I know you hate it when people say this... but I have to.. and I don't mean any thing insulting by it....
There's a big difference between being called a girl at age 19 -- though you really arent a girl anymore, you are out on your own so you should be referring to yourself as a young woman.. give yourself the respect you are earning. BUT to be called a girl at my age... a lifetime of experience is being taken away from me and it's demeaning. I am not a girl, no one should be mistaking me for a girl. I don't act like a girl, don't call me a girl.
Maybe you won't feel different when you are older, maybe you will...
Words have meaning. Words have power. It's not just a word.
