“Age ain’t nothin’ but a number”

I am SO sick of people judging me because of my age. I am about to just lose it right now. How ignorant can people be!? AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, it has nothing to do with anything. Granted, some people may say that with age comes experience and wisdom, and that is true to a certain extent but OMFG, NOT 100% of the time! By the time I was 16, I had been through a lot more than a lot of people should have to ever go through. I am about to turn TWENTY-SIX for God’s sake. It’s not like I’m some high schooler that has never had a job and has never been in the real world. My age does NOT affect my ability to do my job in any way, shape or form. At all. I wish people could just use their brains and realize that they don’t know everything, and they should try walking in someone else’s shoes for a minute. I don’t care if you have a PhD or how succesful you THINK you are. That means nothing to me. Neither does your age - ANYONE’S age. Some people are 75 years old and have never been through anything really bad at all. Have never had to do hard work, have never had to worry about their bills and their health and their families well being and death and anything. And some people are 15 years old and have had to worry about ALL of that. With age does not ALWAYS come experience and wisdom. I’m sorry but GET OFF MY BACK about my age. 26 is very close to 30. Maybe when I’m 30 people will respect me? Or do I have to wait til I’m 40? How can society expect to be respected when they don’t give any respect out? The young people and the old people always get screwed. It is unbelievable.

    It actually doesn’t get better with age. Believe me. I’ve met a bunch of people who look at me, give me one big stare, and decide I’m nothing. They decide I’m a wannabe, and they choose to expect nothing from me.

    The key is showing them up. Blow there socks off, sister! I know you can!

    BTW, who was dissing you?
