Depending of the regions, children and teenagers are often [[Blessed Withwith 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 change]]?
 
The official term for this is called "Adultism" and [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|it sounds like it says]]: "Prejudice and accompanying methodical discrimination against juveniles". There are two sub-version of this:
 
* Ephebiphobia: Fear or loathing teenagers
Line 60:
== Literature ==
* Works by [[Roald Dahl]] tends to fits this.
* ''[[Battle Royale]]'' and ''[[The Hunger Games (Literaturenovel)|The Hunger Games trilogy]]'': Teenagers are selected to take in battles to the death. As a result, a Type 1B case on both works.
* ''[[Captain Underpants]]'': A Type 2 circumstances, forcing George and Harold to take revenge by hypnotizing their principal, Mr. Krupp, into the title character whenever someone snaps their fingers and the rest is history.
* ''[[The Chocolate War]]''
* ''[[Gone (Literature)|Gone Series]]'': Adolescents are left behind after an unknown phenomenon causes everyone over the age of 15 to disappear. A dome is put in place in the Californian town where it happened, but life isn't made easier for the survivors. This would fit a Type 3 situation due to the uncertainty the survivors face.
* ''[[Jane Eyre (Literature)| Jane Eyre]]'': Lowood School the title character is sent to but it eventually found during a typhoid outbreak, therefore making this both a Type 2 scenario and [[Older Than Radio]].
* ''[[Lord of the Flies]]'': A group of boys find themselves on an island without adults, the oldest, Ralph, is twelve years old. The group attempts to set up a form of government until help can arrive.
* ''[[Never Let Me Go]]'': Double Subverted, while the staff is [[Friend to All Children| kid-friendly]], they aren’t able to convince the public the children, {{spoiler| who are clones}} that’s they’re just as human as they are, even if they can protest for [[Save Our Students| to spare them]].
Line 74:
== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[The Good Wife]]'': “Lifeguard” focuses on a judge who is caught getting kickbacks in exchange for juveniles to be sent to private detention centers, [[Ripped from the Headlines| based on the Kids for Cash Scandal]].
* ''[[iCarly (TV)ICarly| iCarly]]'': In "iHave My Principals", the school under Howard and Briggs meets this trope. This is mostly on a Type 2 situation since it's unclear if any adult from the outside would've helped.
* ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'': In “Principals” Crubbs almost makes the school Type 2 case, but {{spoiler| the job was given Wright, who turns out to be a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] compared to Crubbs.}}
* ''[[The Tribe]]'': A New Zealand program about adolescent survivors of a plague that left them orphaned. This is a full-blown Type 3 situation due in part of the [[Only Fatal to Adults|adults being killed by the plague]]. The series focuses on survivors and new societies they must formed as a result.
== Western Animation ==
* '''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)| Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples and Teens, and Gays]]''': Springfield temporary becomes this after a baby riot. When plans to [[Up Toto Eleven| make matters worse]] arrive, Marge has come her own plan for families although it’s {{spoiler| Bart and Lisa}} who does save day for the children of Springfield.
