When I was a kid all the adults in my life would say "You'd better shape up, people are gonna be a lot harder on you when you're grown up" but now other adults are much less likely to scream at me or threaten to smack me
Plus people who are gung-ho about screaming at or hitting children aren't nearly as eager to do so against an adult who can tell them to fuck off or hit back just as hard. Funny how that works :bean-think:
