Respect Under 25! - ProfilesArchive

About Me

This profile is set up to discuss the issues of discrimination and disrespect to people under the age of 25. Discrimination happens to anyone but there doesn't seem to be many profiles on MySpace set up for younger person discrimination, which is odd considering functions like MySpace are STEREOTYPICALLY used by younger people.This profile is not designed to discriminate people over 25 or imply that people over 25 are old as many will think. The reason for under 25 being the target age is that as someone who is under 25,I feel ignored by society.Sometimes put down.That's not to say young people are the only ones who feel short changed or that anyone over 25 is "old". I would be surprised if there weren't any ageism profiles aimed at issues for people over 25. Discussion is open to those of all ages, providing they are old enough to use MySpace.This profile is made by a citizen of England,UK so most of the items brought up will be UK based but that doesn't mean issues from other counries can't be brought up.The more the merrier.Every so often I will post a blog. Sometimes it will contain a news article relating to some kind of discrimination towards people under 25. Maybe even a rant from myself. If you have anything relating to this topic that you have found,please message it to me and I will post it as a blog.Feel free to subscribe to my blogs,that way you get told each time a new blog arrives. If possible, please leave a blog/bulletin on your own page just to let others know of this profile.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Open minded people. People who can discuss things rationally. People who can discuss things at all. I don't like people who add themselves and never talk.
