Teens and Ageism

Here is a website I found and what I found most interesting about it was that every article on the website is written by teenagers. This particular one is about ageism and how teenagers are seen as untrustworthy and how the elderly are seen as incapbable. It gave a great example on how when teens walk into a store and leave without buying anything many people just assume that they stole something. I notice this a lot whenever I am in a store the people working there will always watch teens a little more closely. What was also great about this website is that the article itself counteracts the stereotype that teenagers opinions aren't really important many people don't even bother to listen to what they have to say. This article gives great insight into the topic of ageism and it was written by a teen.
