their interests and hobbies and style by grown ass adults and teens who are far too old to be doing this. How kids aren’t allowed to be anywhere without being made fun of by adults who are miserable.
Being a child is fucking hostile now, and I don’t blame this generation of kids for trying too hard to be mature/grown. Because people treat children like shit, so who would want to be one?
