Is it normal that i dont want to get old?

I mean i reallllyyy dont want to get old. I always knew i would die young anyways, but before i get too old im probably going to kill myself. retiring, for me, sounds like banishing myself to a lonely wrinkly world.

    I hate getting old so much that I want to destroy my pituitary gland or get a pituitary tuma so I can stay 20 forever. (Sorry I'm tired, so there's going to be bad spelling)

    Yeah look at Betty white and William Shatner. They are 89 and 79... they look great for being so old.... but that being said I don't have millions of dollars for plastic surgery so I don't want to get old

    I care about getting old. I actually got anti-aging cream because I started to notice laugh lines. I'm 18 and judging by my family member's faces, I will not age very gracefully.

  • Same here :/
    I visit my grandma often in a nursing home and it gives me the creeps to think I might end up in a home not knowing who I am. My grandma has days when she forgets grandpa died and even that her own parents died. One time I found her in tears because she thought everyone had died.

    I probably wouldn't kill myself though. I'd just be too scared.

    I think this mentality is a product of the American obsession with youth. In cultures where increasing age is seen as beautiful and wise, I doubt you'd feel that way. Try to rise above the youth obsession and enjoy each stage of life, no matter how your appearance changes. Age equals wisdom, if you learn from life!
