Ageism. Ageism is very stubborn and will likely persist for a
   long time to come. You didn't ask to be born (although maybe you
   did). You didn't ask to be born when you were born (although
   maybe you did). And yet we're held responsible for being an age
   we didn't ask to be. I didn't like being discriminated against
   at any point in my life but I especially hated seeing it being
   done to others. Too old, too young, "Aw kids today they don't
   know..." "Aw old people don't understand".. Ageism in all of its
   forms, social, legal, it bothers me tremendously. I suppose a
   more root issue is not allowing someone to speak for themselves,
   not allowing them their own voice and opinion. But ageism stands
   out for me and always has.
