Tyler and KB
Don't let being labeled get ya down I will share stories with you over time of how I have shot down even the wisest of "adults" who think a certain way.
I too am in your age bracket and to many times i've been frowned upon but as soon as i speak people soon figure it out that it's not an age problem but a respect in general that lacks in our society. By the way got my first brat today but not without injury to me (that's not uncommon though).
