Yeah? 'Cause, you know, I'm a young person who turned to a life of crime after I got told that I made my own bed and had to lie in it and all that. That as a kid, I didn't have a right to a voice in court, that I didn't have the right to accuse adults and social betters of crimes they committed. Youth isn't valued. Youth is brushed aside. It's old people, old powerful entrenched people, who get real voices. While people like me get clucked over, get told, Oh what a pity you've turned out this way, get sighed over pityingly even while we're ground down under the boot of the people who've got the real power in society. So excuse me if I think there are rather more important things than us getting romanticized a bit.
