no fancy blog layout, and no, im not back from my hiatus. just felt like putting my two cents here again because it seems like we're back to shaming children for using this site and for being children. like i didnt even take a break for a week and i come back to see my friends arguing over maturity and children existing on this platform.
and even during my hiatus ive noticed a shit ton of like. hatred towards kids just being kids. on all platforms.
*this blog is not aimed at anyone specifically, but rather a broader group of ppl who for some reason have a whole lotta room in their lungs to scream some very empty words at people.
also just for older ppl in general because how dare children exist!
so sit your stupid ass down and listen. (if you want to. i cant make anybody read this so do whatever the fuck you want.)
**im not saying that children shouldn’t be safe on the internet. Internet safety is a whole other thing.
But when it gets to a point where even if they ARE being safe yet they’re still being ridiculed, that’s a whole other issue.
*edit: sorry if this makes no sense but i am kinda just done with stuff rn. feel free to argue or call me an idiot or whatever :P
irl: child at local playground, trampoline park, or other public space. minding their business. or playing with friends. playing pretend, pretending to be princesses, ponies, cats, tv show characters, WHATEVER. just being kids.
boom, in a youtube cringe comp or on a tiktok and ppl berating them in the comments calling them "cringe" and "autistic". Like half of the stuff I see on cringe comps (or at least the ones on my fyp) are like ppl taking videos of children from afar. They never consented to being on that video and now, people are going to ridicule them behind their back and later in life, they may stumble upon it.
online: so youre angry that kids are playing pretend and pretending to be a kid in the 2000s. so youre pissed off at a child who is on a computer pretending to be a fictional character.
you go on a 40 page rant calling them cringe and autistic.
since when is it so inherently evil and horrible and unspeakable to HAVE FUN AS A CHILD?
im sorry that you want everybody to be a miniature 40-year old philosopher the moment they come out of the womb. maybe in some universe, your wish will be granted and now you can live in solace that somewhere out there, that version of spacehey exists.
when i was a 10 year old, i will admit it. I liked pokemon a lot (and i still do.) pretended to be ash ketchum's rival and tried to collect every pokemon card i could and made up a super overpowered team and everything.
when i was 11, i liked harry potter. pretended to be a witch and kill voldemort (because i didnt finish the series and i didnt know harry killed him first).
when i was 12, warrior cats. i pretended to be a bloodclan cat and jump around in the park and fight off thunderclan cats.
when i was 13, i liked beyblade. I pretended to be a world-class blader and battled everyone at my school and pretended that the one of the characters from the show had a crush on my beyblade OC. (she was an all-powerful purple haired cat girl who could turn into the agip/eni 6-legged dog logo from the gas station pump. i am not making this up.)
tldr, i get how it feels to be a kid. coming from someone who turns 18 in less than 6 months.
its normal to play pretend as a kid. its normal to want to experience things you cant in real life. and this brings me back to the point of this "2000s cringe craze"
this is literally the same thing but online. i didnt have access to like. ACTUAL social media until I was a highschooler. children are getting online much earlier. i dont agree with it, but its a thing thats been existing for a while :P I don’t know why people are just starting to realise that social media being in the hands of younger ppl is an issue.
so get over it.
as long as they are not harming themselves, ppl around them, or the areas around them, let the kids be kids.
and if you cant, well then im sorry that you never experienced fun as a child and i hope you can come to terms with it someday.
mind you, half of you all saying this were literally not even alive for the 2000s either and youre pulling up with ur "i am a real emo" ahh.
like..
boo hoo, i-im sosososo sorry that im not your definition of 2000s........ im sorry god almighty emo king who made their spacehey account 2 minutes ago....im so sorry that im expressing myself the way i do... might as well just leave because i dont deserve to exist in the same space as you... :((((
NO! i do what i want cuz this is MY space, and its MY rules! (haha get it myspace)
just as YOUR space has YOUR rules! so dont intrude on my page and i wont intrude on yours. if it bothers you so much that I exist, just block me! and block EVERYBODY else too! ^.^
instead of churning out useless blogs, maybe get to work on blocking half the userbase, and once you dont see all the "stupid poser ppl" profiles, you will be much happier. trust me :)
also, u people keep saying "i want children to grow up quicker and stop being cringe and stop pretending to blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah"
and then you pull up with the
"erm.. children these days are sooooooo weird...like stop putting on makeup...and stop wanting a boyfriend.... and stop going to sephora......"
well, MAAAAYBE, maybe just maybe, ITS BECAUSE YOU KEEP FUCKING DISCOURAGING THEM FROM BEING KIDS!!!
many children are sensitive. sometimes, if you tell them harshly to stop doing something, they will stop, and they will try to live up to your expectations.
online, if a child is told multiple times that theyre being cringe, that nobody loves them, for them to gtfo and grow up, they will turn to OTHER online sources for that!!!
and its just a stupid cycle imo.
to be cringe is to be free. my parents would always tell me that i was being annoying or that my interests were stupid and people would judge me for them. as long as i didnt take those words to heart, i was genuinely happy.
but once i started listening, i couldnt go back to being as bubbly i used to be.
to be cringe is to be free is true, but only when you are (or choose to be) oblivious to the outside world.
at one point, we all grow up to some extent. ppl mature over time. there is no need to rush someone to become "more mature" over them simply just like. pretending to be something harmless.
anyways, i am going to go offline again in order to regain some of my sanity (thats literally why i took a break from here)
but this time, im gonna take a break from the internet as a whole. get off this stupid shit that tells me to act one way or another no matter where i go.
see you losers later. imma go have some fun visiting my cousins (they're both 10) and pretend to be rainbow dash from my little pony and i dont care what you have to say about it :P
might as well cherish the couple months of being a kid I have left.

Ok just gonna put this here because ppl are coming to me off site and asking me to reply to comments, but there are too many to reply to.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, GET OFF OF SPACEHEY BRUH!!! This blog is talking GENERALS, not specifically spacehey! This was a response to an blog to an account that has now been banned that was saying that ALL children are stupid and should grow up (and the opposite; that children are becoming *too* grown up… like mf pick a side.)
If u see ppl under 13 commenting on this, please report them. Like not only is this breaking the ToS, but they are putting themselves out to danger voluntarily, knowing very well that they’re not allowed here due to age lol.
Age restrictions exist for a reason, and I am in complete support of them. You as a 10 year old should NOT be on this site!!! It is literally in the rules. Again. I am all for self expression, but U HAVE TO BE SAFE!! And that means practising internet safety yourself and following rules. So if you are reading this blog on here and are under 13, please like. Delete ur account before someone reports it.
And for the record, I don’t believe children should be as prominent on social media as they are now. But this blog isn’t in response to that, it is in response to another blog that again, has been taken down now. I’m just saying that children continue to exist and the stuff that your generation experienced as kids will resurface in other generations except twisted out in different ways. You shouldn’t record a child without their knowledge and post them online just because you think they are cringe. I just thought this was common sense, but apparently not.

I agree with everything that has been said on this blog.
And it's true I got judged the same in most cases and it sucked I tried to be more mature and often failed ToT
Let kids be kids

People do need to agree that a kid is going to be a kid no matter what. Most adults don't get it that times are different. Kids aren't just sitting playing with toys, going outside, or watching cartoons anymore (like my 2000s days.) We all now have smartphones, laptops, and heck toddlers have tablets now. I have come to accept this. We adults need to understand that kids will find a way to lie about their age online just to get on social sites like this. However I am still always worried about safety too. Where we find younglings online we also find predators and bullies pushing kids to the absolute worst.

No cause honestly, like kids deserve a space they can be on the Internet since we've made almost everything IRL child and preteen inaccessible. Like as a teenager I genuinely find it crazy when people attack kids for being on social media or God forbid ROBLOX?? Like just let the kids hang out. And don't be a creep. Like it's not so hard to hang out with kids online without it being weird? Chatting or playing Roblox games with them just so they're not lonely isn't hard at all, and we need to stop trying to make things inaccessible for them.

worst part is probably that, if sane normal people not looking to prey on minors shun them by criticising everything they do, they’re just gonna find encouragement from worse people, because that’ll feel like acceptance and understanding. you can’t kick a puppy and expect it to learn how not to shit indoors (bad metaphor but it was at the top of my head), you’ve got to, I don’t know, give them room to grow?? mocking behaviour that’ll potentially put said minors in danger doesn’t help anything and is painfully immature

Never heard of this. People shouldn't be bullying kids like this. So stupid that adults are bullying children for acting like children. Again never heard of anyone doing this but I agree that it's not right.

YES THIS!!
I hate when people treat being cringe, especially cringey children, like the worst thing imaginable. Everyone adopting this “hater mindset” made it genuinely unbearable to talk to people online and it’s even bleeding into how people interact with eachother irl. Even worse when it’s grown ass people bullying little kids. Just sad.
It be the same ones talking about how kids aren’t kids anymore yet won’t allow them to be KIDS. Kids do dumb shit, they like dumb things, they have cringy interests or make cringy art but that’s just a part of growing up. I used to be that kid and that was the happiest I have ever been.
Once you learn to stop caring about what other think, life gets better. I used to care so much about what others thought of me but now as an adult I learned people are assholes no matter what and I just gotta live my life the way I want and like what I want.

I will keep saying this over and over again, when you are on the internet you have the option to block and not interact with things you don’t like. If it shows up on your feed I guarantee you there’s a not interested button somewhere. Yall gotta stop purposely interacting with things that piss you off cuz you’re just gonna make yourself even more miserable. With how algorithms work it will just feed you more of the content you don’t like. Why make your online experience worse? It’s not healthy. Curate the things that you do like. I promise you’ll be a happier person because of it.

LITERALLY!! I think it's so lame that young adults are treating queer/neurodivergent kids trying to find community as an attack to their personhood when they can literally just block them and move on. Like seriously what are we doing talking shit about children online.. don't you guys have jobs too ? They're literally just bullying kids out of growing up as a bonding practice.. It's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.
This!

I agree. It hurts when you are a kid and even more as you become an adult. Because you become too protective of the kids in your life such as siblings or cousins. And it’s always adults, especially young adults or people who only recently turned 18, regardless of their politics, who are so mean to them. Both the right and the “left” are mean to them. Did they forget they were once children? They’re so mean that it’s just heartbreaking. They didn’t choose to be a kid. They don’t know any better.

I'll say this: the world is becoming more hateful and pathetic. You can't do ANYTHING without being ridiculed. Especially kids - people bully them cause they are "immature" but when they start acting like adults, they get bullied anyways.
The world, especially on the internet tbvh, the people on the internet are becoming PATHETIC. I have seen many cringe comps and many them are just people having fun and its pmo tbh.
I say: FUCK IT, DO WHAT YOU WANT. One day they are flooding u with hate and next day, you still fucking live.
Its VERY IMPORTANT FOR KIDS TO PRACTICE INTERNET SAFETY AND FOR THE PARENTS TO TEACH THEM ABOUT IT !!!
but, let kids be kids. I was once a kid, i used to be VERY CRINGE, i still am sometimes.

Not to mention that when I tutored some of the people in that age demographic they were the polar opposite of the “kids these days are too obsessed with Sephora”saying I keep hearing online
ethan (taylor's version)
it makes me so sad how you can do literally anything and have somebody secretly record you, post it to tiktok, instagram, twitter, wherever, and have people clown on you? and for what? wearing corded earbuds? having stickers on my laptop? eating a banana? wearing colours? people want to be all the same now, cover themselves up and try to be as "nonchalant" as ever...but it's so boring! we have a limited time here, and these people spend it looking & acting exactly like everybody else?? no thx hon <3

Also, real telling how much they talk about kids being autistic or making being gay their whole personality (one of the current top posts comes to mind...)

Or they turned 18 and think they’re better than everyone. Because from what I’ve seen it’s always the 18-24 year olds being so mean to them.
by Daffodil; ; Report
Well, so far, I've only seen posts like this written by teenagers. Generally, an adult won't care what young people are doing (unless they're their children). We don't have time for that, we have to pay bills lol.
by UrSven; ; Report
Ooh. Yes, yes. I do agree. However, the one who made a huge rant about children that ended up on the first page, he is 18. So either he just turned 18, or he’s about to turn 19. Either way, it’s hypocritical and (for lack of a better word) plain stupid. He acts like a middle schooler who just turned 13 and thinks he’s better than the 12 year olds.
by Daffodil; ; Report
Do you consider 18+ as an adult? Because it is not, the brain completes its formation at 25, so it can act just like a 16 year old. We are talking about a delicate phase where hormones control the body.If even adults make mistakes because they haven't worked on their emotional intelligence, imagine young people.Let them be weird or jerks, luckily they grew up and matured.
by UrSven; ; Report
Oh, I see now!
So yes, it’s (sorry) really stupid that someone turns 18 or is 18-early 20’s and thinks they’re better than children. Since the brain stops developing at 25 or sometimes even 30, that even if they’re mentally mature, a part of them is still technically a child, so they’re the same as those kids they claim to hate, except they use bigger words and are more cruel.
