I hate it when people tell me I’m young like it’s a bad thing. “You’ll get over it, you’re only young” “Oh, 16? Is that all?” Since when does age define a person? Does it make me any less able to feel, express or understand emotions? I’ll bet there are 16 year olds out there who have already been through a hell of a lot more than some 40 year olds have been through. Disrespect people for their personalities, not their age.
