The only reason I say this is that because of a few idiots, anyone under the age of 21 seems to be just basically stereotyped into being a lairy alcoholic thug. Perhaps I'm stereotyping in that assumption. But it's from my own personal experience I suppose.

What annoys me is that people who know me well say I'm a kind, courteous, polite young man. But because of the area in which I live for example people take one look at me because of my age (when I've asked why they've said it's because of this simple reason) and cross the street to avoid me. This isn't fair: I can't say I blame them in particular; the streets in Manchester could be described as lawless but I can't say I'm happy with the idea of being tarred with the same brush as say a 14 year old underaged-drinking hoodie.

Well I guess I'm just after some opinion on the subject.
