Throughout multiple threads dealing with the discussion about the suspensions and such for our players, a common vein I see tapped into is that these "kids" are still learning or these "kids" will learn from this.

IMO, these "kids" are 18+ and are eligible to vote as well as fight and die in a war.  To me, it seems insulting to refer to a young adult as a "kid" and is nothing more than a way to try and minimize anything they do.

This isn't a me piling on the players, coming down on them, or anything of that sort.  I simply want to see when a young adult stops being referred to as a "kid"
