👉 The "grown weapon" is a term used to describe a situation or metaphor where an individual, often a child or young person, is given or thrust into a role or responsibility that they are not fully prepared to handle, typically due to their age or immaturity. This can involve taking on adult-like tasks, making decisions that could have serious consequences, or being exposed to dangerous or inappropriate situations. The term highlights the disparity between the person's developmental stage and the demands placed upon them, often leading to emotional distress, guilt, or a sense of powerlessness. It is a critical concept in discussions about child protection, mental health, and the ethical responsibilities of adults towards minors.
