am i going crazy or are kids aging up way too fast nowadays? i was at a clothing store last month and i remember seeing a little kid sitting on the floor, facetiming his friend and asking him what his tiktok handle was. there was no way he was any older than 9

not only that, but i've been seeing a lot of girls all dressed up and looking like college aged adults, but end up only being in elementary school. i'm not really sure what's going on lately but this is all very weird
is our current society forcing children to feel like they have to grow up and mature faster? seeing things like this is really appalling
Well, honestly, I've seen this happening too, I believe that it's both the force of aging up, and probably some need to look "cool" because you seem older!! But I could be wrong...

Funny I am seeing this now... just an hour or so ago at the park I heard a kid swearing while doing something on an iPhone at the park nd thinking wtf? Couldn't have been older than like 10 or11.
@misswannabe true that the need to appear cool might be a factor as well, I didn't think about that
@bmh thank you for sharing this article, very interesting to know that puberty seems to be occurring much earlier
@thatwhitehand it's definitely uncanny to see young kids acting like this
