Are you afraid of getting old?

I am

I don't want to be a 100 year old vegstable just laying around in a nursing home

Sort of...I'd like to stay as young as I am now for the rest of my life, but its just not in the cards...when I decide I have nothing left to live for, I'll probably just spend the rest of my money on a lot of drugs and OD myself, I'm going out with a bang.

Yes, and I won't get old. Don't ask why.steppinrazor88

What if I already know why?...

In the end...there can only be one!

lawlz Whenever I hear that, I think of the Robot Chicken parody instead of the original movie :P

thought of getting old doesnt really scare me.

but death does but i suppose if i grow up to be old i might actually wanna die.

No, I cant wait till I am retired rich and doing nothing, but then again I will only be 30 when I retire :P

I am. I won't be able to play sports anymore, getting sick all the time, increased chance of injury... oh and the smell! Do you know what I'm talking about? Old people have this weird smell about them, and it makes me sick!shufu7-11

go and watch the old people and think of the day you'll become one...thats sucks really bad but it is the truth we should get on with

I do not want to be old.

I don't want to see the next generation of kids and teens, it's going to be hell.

I hate seeing old people because I picture myself turning into one. Being all old, with my pants up high, glasses on, back all out of wack, pain in all my joints, always tired and slow. UGH I HATE IT. NEVER GET OLD PEOPLE!! NEVERRR!

Most of you will radicaly change your views on this at some point of your life, guaranteed!

I'm just recovering from a brain surgery myself, removing a tumor and such fancy things. Something like this will give you a totally different view on this issue. (a lot of things can do this, losing a loved one, an accident and so on)

I've meet people with highly aggressive types of cancer that are incredibly lucky if they're still alive a year from now. Much of them have shown me more willingness to live than this thread as a whole. I can't find words to describe how much respect I feel for this people, seriously.

I once was exactly the same, "I won't get older than 30 anyway" and so on. But once your confronted with the very real possibility that you lose your life, you'll rethink a lot about how you live it and start to embrace it much much more.

To finish this: No, Im not afraid of getting old. To the contrary, I welcome every day of my life and try to thread it as a wonderful gift.

Maybe you should too.
