The Older Generation

Seriously, the audacity of some elders. They think that just because they are more advanced in years than some of us young people we must obey every whim they could possibly have. Now do not get the wrong thing from what I am saying. Old people are not evil, at least not all, but the ones I am talking (and you know who they are) really give the older community a bad name, the old guy who yells at you to get the h-ll off his lawn, or the old lady that always seems to have her nose in everything. Truly though, I am nearly, well, I am eighteen as of March 22, and they elderly people I associate with still treat me just as they had two years ago. Now you can understand my frustation at this. If they want me to be a mature responsible adult then why the heck are they still treating me like an immature adolecent???
This question has baffled me and likely will until I am myself an elder, but what can we do about it?
