{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}

Depending ofon the regionsregion, children and teenagers are often [[Blessed with Suck]] since they're under the rules of whoever is in change, usually their parents but anyone who has guardianship of them while proving the basic needs. However, what if it was [[Up to Eleven|cranked up]], say on a societal measure? What if laws against youth rebellion were put in place, [[Disproportionate Retribution|even for yelling at someone in charge]]?

For the purpose of this trope, a societal element is required since [[Abusive Parents]] are onenot thingalways butthe notdriving alwaysforce behind the casetrope. This will focus on mostly "institutional form", such as laws and/or school systemsystems that would get the attention of a [[Mama Bear]] and/or [[Papa Wolf]]. If it's set in a dystopian society with a [[Mama Bear|protective]] [[Papa Wolf|parent]] willing to do anything for their child, that counts too.

The term "underage" varies onin different countries, often referencing tothe "age of majority." Thus, it depends on whatwhether countriesa country has it set, withthat theage United States- for example at, ''21'' is considered an adult in the United States. On the other hand, medical science has placed adulthood at ''25'' years since that's when the pre-frontal cortex has been completed for the task of decision, its main function. Given that infoinformation, what would classifyqualify for this trope? For starterstarters, the age limit for this trope's purpose will be '''''20'''''; this is when the term "teen" no longer appears when it age is mention. While an age being mention is optional, the work has to apply the existence of this tropementioned.

'''''HereTypes areof othersAdultism''''':

* '''Type 1''': Societal Level –- There are laws against adolescents including the legal right to have a disorderly one be taken or worse. This can be by the request of parents or notothers.

** ''1A'': If the adolescent is subjected to any form of punishments including [[Corporal Punishment| corporal]] by the law, it would count - especially if it's done in public.

** ''1B'': The adolescent is sent by force (especially by those who lack empathy) to a competition with injuries and/or death is likely and done by forced, especially by those who just lack empathy. If the results of such a practice ends in a fatality, it counts too.

** Bonus, if a [[Mama Bear]] and/or [[Papa Wolf]] happens to discovereddiscover this, but any [[Friend to All Children| kid-friendly]] adult would count.

'''Note''': This is different from a [[Childless Dystopia]] because it's unclear ifwhether theythere are any children around, [[Hide Your Children|hidden]] or not. [[Teenage Wasteland]], on the other hand, type 4 is an exception because even if the young isare in charge, life isn't any easier.

Due to the nature of this trope, it's advised [[No Real Life Examples, Please| Real Life Examples aren't to be in included]]. While there is [[Truth in Television| truth]] behind this tropes, butthe ittrope can be abused itself should real -life examples arebe placedlisted.

However, if the work is based [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story| loosely based]] on a real -life case like a [[Ripped from the Headlines| news case]] or a memoir, then the “No Real Example”Life Examples” clause is excused for the adaption of that work ONLY. [[Roman à Clef]] would also be excuseexcused from the “No Real Example”Life Examples” rule because, while based on a true story, names of people and location are often altered for privacy reasons, regardless of the outcomes of the parties involved.
