How long are adults (the 30+ crowd) going to underestimate those under 21, simply because of a select amount of people in our age group who act like idiots and embarass the rational ones?
It's so amazing when adults say things like, "you think you know everything". They certainly don't, either. I'd like to meet the person who DOES know everything! Are you so frightened of being questioned? If someone half my age is smarter than me, I'm not going to burst into tears and try to convince them that I am right just because I was born first. I'm going to take that as inspiration to get myself more educated!
And one last question....why is it that people 30+ are so eager to flap their ageist egos around and pretend that they are better than young people....yet they are so desperate to look like us and always want to be told that they look and feel young? If you want youth, stop being a hypocrite.
