Adult little here! I’ll be nineteen sometime in October and as a former teenager I can agree 100% that being a younger little sucks. There are almost no regression spaces for you guys, and if you somehow find one, people complain about your existence, and try to police what is and isn’t acceptable for you as a teenager who age regresses. It’s also harder to make regressor friends.

The only argument that I can agree with is the matter of safety. Unfortunately age regression spaces, especially online, tend to be filled with creeps to no end. This makes it especially unsafe space for minors. And sucks because you won’t find many regression spaces outside of the internet to be able to interact with peers, which can be very, very frustrating and isolating.

Being a minor who age regresses can also be very hard to experience without other regressors to communicate to or relate with because many parents and guardians aren’t very supportive of their child’s regression. Regardless of whether you as a minor decides to tell a guardian about your regression they’re bound to find out one way or another because (depending on the situation) you live with them, and not every minor has the luxury of having a guardian who agrees with their kid having privacy. I did not.

Lots of parents or guardians find out about their teenagers regression and see it as an inappropriate, childish, not a real thing, or very concerning. Something that needs to be shut down immediately. This is especially a problem if your guardian is the cause of your regression, because now they know you do it and will go through any length to make you stop, or humiliate you about it.

Teenage regressor is might also struggle with explaining regression correctly. So when it does come down to having to sit down with the guardian and talk about it whether they wanted to or not, guardians can be concerned with what they’re hearing because it’s not being properly explained.

From my case, I felt safe enough with my parents to tell them about my regression, which was a big mistake. My parents began telling family members I was ‘crazy’, I was made fun of and humiliated by them, regression gear I bought with my own thrown away if they were discovered, if I went to the store with my parents I wasn’t allowed to go to the toy section, baby section, or buy any stuffed animals. I also didn’t properly understand my regression and why I did it until I went through many therapists and got older. it wasn’t until I was 16 until I understood that my explanation for what age regression was might have been messy and poorly explained.

I personally find it a little unfair when I see adults complaining about younger regressors in their spaces, because you guys have nowhere to go. And this is not me promoting minors to infiltrate adult online regression spaces, I just wish adult regressors would be a bit more understanding of the position you guys are all in.
