30 Things That Are Cool When You’re A Kid But Are Very Much The Opposite When You’re An Adult
What makes us give other people credit evolves as we get older. Thankfully.
But to really drive this point home, let's take a look at a Reddit post by user Jelz where they asked everyone to share all the things that make you cool in school but have the opposite effect in adult life.
Like buying alcohol for kids. Or playing with Beyblades and carrying around a giant arena for them at all times. Or just scroll down and check out the rest of the replies!

It didn't make me cool, but an old friend of mine (we're no longer friends) was far cooler than me. Why? Because he didn't care about grades, was openly hostile to authority, smoked weed all the time, had a criminal record, and generally just had that "I don't give a f**k, I'm a badass" confidence.
That's cool in high school. Nowadays, though, that guy is thought of as being very uncool. Why? Because not caring about your job performance (the adult equivalent of not caring about grades), being openly hostile to authority (such as your supervisors, or the cops), spending most of your waking life stoned, having a criminal record, and somehow still thinking you're a badass definitely isn't cool in adulthood.

Did you not read all of it? They literally said the latter isn't cool anymore... Because it's not if you're an adult.. something you're clearly not.

Laugh at me all you want but he wasn't 'cool' doing things you mentioned even as a child.
Jef Bateman 3 years ago
Near the end of the school year once, the coolest kid stood up after the nerdiest kid got off the bus. He told us, "Do you know why you're always picking on that guy? Because you call him cruel names now, but in ten years the only things you are going to be able to call him are 'Sir', or 'boss' or 'Mr. F.......'" I never saw a single speech that had a longer lasting effect, even after the cool kid and the nerd graduated, people on that bus were a little nicer. (I talked to the nerdy kid about 20 years later, and he said that the very same cool kid had teased him a lot when they were younger. I guess he grew out of it and wanted to share his wisdom.)

Down vote all you want, but I have sympathy for the "cool" kid, here. Op never mentioned him being a bully, and op is the one calling him "cool," as a passive aggressive character judgement. Issuing unsolicited labels and stereotypes isn't really very cool either. Sure, I'm taking this a little personally. I am now, and was as a teen, a recreational marijuana enthusiast, who despises authority, dresses to make myself happy and won't work for a boss. Guess what? My life is awesome as an adult, my family is happy and healthy and my clients are many of those "rule abiding" types and we are all cool with each other.

I was the opposite. I followed all of the rules through childhood and as I got older I realized my elders were completely clueless and that most humans are incompetent, useless creatures and our society takes a large amount of dishonesty with ourselves and each other just to function. I no longer have respect for any humans and I feel as if I'm surrounded by creatures who refuse to evolve.

You were really cool if you were missing a tooth in school. If you’re missing a tooth in adulthood you just look like a crackhead.
Vorknkx 3 years ago
Well, it is expected to be missing teeth as a kid, since they get changed. As an adult, a missing tooth is an indicator of illness or trauma.

As someone who's getting their teeth replaced it's extremely embarrassing because I know some people (probably strangers) look at me like I'm a crackhead but I'm not, the women in my family just have bad teeth we have to replace in our late 20's-mid 30s.

All crackheads don't lose their teeth that is a stereotype people that don't brush their teeth and floss lose their teeth. People who use crack and brush their teeth and floss which some of them do. That's another stereotype that they don't. Those are the people who lose their teeth. And I hope you lose all of your teeth. For making fun of such a deadly addiction. You suck

Well, if the US had proper health/dental care - people could go to the dentist every 6 months and never have problems. I work a full time job and do artwork on the side and have not been to a dentist in 11 years because I have no insurance - and to be seen you have to have X rays, etc to the tune of around $800. I will pay my Vet that much - but I don't have it for me.

Wondering if the bragging was derogatory to the partners. Could have been dad was putting OP in their place over being misogynistic/pig headed. At first I thought a woman had posted this, and after dealing with many traumatic body shamings of friends by their parents was ready to back OP, but I've never known a woman to brag about sex in front of their parents...Also hoping threw the cat is a phrase and not being said literally here.

Being the "class clown" in any sort of instructional setting. It's funny when you're a kid but seen as obnoxious and attention-seeking when you're an adult

I was voted "Most Likely to be Out of Dress Code" in high school, because I was always getting detention for breaking dress code. It was a pretty cool honor to have for a senior superlative, because it was about as rebellious as you could get at a Jesuit high school.
As an adult that would just get me fired if I was constantly breaking the dress code of a place that had one.
Julia Nolan 3 years ago
Eh, I think it depends. A lot are pure nonsense. But others are pretty logical, like no, you don't get to wear a T-shirt with a racist (or sexist or homophobic) slogan on it. You can't show up to work (at most jobs) naked. Certain clothes aren't right for certain offices (bikinis at almost all of them, but certain other clothes in more formal positions). I feel like some are created because someone likes to micromanage. But some are similar to that sign that asks people not to poo on the rocks. HR really, really wishes they didn't have to say "No, you really can't wear your Nazi armband to work", but this is the world we live in...

There's also often an unofficial dress code as an adult. Even when there's not a published rule with a codified consequence, there are still consequences to flouting expectations. There's not really a dress code where I work. You need to wear clothes that aren't offensive and not stink. I could totally come in to work in a pair of ratty sweatpants or my pajamas, messy hair, and I'm not in violation. However, it will negatively impact how my coworkers see me. I am not getting promoted like that. I look like I don't care. Whether it's at work, or socially, your clothing and grooming are part of your interaction with people. Unfortunately, at least here in the US, the dress codes are so strict and out of touch, they're not teaching this lesson. They're more of a hammer being used to force obedience.
aj B 3 years ago
I think it's mostly a matter of 'we have to because 1 idiot can't be trusted' when it comes to dress codes, because in theory one isn't supposed to be in public in their underwear, yet "people of walmart" has evidence that even laws regarding indecent exposure won't stop that. So the need for a written code becomes vital to allow them to enforce as needed but because there's always that one guy who "it just says I have to wear pants, doesn't say on my legs" it has to have something dumbly specific. Granted on the point of being too strict and out of touch you're absolutely right.

I got in trouble for breaking dress code. Didn't have a lot of money and my grandmother would alter my grandfather's old button ups into blouses. Because she took the sleeves off, as well as taking them in, adding darts, etc. My shoulders would partly show and I had one teacher who sent me out of class every time I wore one. I was proud of those shirts. My granny was an awesome seamstress. And so I would get my shoulders measured and they would see if they could see my bra straps and they would send me back. Not sure why I had a hard time in that class. /s

Back in the 1990s when I was a bank teller we had a strict dresscode. Business attire was required. Dress pants or skirt and a button up blouse or nice sweater. No cleavage.No vests or sleeveless tops unless worn over a shirt or under a shirt or sweater. Dress shoes.Pantyhose if legs were exposed. Modest jewelry was OK. Appropriate hairstyles were a must as well. No non-natural color dyes, no spiky hair, etc. I mostly wore dress pants or skirts with a button up blouse. Sometimes I'd wear a suit jacket or sweater. I usually wore black leather dressy boots. I liked long skirts or pants so I didn't have to wear pantyhose. Now I'm disabled and not working but I do miss dressing up every day. Edited to fix punctuation and to add a sentence for more info.

I think that schools should have a basic uniform dress code and the items should be available at a reasonable price from the school and nearby stores ( eg black pants or regular jeans, plain polo or tshirt in school colours). It's parents less likely parents will have to spend big bucks on back to school wardrobes and kids will be teased about not being trendy.

At the Jesuit high school I went to in the 60's, you could ignore the dress code by paying a fine. So there was essentially no dress code for the rich kids and a strictly enforced one for everybody else. (Guess how much I've given them as an alum.)

At my school, bragging about how drunk you got at the weekend was a thing! People would take pictures/videos if their friends who were falling about the place/passed out etc and everyone would come in on Monday and laugh about what ‘scenes’ they were. At our prom we gave out prizes like ‘most likely to...’ and we had a few drink related categories and there was just generally a vibe that if you didn’t go out every weekend and get really drunk, you were a bit of a weirdo.
Now though (I’m 25), seeing girls tripping over their heals and being so drunk they can’t open their eyes properly/talk without slurring is just embarrassing.

Back in the day, Hot Wheels was the s**t. We used to bring them into elementary school, show them off, and trade them.
Anything with gold wheels was hot s**t. Anything that was a model of a real car was too. We used to just make stuff up that "boosted" the rarity of a car. Stuff like, "This one is in metallic white and only 10 were made!"

This is so way off! There is a MASSIVE international adult community that collects Hot Wheels and other brands such as Matchbox, Tomica, etc. Hot Wheels even has a site that just releases premium collectibles. The die-cast market has exploded in the last 15 years due to adult collectors.

I was going to say this. I worked in large retail and there was always a group of adults lined up at the doors on "Hot Wheels" day. They knew when we were going to get a new shipment of Hot Wheels and would rummage through the shipments before we would put them on the shelves.

Collecting Matchbox from the 50s and 60s is still cool, but pricey. A .55 cent model in 1962 in mint condition and box today could be worth $75 or so. Some places will restore old ones, but they cost even more! Great hobby in the day.

In High School, I knew all of the lyrics to a ton of late-90s and early 2000s club banger rap songs. I was known for this throughout my entire school, and people would always dance near me at dances to watch me flawlessly lip sync these songs. I did the rapping hand movements too, and often some of the dances from the music videos, although I was a much better lip syncer than dancer. I am and was a tiny white girl from a small rural village.
It's so embarrassing to think about now. I do occasionally get asked to do it at the weddings of classmates, but I wiggle out of it by sticking to the bar. I can't imagine the brain power I wasted on this, when I should have been focusing on my studies. Probably one of the reasons that I had to take remedial math in college. Thank God I no longer live near where I grew up, I've been hiding from memories of my high school self ever since, I was so cringe.

The good news is - cringing at what you used to do/say is a sign of growing up and becoming wiser ;)
Thomas N 3 years ago (edited)
It’s a sign of insecurity, actually. In the same vein as regret and shame - appropriate when you’ve done something truly wrong but reminiscing in cringy memories is something you only do when you’re doubting yourself. Growing up and becoming wiser comes from accepting that those cringy memories are who you are regardless of how that makes you feel. Trying to distance yourself from those memories will only make you feel less qualified - everyone has their own journey but it will truly start when you stand and face the past without shame or regret.

It wasn’t just drugs that made me this popular, but I believe that if it wasn’t for always partying, the door wouldn’t have opened for me socially at my high school.
