This high-tech medium has been created for human use and it is normal that we try and reproduce what we have learned all our lives, simply being humans and naturally curious about the others we are dealing with. Age is then a way to relate to the person we are communicating with. The problem is, all of these good thoughts cannot always be applied to Cyberspace and some adults still believe the net is another video game they people have given us, youngsters. Then the judgment is altered, the consideration given is not based on self-worth, actions and accomplishments, but simply on age. As if greatness can not be achieved by people who are not legally aloud to drive or vote, as if it really was some issue of importance.
Tags can be hard to get rid of and injustice is an integral part of our lives.
Age shouldn't be a limit to our achievements but a promising stepping stone showing how much we have accomplished so far and how much more we will be able to accomplish in the future. Not being taken seriously is hard for anyone, despite their age, race or gender. When youth is involved, the problem is even harder to overcome. The youngster loses his will to fight, put down by elders who do not want his modest contribution and aren't ready to listen. Youth and Cyberspace are intimately related.
