While in your teens did you see your current age as old?

53 did seem old to me then. Sometimes feel old when I see someone in their 30 and realize that I am old enough to be their father.

When I was 19, I was in the bar and would always notice this creepy old man checking out all the young girls. I was out with my (now ex) husband a few years ago and I realized he was the creepy old man sitting at the bar! Lol

There's just something not fair here. First, I was a creepy kid, then I was a creepy young man. Now I'm a creepy old man.

Come on!! How does a guy get a break??

You Bet!!! But then, I recall having more respect for those who were my
current age group.....some were, some were not.
I fear that nowadays..there are those in our current age group who
tend to be very insecure and loud...spewing hate whenever there is a
camera or an audience. {Present company excluded}
P.S. Remember to Vote.
Despite what the HATERS say...your VOTE Does Count!

This is every generation...and I feel a little badly for the millenials more than I do for our generation anyway...things that were affordable and reasonable 20-30yrs ago are almost totally out of reach today. Wages are basically the same but costs of living have increased not to mention "extras" like private school/college are astronomical.
They get to bitch a little because we fucked it up for them

I remember when I was a little girl,my mom used to said, by year 2000 you will be 29!! for me that was way to far!!! well today is 2018 and that was fast!!!

Welcome to life....

Yep. Truth be told, I never expected to make it much past 50. At 65, I can't tell how old anyone under 40 is.

When I was a teenager i thought people in their 30's were old and that people my age (pushing 70) was prehistoric

1

NO! I saw it as ancient ... like how old trees are.

I could never imagine being as old as I am now. ( I'll be 72 in December). I thought my grandma was incredibly old, but she was in her 40s when I was little. I would be thrilled if I could go back to my 40s now. When I was a teenager, I wondered if I would live long enough to see the year 2000. It seemed very impossible to live thG long. I was 54 in 2000. It doesn't seem old at all now.

Very much so...

Seventy-five....can only remember my teens when I'm dreaming that I'm still in my forties dreaming of when I walked around with an erection all day....seldom want to wake up..

Yes, and I kind of still do.

Hell I see it as old now, but do I feel old...not really and yes I did see.my age as old when I was in my teens

1

Well ... I am 64 ... so my teens ended long ago. My parents became grandparents in their mid 40s,; which was the norm. Some people at my current age were already great-grandparents. My own grandparents were my current age when I was a teen. People above the age of 60 were not just old, they were very old indeed.

Honestly I didn't see any other age then. That's good though something to think about I thought the other night about while living in my parents house the rules I broke got bigger and more casual until I was casually rolling my own cigarettes standing under the car port smoking paranoid like it was nothing...I wouldn't understand an adult because I have no kids and don't care about anyone else's

Yes ...I thought my current age [76 years] was old when I was a teenager. But now it doesn't seem old. I am in great health and feel terrific. I still have all my hair and it is still not all gray. I'm 5' 10'' tall ..165 lbs and I think I look great.

Not just old, but ancient.

I did not expected to reach 60 to tell you the truth. I remember wondering what we were going to do at 40 to get pussy? The answer was... prostitutes(according us 13-14 year olds). Well... so ignorant of me... I got more poontang on my 40's than any other decade. After that... does not mattered how old I was going to get. 40's were the bomb. 50's were glory days after the battle was over. On my 60's I am resting to charge again on my 70's.

I never thought I'd make it to 18, let alone my age now. So absolutely!

1

For sure. When I was a teenager anyone over 40 seemed old to me

0

I'm continually amazed at how "young" my parents actually were.

1

Yes. Positively ancient!

1

I don't think so. I think I always thought old was like 70s-90s when bodies start to most noticeably seem to atrophy.

1

Eh, not really. I'd say old is when someone reaches 70.

I can remember my mamaw's 38th birthday, I was 8. When I was a teenager she seemed ancient, but she was only in her 40's. Now, here I am with a son that's the same age that I was when my grandmother was the age I am now and I realize age is what you make of it. She acted old, so she was. I don't, so I'm not.
