Do you think I will stop caring about ageism once I am older?

A big concern of mine is that I will no longer give a shit about ageism once I have reached a certain age. I am now legally an adult and I still care very much about it. But I worry that once I no longer have to worry about the ageism thrust upon me because I am young that I will no longer care to end it and educate people about it.

Have you ever cared about ageism? Keep in mind that ageism also affects the elderly and not just the younger crowd. What do you do about it?

For the most part, there isn’t really anything I can do. People have their assumptions and their stereotypes and their judgments based on age and there isn’t much I can do about. I always say that there are many things I have posted online that would’ve been taken much more seriously or respected more should I have lied about my age and pretended to be older. Can’t tell you how many times (even on this site) that I have been told my opinion doesn’t matter because of my age. But then I would just be caving into it if I lied. I think some people are bothered by the fact that someone less than half their age is on the internet conversing with them, breaking the lines of separation bestowed on all humans by arbitrary age numbers.

Either way, this is something I don’t want to stop caring about.
