i still classify myself as a teenager. i still feel like i am treated like a teenager. i still feel like i act and look like a teenager. but as i drive past high schools, everyone looks so young, jeebus. who let these 6th graders into high school.

turning 20 was supposed to be a symbolic leap out of my teenage years. it sybolized age, and with age a certain respect from older generations. i still have yet to see this respect. i am still treated like a teenager, and i imagine i will be for the next few years. i have these expectations to act more responsible, but why bother when i am not given the respect that that responsibility should entail? so i don't bother, i just go on having the fun i feel a teenager should have, the fun i enjoy having. you know what? the more i really think about it, i really don't need the respect. why should i care what people think about me. why should i start caring now? because i am 20? because sybolically i should be getting it? who gives a damn. just some things i was thinking about at work here, and watching people leave. i have more respect, in some ways, than any of the other staff here, because i won't put up with stuff. my opinion is listened to more than anyones, which is crazy, because i am the least qualified. at work, i get more respect than i deserve, and it is wierd. i almost wish i didn't, because someday it is going to come back and bite me in the ass
