Don't Be Looked Down Upon Because You're Young

Upon having to choose a favorite bible verse, I would choose 1 Timothy 4:12, due to the fact it applies to life, religious or not. It reads, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity." I liked this verse because it's something I can apply to my life right now. A lot of the time adults think of younger people as less intelligent in all aspects, which isn't always completely true. Sometimes they don't take anything into consideration if said by a younger person because they assume that their level of intelligence and/or morals are far beyond theirs. In this scenario, instead of feeling looked down upon the younger person should instead set an example and prove them incorrect. The older person's perspective can be completely changed by just the reaction of what the person being looked down on does. Their reaction can effect them in a positive way and giving them a new view on whatever they were looking down on them for.
