Generalisations are called generalisations because they only claim to be GENERALLY true. Pointing out what is in your opinion an exception is not a counter argument.
Every generalisation has exceptions. I was wiser at 11 than you are at 80, but so what? We're both exceptions.
Even when an 11 year old has wisdom, they do so mostly because they've been taught it by someone else. They aren't very capable of seeing truth for themselves.

How weird that such a response is from you. Very surprising and shocking too. It is snarky and mean-spirited and insulting. Usually I don't get that from you. This time my luck ran out.. What makes you think the question is about me? I heard an 11-year-old young black girl address a crowd of thousands regarding guns and deaths and violence and common sense. The adults who, due to age, that are allegedly wiser...aka NRA and its supporters...make much less sense as do almost all politicians. I am surprised that you would take a tack like this. I wonder why that is? At any rate have you watched, heard, listened to anything that has been going on vis a vis the MARCH FOR OUR LIVES? As I understand it all the human beings who spoke were 18 years old or younger. The student leaders (who were made up of budding journalists, theater arts students and those on various school debate teams) were in control of those who spoke. Why would you make this question about me tom? I thought we had an understanding. I thought wrong. Did I answer your question? You did not answer mine but never mind. Thank you for showing up and Happy Monday. Have good life.
