You are bound to say that because you agree with her.
Older and wiser, they say. The older generation tends not to jump to conclusions. It's that simple, really.

That says it all, really. Children are easily manipulated, either by their parents or by their teachers quite often. Until they have experienced life a bit and realise that things are not as straight forward as they thought, they are not really in a position to make these big judgements on issues.
It is only natural for them to accept what adults tell them. These are the people they trust.
