"I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do, I get 'Okaaaaaay, honey.' I remember when I was 18, getting crayons in a restaurant"

This quote by Kristen Bell speaks to the experience of being a young person in a world that frequently does not take them seriously. In spite of being of legal age to view R-rated movies, she is still carded, which indicates that she is not seen as an adult. This is further enhanced by the contemptuous method she is talked to when trying to do adult activities such as renting an auto or purchasing an airplane ticket. This is a reminder that also when young people are of legal age, they are still dealt with as youngsters. This is highlighted by the example of being offered crayons in a dining establishment when she was 18, which is something that is usually scheduled for children. This quote talks to the requirement for grownups to take young people seriously and also to treat them with respect.
