Are children treated like equals in today's society, or are their needs thrown aside and ignored in place of those of bigger people?
I'm about to turn 20 and I've personally found it quite astonishing how differently people treat you as you transition from a child to an adolescent to a young adult. You can still be exactly the same person with the same personality inside, but people will judge exclusively from your age and treat you very differently, and in general the treatment seems to be worse the younger you are.
Society has gone and continues to go through many equality movements (equality for ethnic minorities, equality for sexual and gender minorities, equality for the disabled, rights for animals, etc) and to a significant extent the treatment of children has also improved over the past couple of centuries in the Western World. But is there a long way to go until children are considered and treated as full human beings?
Most of TSR's user base is quite young, so I am interested in hearing your experiences.
