Somehow 13 year old kids can cause a lot of trouble for the 17 year old.
Do they not know respect? Or even shame?
Blatantly lying. Obviously desperate.
I'm not blasting ALL 13 year old kids, just some of them.
You want people to take you seriously because you say you're "All Grown Up".
Take an advice from someone your senior,
If you want people to take you seriously, and not treat you like a kid,
Then, first, you HAVE to act appropriately.
Just shouting to the world that you want to be treated with respect, doesn't make people respect you.
No matter how many times you shout it.
With that kind of attitude, I'm not surprise if the world closes both ears and refuse to listen to you.
When that time comes and it finally happens,
I'll be the first one to stand and cheer because that is what you deserve.
