What Adora was telling us was that, most of the time, if not always, adults do not consider things kids say properly. They think that, because they are older, they are wiser, so therefore their ideas are better, while kids' ideas are childish.
I disagree with her, however, when she says only grown-up people do bad things. Teenagers and other kids do bad things too, such as shoplifting, taking drugs, etc...
It is true, however, that adults almost never listen to kids. or take them seriously. Most of the time, it is not even possible to counter their points - they just close the argument immediately, and just declare themselves the winner.
Adora is a very good example of why parents, or just adults, should listen to kids' opinions more. You definitely cannot say her points are childish and she says her lines with confidence. If more adults see this video, they will realize that children are capable of thinking for themselves, and maybe finally change how they act towards us.
