I still think of myself as too young to be taken seriously, sometimes. And I know that the same thing made me insane when I was much, much younger.
I think perhaps it has to do with being above average intelligence-wise--wish I could put it in a less full-of-myself way, but I'm talking about you as well so maybe that gives me a pass. With being underestimated because the default assumption is that you are only as worthwhile as the next teen, and then being doubly annoyed because you can see that the next teen has something to offer too, if anyone would give them the time and space to articulate it.
And at this point I'm not sure this comment makes sense. Anyway, yeah. And I want you in my community, 'cause you're sharp.
