Agreed that children don’t have a lot of good reasons to be happy, but not sure that’s very relevant here. My observations of children suggest that when they’re raised well they have a really high happiness set point, or are just plain better at being happy than adults for developmental reasons unrelated to their circumstances. I don’t really trust my own memories of childhood, but the children I hang around always look like they’re having more fun than adults nearby, unless they’re specifically being prevented from doing so.
You are so far below having civil rights, that people use you as an excuse to put restrictions on adults.
