Writing challenge day 9

9) Your feelings on ageism.

I think that stereotyping anyone based on age, race, sex, religion so forth is wrong. There are many 80 year olds who enjoying going to work and are healthy enough and smart enough to keep doing it. There are 30 year olds who aren't. It is all about the individual. And this whole putting people in a box because of age or whatever it comes from both sides. There are older people who think I'm to old I can't do that. But if they try they will see they can. You are only as old as you feel you are. We each need to start respecting ourselves. Maybe then others will see us differently and treat us with more respect.
