Youth is not wasted on the young

I just realised that I'm slowly beginning to have some good friends who are younger than I am. A few years ago this would have been impossible, since I tended to fraternise with people who were older. This may not be such a nice thing to say but I never really had a high opinion of anyone my age or younger as I've always typecasted them as immature brats who were not very bright. My views have dramatically changed recently though, and now I find that younger people aren't that bad. In fact, there's a few of them who are actually quite sensible and act well beyond their years. I therefore resolve not to disparage younger people anymore, and I'll try hanging out with them more often now.
