when people act like you cant be friends with people younger than you it makes me CRAZY
and yes this includes minors idc
like... i can be friends with a 40yo but i can also be friends with a 14yo
and honestly??? i think its actively IMPORTANT to talk to people of different age groups, it like, it'll expand your horizons and make you know
like
more about the world in general
and honestly? i think people being against it comes down to moral panic and ageism
like yes i am 20, but yes i respect this 12 year old as a person and ENJOY hearing about their interests
like sure, i can acknowledge theres differences in stuff like life experiences and maturity and whatever but "kids" are still fucking people
also like... ive hung out with 14yos, like, not alone, but ive still spent time with them
and sometimes i worry im being a creep myself but honestly? thats fucking stupid
spending time with someone isnt a damn crime idk
