Same social problems, though-- lack of agemates who can relate, and a lack of academic peers who want to.



Ageism is a nasty thing to have to face every step of your development. You wind up with your nose pressed against the glass, and time and time again feeling disappointed when the time-lock expires and you're finally allowed "in" there where you've so wanted to go.

It might be appropriate at some point along the trajectory, but generally far, far sooner than you're "allowed" to access it. And some things reach an expiration date before the HG+ child is permitted to try them/access them at all.

It's the roughest part of asynchronous development, and what I've noticed is that being BEHIND agemates is far more acceptable (Bronies? REALLY??) than being ahead of them. cry
