Why is it

Age. Its just a number, a number that represents how many years you have been alive, or actually, alive outside your mothers wound. So why is it that number is so important. Why is it that it determines whether you can do certain things. You cant get a permit till you are 15, you cant get a job till 16(usually), you cant get your license till your 16, your not considered an "adult" until your 18, you cant drink until your 21, and so on and so forth. Why is that the way it is? Age isnt anything. You think cause im 16 i can drive. Just look at all the wrecks there are from 16 year olds. No, don't raise the age, what good does that do. Look at all the stupid, drunk, mad, old people that think they are so clever, cause they have so much wisdom, that they can squeeze there way through a traffic jam. What happens next. BOOM, car accident. Age doesn't tell anything. I hate to brag about my self, and you can ask any one that, but i work harder than most the people i see working. Example, my mom and dads work. The people there dont give a crap, all they want to do is see that check at the end of the week. They don't care if the place closes, they just want that dang money. So why does the Government say a 14 year old cant work, or drive. Cause of wisdom? Heck, the new generation is a heck of a lot smarter than the old from what i have seen. For 2007 years(if you don't count the B.C. years) this earth has been living, and look how wise we are. Humans have been alive for thousands of years, and what do we have to show. pollution, land fills of garbage, killing, stealing, drugs, so many other things. If the world where to end tomorrow, and god where to come down, and see what we have done(well he already sees, but you get what im saying), do you think he would be happy. He created this earth for us to live, and to live knowing our sins are gone, in yet our past generations have screwed it up for the new. Now, we are stuck with what you have done, and we have to make do with it. We have to correct you errors, while trying to correct our own. So is age really showing wisdom. Cause the way i see it, it doesn't. It is just another number in a math equation. The one big dream, that i have not ever let go of yet, nor have i told any one till now, is that i want to do something, something to change the world, or at least make an impact on people. In order to change the world thought, it takes one random act of kindness at a time. Giving money to some one who is on the side of the streets some money, that is kindness. Don't think about what they are going to do with it, its not your business, just do it. Giving some one a ride some where cause they don't have a car, or sheltering some one cause they don't have a home, don't think about it, just do it. Wow i have really gone of track this time huh. from age to this. Any way, i have made my point, not that it will matter to any of you though. Im just a 14 year old, what can i do, what do i know? Well just you wait, just you wait and see, this new generation might just surprise you. Maybe, just maybe, we can correct some of your wrong doings. And for those you are in the older generation who are correcting them to, thank you, at least your age is showing your wisdom.
