Age-shaming/agephobia deserves more attention

[BetterDaysAhead]

Who else here has experienced agephobia? Has anybody ever been shamed for being “too old” or “too young”? I’ve been called the Y word

Many of the adeers on this forum have called me "yariisey" but I'm sure it's out of the kindness and love in their hearts

No one should be shamed for their age. No one should be ashamed of their age. With age comes wisdom and experience (for some people lol). You've lived life longer, seen more of it. I've always said that I'd proudly show off my grey hair when I got older. It's like a beautiful, elegant looking badge of honor.

And for youngins, why should you be shamed for being young? You've got a whole life ahead of you! Something that those older than you may not be able to boast about. If older morons that you were two minutes ago having a mind-stimulating conversation with ridicules you about your age, that just exposes their bullshit! Proves that a kid can be smart and challenge them intellectually.

Be proud duqaas and yarisows/yariiseys of the world.
