What makes a statement more reliable or unreliable? Youth. Those in their youth are judged by their peers, silenced by their superiors, and left with only the fear of being ostracized engraved into their brain. Just for their age. "Why should we listen to a child not yet released into the world?", "Why should we trust you?", "You look too young to understand this."
How would you know?
Is it because of my age?
Why does age matter?
I guess to you I'm just some "misunderstood" teenager trying to sound deep. But if these exact words were coming through a 50 year old man's wrinkled lips, would you still feel this way?
