well, i feel that way sometimes. it's a fear of the unknown mostly. i am fiercely independent and very active, so i fear that when i get older, i wont be able to take care of myself or do all the crazy things i like to do now.
-
I'm scared of getting old. I'd rather not be so serious when I get older. I'd like to enjoy life and not be old and messy. I'm also fearing what will happen to my appearance and what will happen when I get older.

Young people don't realize how fast and short life really is! Wait till they see their 30's peeping from the corner! :)
-
Because they haven't learned to value life and what it can mean.

Actually, young people waste too much time worrying about getting old. No one really ever gets old, because "old" is always about people who are older than you. Your young co-worker is rude. She needs to be careful about what she wishes for, and you need to stop using your age as reasonable grounds for making a simple mistake. Apologize for your oversight, if it's called for. Never apologize for your age or the skin you're in.

I intend on growing really old, at least 90.
-
Young and in my prime, definitely.
-
Hey! When you get old, you can get away with all kinds of shit. Ahh, poor old man, my ass.
-
I'll go you one better. I wish I had never been born.
-
I don't want to be decrepit or anything but I would like to live a full life. At least have grandchildren or something.
-
I would just as soon die before I am frail .... OMG; I'm almost there ...

Growing old is part of life, and if I am lucky, I'll also get to experience it. We start out frail, so I don't think being frail is a reason to wish an end to life. Extreme suffering (e.g., due to a painful illness) is a different thing altogether. Personally, I like a balance of ages, and I feel old and young, frail as they might be, continuously contribute to my life in direct and subtle ways. I often wish our society was more open to the perspective of older folks, the richness that their experience can bring us.
