I have mixed memories of my days as a teenager in 13th Century Padua. I played the flute in the church orchestra. I loved doing so. I was going to marry my girlfriend Isolde, but she died of typhus at age 17.
So if you kept your kids at home, you would lose money because you had to feed them. But by lending your kids out, you can feed these other kids less food. Wouldn’t a parent realize that if they themselves had gone through this starvation period that they would have known how uncomfortable it was, since it happened to them? And, wouldn’t it simply have been easier to just starve your own kids and not put them through this? I don’t get why this benefited anyone. Unless the kids learned a skill during this time that could then be used once they come back.

As a ex-teenager, I can't blame them. The world is hostile to teens. There's no place for them to hang out anymore, people treat the great ones like shit, they're "too old" for childish things and adults rag on them 24-7 for ANYTHING. "ACT YOUR AGE" but then they still treat them like children- NOTE, this is for the GOOD teens and not the hooligans you're describing.

That depends on how family’s treat their children (usually boys/men are considered children and live with their moms until 40 (see Italy)) In most eastern European countries you are considered a teen by 14 when you can actually get punished by law. At the age of 18-19 you are considered a young adult. Young adults are until the age of 25, when you are supposed to have finished studies or an apprenticeship. Anything after 25 is considered adult. It’s normal to consider marriage and starting a family. Most women I know have children by the age of 23-25 and 28 is considered “old”…

The Middle Ages must've been Hell for teenagers who had neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD and so on. Still, if I was born in the Middle Ages and survived to be a teenager, I'd like to be apprenticed by a craftsman or artisan, maybe even join a guild.
@garyallen8824I have to agree with you. In one study it was found that the majority of medieval children died by drowning usually in a Pool or the long ditches that surrounded each plot of land and usually in their own land. An autistic or ADHD child would most probably be killed this way basically because children weren’t really watched.
@garyallen8824 + Actually, we were still quite common even back then. The more extreme of us were labeled as "changelings" aka fairy babies switched at birth. Most people with conditions actually had it a LOT better back then because there was not a lot of overstimuli to result in stuff like meltdowns. Worst case scenario you were shipped off to a convent/monastery. Natural lighting, rural living, ect, any neurodivergent traits were not exasperated by stress. Sometimes you'd get a "Oh that's Jonathan, he doesn't speak a word but he tends to the sheep very well" Autistic and other neurodivergencies were actually super useful. Given that I've been autistic all my life and lived REALLY rural, you wouldn't have known I'd have it (and low functioning no less) besides from my lack of being verbal, no eye contact and not liking being touched. As soon as we moved to a city, oh yeah, it became EXTREMELY apparent that I had autism because the added stimuli overwhelmed me and stressed me out and exasperbated my condition.
@garyallen8824 You sound like a total ignoramus. Yes it’s over-diagnosed, but the fact the YOU don’t get it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The hubris of some people!
@@WoodlandGloomthank you for your input! I have a high functioning autistic son and I have wondered what happened to children and people like that. Gotta admit, that never looked it up, but reading your reply makes so much sense with whatever history I have read or watched.
Maybe these conditions didn't exist back then ..there's a lot of evidence that childhood vaccinations have caused a lot of these problems in modern times

The guy in the thumbnail is Pico della Mirando, an actual medieval/Renaissance wizard
“Some were orphaned before they were even born”??
Buttholdus is such an unfortunate name 7:05
Walking to school in the Middle Ages must be like doing Skyrim quests.
Let me tell you, living in the Middle Ages as a teen was hard! I wouldn't want to relive it. Kids these days have no idea
Yeah , it was wild
How do you do, fellow kids?
The Middle Ages must've been Hell for teenagers who had neurodivergent conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD and so on.
Still, if I was born in the Middle Ages and survived to be a teenager, I'd like to be apprenticed by a craftsman or artisan, maybe even join a guild.
@garyallen8824I have to agree with you. In one study it was found that the majority of medieval children died by drowning usually in a Pool or the long ditches that surrounded each plot of land and usually in their own land. An autistic or ADHD child would most probably be killed this way basically because children weren’t really watched.

Actually, we were still quite common even back then. The more extreme of us were labeled as "changelings" aka fairy babies switched at birth. Most people with conditions actually had it a LOT better back then because there was not a lot of overstimuli to result in stuff like meltdowns. Worst case scenario you were shipped off to a convent/monastery. Natural lighting, rural living, ect, any neurodivergent traits were not exasperated by stress. Sometimes you'd get a "Oh that's Jonathan, he doesn't speak a word but he tends to the sheep very well" Autistic and other neurodivergencies were actually super useful.
Given that I've been autistic all my life and lived REALLY rural, you wouldn't have known I'd have it (and low functioning no less) besides from my lack of being verbal, no eye contact and not liking being touched. As soon as we moved to a city, oh yeah, it became EXTREMELY apparent that I had autism because the added stimuli overwhelmed me and stressed me out and exasperbated my condition.
@garyallen8824 You sound like a total ignoramus. Yes it’s over-diagnosed, but the fact the YOU don’t get it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The hubris of some people!
@@WoodlandGloomthank you for your input! I have a high functioning autistic son and I have wondered what happened to children and people like that. Gotta admit, that never looked it up, but reading your reply makes so much sense with whatever history I have read or watched.
Maybe these conditions didn't exist back then ..there's a lot of evidence that childhood vaccinations have caused a lot of these problems in modern times
How did they deal with periods back then?
Listen buddy, you dont even want to know, its gross and they didnt have pads either my guess is their used cloths like cotton cloths
🙋🏾♂️Wait, quick question🙋🏾♂️…. How do you be orphaned before you are born?
What if Berserk was written back in the Middle Ages…….
Wait...they were orphaned before they were born? How is that possible?
Oh those Medieval teens... talk about "ye olde parental units" amirite?
"Freshers"? I need to add that to my notebook for my D&D5E and PFRPGE1 characters!
The thumbnail looks like Topher Bus from clone high season 2 lol
… sometimes when a special hair begins to grow a lot of questions come up and the answer is “she’s a witch!!!!!!”

Wait. Did you say a student's name was Buttholedis?
I was teenager in early 2010s
that max moefoe in the thumbnail?
This video should have been called "The history of frat boys"😃
Were people ever praised for their hard work?
omg her shoes on the bed @_@
The term teenage wasn't coined until around the 1920's, they went from child to you adult before then
"Some children were orphaned before even being born" ? LOL how can you lose both parents (the definition of being an orphan) before being born??
Death during childbirth, that’s how
The kids moved out when young so the family wouldn't drive each other crazy. Same thing happens today.
"What better way to teach these lessons and shape teenagers into men by learning about money, alcohol, being rude to Professors and gossiping about the evils of menstruating women?"💀
His name was Buttholdus?
You don’t cut wood like that-just smack the piece of wood against the log a few times & the axe will split it at the top 😂
I'm not a geneticist, but some babies need to sent out on ice for the polar bears to eat. 4:49
So sad that most people died so young.
"Some were orohaned before there were even born" wtf you talking about bro? Like the baby would die if the mother dosent give birth.... Unles the mom dies at like 9 months and they cut the baby out... I think they could do that.... Idek honestly
That first clip is so nasty wth sits on their bed with their shoes on
Lol also 7:06 it sounded like "Buttholdis"
Who chops wood like that?😂😂
maxmoefoe???
Universities haven't changed much in 600 years.
No time to be young.
Or, when expected lifetime is only about 24 for males, there's no time other than to be young really
"some were oorphaned before they were even born" something ab that statement isn right
"Some were orphaned before they were even born" Explain??
I think it means that the parents were already going to give u away or they would not have made it for ur birth. The mother would die after giving birth so the child was orphaned
You were raised by wolves after you fell out in a field.
The mothers would knock a piece of wood 4 times before screaming into the night on a full moon "CAST THIS BABY TO THE WARLOCKS" and then boom they are orphaned
