>and it was precious.
Yeah I know that feeling. I try not to friend any of them though and I tell them that I won't, because it's the internet and they need to make friends of their own age and not creepy adults like me but man do a lot of these kids seem to desperately want an adult who just listens to them. Seems like a lot are growing up with parents who didn't plan them so they are terrible at it. Not my place naturally to fill this gap in as a bystander, but it's so obvious when you see it. They get conversational diarrhea and won't stop talking and it's, like you said, precious to listen to. Vices of becoming older I guess anon, we've left our edgelord years and want to welcome a bit of the warm and comfy.
I agree on adults. They can also be distant the entire time, never to open up and they have other things going on in their lives. You never really know. I've met some women too who won't even disclose that they are dating someone and will act incredibly friendly with you, almost like they are interested and then later down the line almost as being forced to say it they'll mention their in real life boyfriend, even though I don't care at all. 
I think it boils down to the simple fact that as adults we carry baggage that molds us into good / bad and it pours into our every word.
Kids don't have this and can be very pure and simple and thus so insanely refreshing to listen to. Not all obviously. Some kids have horrible childhoods and are total brats, you can also tell that easily. The ones who misbehave obviously have discord at home to be like that.
