Explanation:

From personal experience I can say that cultural expectation does vary depending on, of course, what culture you're from.

Since I'm Hispanic, the expectations for me were to know what to do, how to act, etc despite never being shown how to properly do any of these things.

But once I started to "act" my age or try to challenge the adult's "authority", they would immediately shut me down and tell me I'm nothing more than a little kid, despite being told I was almost an adult.

Theres lots of double standards in Hispanic culture.

It creates toxic environments and toxic relationships, but that is all I can say from personal experience.
