6** Jimmy hates '''anyone''' older than him.
7** Jimmy's hatred of adults continues [[BoomerangBigot even after he becomes one himself]].
8* '''Downplayed:''' Jimmy finds his parents boring and annoying, but thinks his lax teacher or his older adult brother is alright.
9* '''Justified:'''
10** Jimmy is a BrattyHalfPint who doesn't like being told what to do.
11** Jimmy was molested by an adult and doesn't trust adults with authority.
12** Jimmy lives in a CrapsackWorld and feels adults are responsible for screwing it up – and that it was wrong for him to have been born.
13** Growing up, the adults failed to protect Jimmy from people who bullied and abused him (sometimes the adults were just as bad and immature as the people bullying/abusing him), so it would make sense for Jimmy to resent older people.
