I don’t know if you were offended by that comment, but just because you may not have considered your future in your teens (don’t know if you did or didn’t, but that doesn’t matter) doesn’t mean that all others also did not. For example in my teens I was very much concerned with what I’d do when i was older and whether or not I’d be able to buy a house or afford to go to college.. these are not strictly adult concerns. Also kids see and hear their parent(s) worrying about money or student loans or mortgage or rent and it’s not unreasonable that they too become concerned about those things.

But you are doing just the same thing by dismissing peoples perspectives and opinions as irrelevant….
- coldtea 4y ago>But you are doing just the same thing by dismissing peoples perspectives and opinions as irrelevant… Nope, he is not doing the same. He basically says "people shouldn't project their own (older age) concerns as universal". He doesn't say there are no universal social issues. So dismissing "peoples perspectives and opinions as irrelevant" is perfectly fine, if they are irrelevant to the group they're projected to.
