If the character’s youth, and the injustice of their experience, is not part of the whole point of the story, then I agree. OTOH, some of my favorite stories are stories that involve young people having to take on things that are far, far too harsh and complex and dangerous and mature for anyone their age (or anyone, period) to rightly have to take on. As long as the recognition of that injustice and cruelty is an inherent part of the story. As long as the story is clear on the fact that they’re a fucking kid, and it’s horrible that they have to do the things they do.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of my all-time favorite shows for just this reason. That flashback scene where John is sleeping with a rifle, and he’s let go of it in his sleep, and Sarah looks at him sleeping and then gently moves his hand back onto the rifle just absolutely kills me.

Or the fact that the first time John ever see’s a girl’s naked breasts, she’s a robot, cutting herself open and asking him to put his hand under her breastplate to see if she’s broken or safe. Instead of a giddy, nervous, fumbling “first time” experience, he gets that.

It's fucking heartbreaking, and it's meant to be.
