Hi all, just something that's been floating around in my head lately.
I've been told on this very forum that some of my emotions, emotions other have felt are because the naivety that comes with being young. But when others older than I say they feel the same things, it's credited to their age, and their amount of experience that comes with their age.
I've been told that my hopes of achieving my dreams, and my believing that there's a possibility of them coming true is because of my age. They say that they believe in only facts, logic, and reality, and they say it like I don't live by those too. That think of my tiny sliver of optimism cancels out any larger amounts of logic and reasoning, and they act like I'm just a happy-clappy young teen who believes there's good and kindness and everyone, and act like I've been depressed for a while and have thought of killing myself.
Now, don't think that I"m saying that you should think every young person you ever meet is a logical, well-spoken human who has incredible judgement and reasoning, and who's opinions trump others of higher authority. Trust me, I know every kid my age (ESPECIALLY including me) has made their fair share of idiotic choices. But people act like because I believe that I can achieve my goals, that I'm just being an innocent kid. Not someone who's suffered form several mental disorders their whole life. They think that when I say I hope, that I sit around waiting for something good to happen to me, and not that I've worked most of my days trying to achieve this, a the expense of what others think of me.
Thoughts? Sorry for the typical teen angst rant .
