Do you see yourself as superior to children?

This isn't Peter Pan. Real children are full of nasty flaws and lack enough personality to hide those flaws.

I agree with this. Children have flaws. But so does adults. But perhaps those flaws are more evident in adults, at least for me

This this this...

I have a cousin I had to babysit this summer. She's about 8, and I swear she's one of the RUDEST, spoiled, awful, mean, rotten little b!tches I've ever had the misfortune of meeting. Like she's one of those kids that you kinda HOPE gets their ass kicked someday. Like I really had to stop myself from laughing when she was bullying one of my other cousins who made a smart comeback that made her cry.

I guess rotten adults were once rotten kids, right?

They create their own worlds that I am willing to sit with them and be a part of. Their creativity is unmatched.

People get bored of them or reject them, and I can't stand that. They know I will do anything for them because I respect them so much.

I have to agree, though I think that adults can sometimes retain those sorts of personalities if people may have been bored with them or rejected them during childhood. I for one have always been in my own little world for most of my life, feeling misunderstood and ignored too often. If anything though, I think it has given me a uniquely open and accepting personality as an adult--perhaps less "tainted", so to speak--than a lot of people I've come to know. I can sit there and genuinely listen to people, and I've been told I have a very calming and soothing presence, even if I don't say anything but just because I listen and I'm very patient.

As a child, I came to expect the same of others and still cherish if other people give me the time and attentiveness to listen. Unfortunately, it seems to be a rare quality in most adults nowadays, and that always frustrated me as a child, so I understand where you're coming from.

It's very eye-opening at times just to listen to kids and teens talk about their feelings and views on the world that are not yet biased and staunchly opinionated, and I always pray many of them retain that sense of individuality, but sadly, teens are cruel and that's when most people end up "growing up", or as I would more accurately term it, "de-evolving" in most cases.

Those who continue to march to their own drum deserve all the time and attention due to them, because honestly in that manner, I do see most kids as superior to adults. It's the transition to adulthood I always worry about. People do change, but its not always for the best.

Ha! Pretty much thats why I hate most kids.
I think that there is more rotten kids then rotten adults, as those bastard kids can learn not to be rotten adults.

Children aren't all innocence and gooey eyes. What some of you describe as innocence is rather just plain ole stupidity.

Also, look at how they lie and cannot discern truth! They are almost psychopaths.
