But I put the shoe on my foot, so at the age of 22, I'm supposedly past it?
Despite being stuck in university, having "girl issues," still living at home, mucking around with Pokemon and worrying about grades and whether "I'm in or not, or should I care?" I'm supposedly 'a war vet who doesn't remember when he was 17?'
BTW, I'm not cussing, seriously. I do get your gist actually. I think sometimes "the word of experience is daunting", but let's put it this way, you're allowed to ask about your school life, your night life, your sex life, your camp life (if you're into that sort of thing), and no one's going to hold it against you, because you're younger (you posted it here), you've got a chance to go through some of this crap with a little help.
Anyway, if you don't want the opinion of an oldie, don't acknowledge it, it's harsh, but that simple, I think.
Ultimately, Mark has say on this sort of thing.
