Somehow I ended up born on this weird planet 45 years ago. I fight for youth rights in my own ways since when I was a teenager.
I notice the successes and the failures in youth rights over time. I feel like a witness as well as a fighter.
Some of the issues *do* change over time but mostly in subtle ways. Yet many haven’t change at all because some of the really useful changes involve systems that aren’t likely to change because they go beyond political party but into the very ways we view ourselves and our relationships with each other. Family structures, independents, communities, neighbors, teachers, citizens – how we view ourselves and those around us seems to add up in a strange way to form societal attitudes — and there’s not just one societal attitude but many overlapping intersecting, converging, diverging, battling…
Sometimes I step in sometimes I step back. All depends.

[when i say ‘not likely to change” I’m not meaning it in a fatalist way at all. I mean they are some thing that, when unchallenged, will probably not just automatically change. Like for example: You can pretty much count on a new piece of technology to come out that’s got more “wow” than last year. But can you guarantee that there will be a measurable amount of greater freedoms available for people in a society in that same year’s time?
