Over the past year or so, there has been this reoccurring issue that has not only really irritated me, but shows just how immature and insecure people are. Have you ever heard the argument that goes a little something like this; "Well I am older" or "because of my age" then "I therefore need to be the responsible one." OR my personal irritation is well because "you are only such-and-such an age then you're not mature enough to understand" or "it doesn't concern you."
Life is not measure by your years in age, but rather the experiences you have. You grow and mature based off of what you deal with not because you reach a certain age. Just because I am 19, versus someone who is 23 or 25 does NOT mean I am a "child."I am SICK and TIRED of people using age as a label for people.
If you know me, you know that I have been through, and dealt with more than anyone my age should have to go through. We all have our tough times in life, and we all have the pain from our path to deal with. We all have mistakes, we all have regrets. However, everyone's experiences and troubles are more significant to them than they might be to an outsider looking in. Just because you may think something I have gone through can't even begin to compare to what you suffered at some point in your life does NOT make my experiences or obstacles any less significant, nor does it make yours any more significant.
I will not sit here and make an argument or lash out that when you label someone based on age, that in return actually makes yourself childish, because then that really has served no one any purpose but instead puts me right onto your level of immaturity.
I REFUSE to become the kind of person who lives one way but says another; unlike some people I know who talk one way, and turn into everything they say they are against. It's painful for me to watch genuinely good people turn into and become the type of person they "hate" and don't want to be like, and then see just how completely blinded they become to the point where even when it is pointed out to them they cannot see it, and then therefore, everyone else becomes the "terrible" individual.
