Words to avoid

Unfortunately in the world full of adultism and protectoinism there is a lot of loaded language. We, as youth-righters should try to avoid these terms, as they normalize these viewpoints. Of course, if the term isn't loaded by itself, but by its cultural context, using it in positive light to reclaim it may be a good idea.

Terms we don't need to avoid

• the youth or young person/people/persons

This term is neutral. While it is used in negative connotations, it is also used in positive ones.
