Alot of people are. Usually when you get older, you are ready to die and you are vulnerable to alot of things. Like, heart diseases. Me, of course of afraid of getting old! If i'm older, i can't play sports or do anything but sit around all day waiting to die! I am one of the millions out there that is afraid of getting old, no offense to older Mylot users. Are you afraid of getting old? Why?

I am not sure where you get your ideas about growing older but you seem to suffer from some misconceptions. Older folks play sports, in some cases, a lot more than younger people. I played hockey well into my 40s. I fish, I curl (Canadian sport not likely found in Florida), I garden (you want a real workout, hit the garden). Moreover you gain a greater control of your life as you age. At 16 you really haven't done anything on your own yet. Age gives you far greater buying power allowing you to experience far more than you can dream of now. At 47 I wouldn't go back to 16 for any amount of money, there is no comparison for me.
In any case, there is nothing you can do about aging, so why worry about it?
