Take me for instance, I know I have a baby face, but did not know until recently that most people thought/think I look about 20-23, some say as old as 26, and others as young as 18 (I'm 31) and this is even from those younger than me! lol. So I am now understanding people more- It's funny- I get prejudged by others who are my age who think I'm much younger who think I'm some young dumb thing who knows nothing about life (which couldn't be FURTHER from the truth!) - but even if I was say, 20 years old, who is anyone to judge me for it? You don't know my life story, I may be wise beyond my years. Granted, there are a lot of young adults who THINK they know everything, but you should'nt assume as much of someone simply based on their age.
Same goes for older folks. It's always irked me to no end how some people have no respect for their elders and expect/assume a person is feeble just because they look to be beyond a certain age. Or the ones who automatically talk to them as if their a baby- they have all been where you are now- don't disrespect them by treating them as such. Anyway, that's my rant, I'm actually in a better mood now, actually have been in a great mood for most of the day and the past few days, just thought that was a topic worth discussing . . .

I sometimes hear stuff about how my generation or the current younger people than that are the worst yet, all thinking we're entitled to stuff we aren't and i don't get it most people I know around my age 25, and younger but over 18 are doing their best just to get by and have pretty damn good attitudes considering their circumstances. So I don't get all the crap talk...maybe there are some bratty younger people but don't we have those every generation or whatever? But yeah it kind of annoys me when people assume negative things because you're under 30....
But yeah I look younger than 25 so I always get id'd for beer and cigarettes but then even once people know I am 25 they still seem to treat me younger just because I look like i am...guess its hard for them to make sense of or something.
