Considering Adultism

In the premiere episode of No More Silence, university students and adult members of the writing community will be sharing raw writing pieces they have written as part of a community empathy write that started in Nov 2024. The prompts for this writing project are songs picked by high school students as having a positive message and research information on adultism. In the month of November writers were asked to write about the following phrases often said by adults to children: “You’re so Smart for 11;” “It’s Just a stage. You’ll grow out of it;” “What do you know? You haven’t experienced anything;” and “You think this is hard? Wait until you’re an adult.”
