• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    The privileged experience of being older? o_o I'm not sure I understand! People should listen to kids about their own issues, obviously - it's when kids start speaking about experiences they haven't really had that I tend to find easier to dismiss! So if Social Justicing has rules, this largely...

    pathos you make some good points! I don't really much feel like excusing behaviour - it can be understandable while still remaining bad. I should try to remember school, though: I don't much like the 'kids will be kids' argument I've often been presented with by adults. :/ Some kids were...

    But kids often are too young to understand certain things. Kids don't live by themselves, they haven't encountered many adults outside of family, lots of their mindset is going to be influenced one-way by the adults around them; they don't have to do ~adult things~,: these experiences are a...
