Adultism is a predisposition towards adults, which some see as biased against children, youth, and all young people who aren't addressed or viewed as adults. Adultism is popularly used to describe any discrimination against young people, and is distinguished from ageism, which is simply prejudice on the grounds of age; not specifically against youth.

Adultism is the oppression of all young people that happens from the day they are born simply because of their young age. It is presented in the attitudes of every adult who occupies the same space as young people, including parents, teachers, and youth workers.

It is true that in the old days, children were to be seen and not heard unless they were asked to speak.
