Adultification 

Adultification is when groups of minority children are treated as more mature than lighter skinned children. it stems from a racial bias and negative stereotype of minority groups. This view is usually projected onto young African American girls, people thinking they don't need as much comfort, security, and love as white or lighter skinned children, and that African American girls know more about adult topics, are more mature, and know more about sex.

Adultification is seen heavily in media, African American girls and women being seen as more sassy, mature, aggressive, and/or provocative, this can also be (sadly) applied to other minority groups.
Chloe from Hey Arnold! Is an example of adultification. She uses someone just to get closer to her crush and takes advantage of the person because he has a crush on her. Along with that, she also dresses like she's 15-19. Despite all this, she is only 13 years old.

adultification

Adultification is a term used in psychology and sociology to describe the manner in which some children are treated by adults as being more mature than they actually are—such as when they are expected to take on age-inappropriate adult roles and responsibilities as children, and when they are taken to be as culpable as adults for any crime or wrongdoing.
In the United States, adultification is often used to refer to a form of racial bias, whereby black American children are assumed to be more culpable, and punished more harshly than white children, for the same offences done at the same age.
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.
