I Wonder Why Some People Are So Rude

I've noticed a trend on EP (and hopefully you don't all get bent out of shape). I think there's a large percentage of adults on here who just assume that all teenagers are stupid and have nothing of merit to say. That's fine, who am I to dictate what you should think? What really interests me is when an adult (who you would assume is mature) unnecessarily attacks a teenager on a post they made. This has actually happened to me a few times recently and I'm not really bothered by it but I do find it interesting (and quite honestly, fun). What what I've been told in the past week from adults on here is...
1. What I think doesn't matter because I'm only 14 (although he did flatter me and call me 15) :)
2. I'm the most annoying person another guy has ever met (although he actually never met me. It came about because I asked the question 'Who is the most annoying person you ever met and why?' and his answer was 'tou' *translation for those of you who can spell*...'you'). This led directly into my next point...
3. I'm stupid for caring about spelling and grammar. I guess I should start using txt spk! :)
4. Apparently, 117 lbs for a 14 year old is 'overweight' so I need to start dieting.
5. I am smug, a prick, have self esteem issues, a cretin, and 'little miss perfect.'
6. I have no business responding to rude comments on the posts I make...(that's what makes me a prick apparently).
So thank you adults for paving the way for us teenagers. The world is a brighter place with you in it.

In any form of social media you always get people who seem to get their jolly's either being antagonistic or just plain stupid.
They're out there! Of all ages!
I always find the best response is just to say thank you for your input, if only you had something of value to say.!
It also makes me laugh how so many talk of blocking people! Like it's something they deliberately set out to do!!
Every viewpoint is valid. Provided it comes from experience!
After all. That's what this site is supposed to be all about!
