Little value is placed on them because society worships youth while demeaning those who have it (one of the great truths of the world that no one but me will admit is that age is wasted on the old). Will you, then, contribute to that, or will you turn your back on social expectations and appreciate age? Will you go further, and appreciate the elderly? It's not so simple as most people think.
And how can you struggle to understand your own age? Time passes as it always has: one year per year.

I used to work in a nursing home, and afterward I became a caregiver for the elderly specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia.
The greatest horror of nursing homes lies in the total neglect of the elderly by their own families. Visits are few and far between, and when they DO happen, the residents feel such abject gratitude and joy that it makes the absences SO much harder to bear.
