I wonder why WHO has classified 10-14 years of age as adolescent?Maybe they should revisit this classification.
Maybe Im missing smth due to english not being my main language, but isnt adolescent basically a children thats in the process of becoming an adult? I dont see the contradiction here.

When I was a teen I viewed myself as pretty much an adult and thought that Im as smart as most of them. Now that I'm 31 and have teens shadowing me at my job and raising my own children, its pretty clear to me that most underage teens are still children and need to be protected.

Although biologically a child is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty, adolescence is accepted by some cultures as a part of social childhood, because most adolescents are considered minors under the law. The onset of adolescence brings about various physical, psychological and behavioral changes.

We're also forgetting that this child/adolescent is suffering from autism, so there are limitations to his mental and physical faculties/capabilities.

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication

I can understand you are getting emotional as you have children but i am just speaking from who definiton of adolescent
"Adolescence is the phase of life between childhood and adulthood, from ages 10 to 19"

Ah, the probably deserved it gang. Tuz, never change :touched:
Rodildo fans are insufferable. If Rodildo took a shit in a public square, they'd probably claim the marble and concrete deserved it, or that he sanctified and consecrated the space with his "holy shit."

Hopefully, Ghana and Uruguay can make his World Cup stay short and painful.

What the fuck is wrong with you? You are acting like he killed the "child"
Football player, that is idolized by millions of kids around the world, hits a kid because was making a video of him while he was sulking after another disappointing game. It speaks volumes of a man he is. Absolutely shocking, disgusting stuff. The kid is autistic, not that he knew back then, but nonetheless he gives me the vibe of control freak, a psycho. No amount of instagram posts, pics of him and his family while he puts a fake happy face on, can patch this.
