Thats a lame excuse. Im only 24, but myself and a bunch of teens scrounged up some money, made some cookies and sandwiches and took them to our inner city (not very inner but whatever) and we handed them out to whomever wanted. We got a great turnout and several homeless people at least had a decent snack.
Then, with the help of some adults who organized it, we got people to donate coats. We then took the coats to a similar spot and handed them out to any homeless or needy people who needed one for the winter.
You dont need to be 16, 18 or any number to help the human race. Simply making a PB&J sandwich with some chips and giving it to some random poor stranger on the streets is ALOT more than most people can say theyve done.
When you see homeless people in shock that you are giving them something free, thats when your heart sinks. Most of them asked us how much it cost several times. We answered "Free, take it!" several times before they believed us. That shows just how much most humans help others in need.
If you think your age has something to do with it, I dont think your heart is really in it.
