Don't expect us to think like adults or treat us like children.

Cassandriva: Raising Low Expectations

Teenagers are not adults and we are not children. Don't expect us to think like adults or treat us like children.

Hu? While the author has a pretty good point in the rest of her article these sentences are eye brow raisers.

  1. Could you explain that sentence a little further? Your remark, I mean.

  2. The "eye brow raisers" part? It means that you have to think twice about it; a double take.

    Does that make sense?

  3. Yes, but I meant why you did not agree.

  4. It's a silly statement, it would ask me to treat people as adults despite having no expectations of them being adults. This would only foster immaturity and selfishness.
