Line 27:

** ''[[Fate Stay Night]]'': Gilgamesh to Shirou, who by then has the perfect counter-ability (Avalon or [[Field of Blades|Unlimited Blade Works]], [[Alternate Continuity|depending]])

* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': Lieutenant Ross and Sergeant Brosh lecture Ed and Al on how their youth means that they should give adults some more responsibility in the story. Of course, Ross is effectively shut down by Maes Hughes, who, [[Genre Savvy]] man that he is, knows who the main characters are.

** In the manga, though, Ed takes it quite well (despite [[Hot Blooded|his temper]]).

* ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'': Ryoma's rivals often comment derisively on him being just 12-to-13 years old and in his first year of junior high. And they end up losing to him soon.

* Notably averted in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', where the Time-Space Administration Bureau will recruit anyone sufficiently skilled and responsible (or plot-important), regardless of age. No one magical ever looks down on, underestimates, or refuses to fight Nanoha or her peers because of their ages. Even her [[Muggle]] parents are [[Reasonable Authority Figure|surprisingly understanding and permissive]].

Line 181:

** Parodied when Candace once asks the boys (renowned for making bizarre inventions) why they couldn't just create some way of fixing their rocket ship without necessitating a space walk. The boys simply stare at her for a moment before Ferb comments, "Candace, we ''are'' just kids."

* Throughout the ''[[Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' episode "Frankie My Dear", Bloo uses this as his excuse as to why he thinks he's better for Frankie than Mac is.

* This trope is a more or less constant worry for Ma-Ti of ''[[Captain Planet and The Planeteers]]''. True, except for Gi they're all "kids", but Ma-Ti has the added disadvantage of just being ''twelve'' (aside of, well, the [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]] deal).

** Which was [[Played for Laughs]] in [[That Guy With the Glasses|Linking Up with Linkara's]] [[The Stinger|Stinger]], {{spoiler|where [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[Marz Gurl]] pretended to have slept with (a presumably aged up) Ma-Ti.}}
