There are people on here that are well on into their life. There are also people here that, like me, haven’t even been here two decades. I’ve seen people die, shit I’ve almost died. Age is a lie. Just because someones 16 doesn’t mean they haven’t been through the wringer. I’m tiered of people telling me I’m “too young”. I’ve been through more in my 16 years than most do in their lives. My parents say, “you’re too young to smoke. Your too young to have problems. Your too young to have all this shit wrong with you” well fuck you guys. I may be 16 on the outside, but I’ve been through the same amount of shit as an 80 year old. If they went through half the shit they alone put me though they’d shut the hell up about me being “problemed”.

your not the only one im only 14 and ive been through alot of shit to your not alone anymore
My mentality is thrice my original age when it comes to suicide, drugs and pain. I live in a glass house and I’ve been throwing stones too much. (If you get the reference, you’re awesome)
oh my gosh,I know what you mean.:( I’m 19 now but by the time I was 16 I had already seen a lot of bad days in my life,(cancer,abuse,living with an alcoholic,being essentually homeless,having an eating disorder,the death of my mom,having a brain tumor,and various horrible relationship problems and family problems)I felt so scarred and broken.that was probably one of the hardest years of my life. just because your young doesn’t mean you haven’t gone through a lot,and your right-some people skate through life and their worst problem is that really bad haircut in 98. It’s not fair,and they don’t understand. how could they? sadly,most people don’t really understand unless they do experience something for themselves.I learned that even though i’ve been through so much that other people my age don’t have to go through,it’s given me empathy and taught me things that people decades older than me haven’t learned yet,and I’m wiser and a better person because of it. It’s frustrating when someone talks down to you,i understand that completely. 🙁 but,just consider the source.how could they understand?they might someday if they ever go through something similar,but until then,they probably won’t get it. but I think in a sense,because there is so much ahead of us,and we are young,what they are saying is relevant because we have so much ahead of us to accomplish. and even though things are bad now,this is just one really bad phase in our lives we have to get through. your going to grow up and by say, 25,you’ll probably be smarter and a better person than 95% of the people you know,regardless of age.(heck,you probably are right now already,and your probably more grown up than them too) but the difference is,you can go on from this and be anything in the world that you want to be,because you have your whole life ahead of you. you can overcome this. :)I believe in you,and i know everybody here does too.
I feel you.I’m about your aqe and people don’t believe that I’ve been threw stuff.I feel like I’m twenty-three years old but what I always say Is hey that’s just thuq life for ya.
the age argument is ignorant as fuck
many adults like to think they have life figured out better than you, that you’re too young/inexperienced to know what you’re talking about, that they always understand what you’re trying to tell them
those who actually understand are quiet about it, they find a way to let you know they get you without trying to come off as more experienced
* without having an ‘I’m smarter, more experienced, wiser’ attitude
As a 16 year old who’s seen their mother try to kill herself, been socially isolated and bullied, been abused for years and been worried about where their next meal might come from before, yea, I think the age argument is stupid too. That being said, you should still respect those who are older than you. Its not because they’re superior, its because respect is something you should be giving everybody. Comparing your problems to your parents is immature. I’m sure they’ve been through more than you realize. You can’t ever really know a person, only what they willingly show you. Don’t forget that. Everyone has their secrets.
