OK..so life isnt always easy…

life isnt always great! But why do people always judge you on age…its a problem alot of adults have. when they think there finaly grown up…there in there twenties and they think they know everyting. But a child at age 12 could be more aware of certain situations. Take for example a child that was brought up with a dead father and a mother with artericis…this child has asthma. He faces bullying every day at school. The adult age 25 had a fairly normal life! parents got on well…was popular with people at school…nothing went wrong this adult got everything they wanted!…..Which is really the less educated person! By the way the child i described is practically me…take away the dead father and the age….im 15. ADD separated parents! My family has fanicial problems…so my life is far from perfect! I know alot of life as far as im concerned! So why do adults judge children…on merely age! The answer is they want to feel they finally have grown up…they want to gudge there lives on a younger citizen and say! Im mature! because im simply older!

I don’t know how to properly answer that one, Jo. I just think some or even most people just see people younger than they are, as stupid. When that’s not the case at all.

Some teens and children are a lot smarter than we as adults give them credit for. I’m with you on it that people need to realize we can’t all judge by a mere difference such as age, because you never really know.

I absolutely agree with Skye.

You’ll ALWAYS come across adults who will believe they’re smarter and wiser than you, because to them, the older they get, the more life experience they have under their belt. Which, in many cases it’s true, in others it’s not.

It’s just a fact of life, there’s not much you can do to make them not judge you as a younger person. Everybody judges everybody - the young judge the young; the old judge the old; even the young judge the old.

Just be yourself and know that you’re a good person and that’s what counts.

I know that I don’t have all the answers, but I also think experiance counts for something. Sure, some younger people have had to be more mature then others, some have had to come through a lot.

I’ve known a lot of teenager that are very bright and very put together and I do agree that some adults don’t give kids credit for their smarts and that kids are a lot smarter then adults give them credit for.

But I also know that as far as my own kids go, they haven’t seen what I have seen, they haven’t lived what I have lived and it would be wonderful if they could learn from my life lessons, because there are things that older people know that kids don’t know. It doesn’t make the children or the teens stupid, it just means they haven’t lived as long to know or understand certain things.

I guess it’s an age old battle if that makes any sense.

I believe your question is:

“Why do people judge who someone is based on their age alone?”

If I am correct im my interpretation my answer to you is:

“Because they are FOOLs” Soul

Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it”.
Luke 16-17

Yes I agree few people realize that there is alot of wisdom in children. However, alot of children think that their “wisdom” is right when it really isn’t.

I have found when it comes to thinkgs like drinking, curfew, sexuality etcetc children are NOT wise they aredrivin by hormones and are unable to see the wisdom they are given from other adults who KNOW what they are talking about and Csre. If htey are talking toyou, they care, be afraid when they don;t want to part wisdom to you… that means they don;t care anymore.

Chidlren are very wisein seeing through situations involving adults and speaking for their needs when listened too.

So, while you are being so wise, stop to really think what it is they are trying to talk to you about, do they have wisdom and what can you learn from that wisdom to apply to your own situation. Whne you ahve advice tog ive rememeber they are about as receptive to your advice as you are to theirs so by changing your attitude, you may get the respect you feel you deserve

Ermmmm because you ARE a kid.

You may be mature but you are still 15.

Why don’t you spend your life using your wisdom instead of trying to prove it to people.
