Im a teen as well :) I try my best to be taken seriously :hide

I take you seriously!

Just because someone is young doesn't mean they do not have something to contribute. Many young people study, focus, and dedicate themselves to the things they are passionate about and often they bring a great bit to the table.

Many older folks lose out when they discount a young person... @luvmypets if someone treats you that way smile and move on.
Oldtimers like myself are always learning .... I love our young people on here!

I am curious as to whether or not there are others in the '70 or older' bracket. 76 this coming July 8 and still doing almost everything I ever did. A little slower and paying with a little more pain, but as Baymule says I am living my dream and learning daily. Having the Princess by my side for the past 53 years has helped make things a blast. Yep, I'm one of those pesky chicken folk who is going to keep on visiting.

Yes, I know dozens! I also enjoy talking with and learning from the adults...you have so much to teach!

My Mom, who instilled a love for animals and anything with feathers in me, lived to be 97. One of her sayings was, "There's no sin in getting old, but acting old is a sin." I enjoy folks who have a passion for something. Others tend to bore me.

I'm 63 Growing up I loved to listen to older people's stories . Now I tell those stories. The youngsters of today are us tomorrow with a lot more headaches . If your here your way ahead many others . they consum what you produce . Yet they only serve to clutter space . As I pass the farms of my childhood and am depressed to see them all gone replaced by tall buildings and parking lots. I wonder how would they survive without people like us .Few today know the way fruits and vegetables are supposed to taste . Consider this I am better than no one and no one is better than me . Intelligence is a thirst that only knowledge can quince. Courtesy is cultured not concord . Patience is truly a virtue and the hardest to master . Respect is earned not given . Age has nothing to do with any of these things .

I'll be 60 in 2 weeks so checked that box (60+). Thank you teens, for NOT posting your ages! Once you're above 18 it's fine, as you're legal, but younger than that it's against forum rules. :):thumbsup
