"Bro"
"Dude"
"Buddy"

It's no wonder I have no friends my age.

Fag.....it's a stupid word.

I hate when my sisters call me Chris, and I start calling them boy names until they stop.

Personally, I really loathe ageism, always have. It has been used against me and others I care about so often that it just sickens me.

I dislike it when age is brought up for any non-scientific reason. It has no place in common English usage. It is used to discriminate based on nothing that matters.

Young does not mean stupid, old does not mean out-of-touch. Teenager doesn't mean rebellious. Toddler doesn't mean tantruming. All these stereotypes are worthless and should never be used.

I stopped celebrating my birthday at age 13, as I found the whole idea of the way age is used to be offensive. I go years without knowing how old I am, it's much nicer that way.

The birthday present I have requested from everyone that knows me, is to not mention my birthday to me.

I don't like "proper", I don't why, I just don't.
