It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?
Unfortunately, there are mental invalids of every age who exist on other people's terms. It's lazy for older persons to let others make up their minds for them. People have to overcome that.
People who say you're just as old as you feel are all wrong, fortunately.
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older there's this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now I'm in the middle ground - I think women in their thirties are taken seriously.
I don't like age barriers. I don't like when people treat you differently when they find out how old you are.
It's no use growing older if you only learn new ways of misbehaving yourself.
I think people deceive themselves about themselves, particularly as they get older.
When you're old, you are more certain of who you are, and that may be a good thing or a bad thing.
I think age is just something written down on a piece of paper. I mean, you come across 20-year-olds who are like old people sometimes. I've never taken much account of age throughout my life - my own or anyone else's.
I don't like it when people who are young act like they're 40. That's taking too much on. Putting up a shield and trying to act like you're so mature or whatever - I don't try to act mature. Some people might say I'm mature for my age, but it's not something I'm trying to do, you know? I'm just me.
