Excuse me, I was just having a flashback

I just had a flashback. One of those weird ones.

I remember being in... 5th or 6th grade and one adult was having a conversation with another adult. I was right there in the conversation for some reason. What I remember the most is that I tried to insert my opinion and they both just stared at me with that "you're a child and you don't know anything" look. Then they went back to talking.

I feel like this may have impacted me life somehow... I am almost 21... do you think I'm at that age when people will take my comments seriously? Am I there yet? I don't think so. I feel like people will still shake their heads and think, "she's so young, she doesn't know."

Perhaps I don't, but being listened to by older people would be nice every now and then.
