For me it’s much better as an adult just because I don’t have poorly informed adults scaremongering over the latest bullshit the news made up.

When I was a kid my mother would immediately jump on every single “the kids are bad” bandwagon there was. As a result I could really only play games at friends houses because were weren’t allowed to have video games of any sort. I even bought my own xbox and tv so I could have it in my room when I was 14. The moment she found out she threw it away while I was at school. Never mind the fact that I had spent 500 dollars of my own money.
