super's rants: Age Privileges
Hello everyone. While many of you consider rage to be clíched, I figured I'd do something like the sort, but with everyday things we run into. Let me know if I should continue or not. Thanks.
Issue #1: Age Privileges
I was trying out for a play today. It was for my school, and I was the only freshman boy there. After I finished my try outs, the person trying us all out called me back to speak with him. He then told me how he thought I was one of the most gifted and talented people he'd seen, but I probably wouldn't get a part. Upon asking why, he replied, and I quote, "Seniors always will get the part first, regardless of talent or interest." As you can guess, I was angry as shit. Just because a person is older, doesn't mean they automatically get the slot on everything. If you're barely interested, or are not into the role, but still a senior, shouldn't warrant you getting what you want because you're older. I mean hell, imagine if that was how we ran everything. If that was the case, JFK and other people of the sort would never have been in the picture. I can understand that they've been through more, and that it is their last years there, but my God, give younger people a chance. If by person is older, but isn't invested in their role, the play will bomb, and bomb hard. And I've seen this happen to other people too. This isn't just my anger; this is the anger of several other people who tried out and won't get parts, either. Why? Because they're young. It's just wrong.
This concludes my first rant. I hope you all can see my view. Leave a comment saying if I should continue or not, and leave a like if you enjoyed. Thank you all for reading.
