I am not afraid of getting old. LOL When we were children we got pampered by our parents, and when we get old we'll be pampered too. LOL But even though I'm not afraid of getting old, I have no plans of rushing towards it. I plan to enjoy my life as slow paced as it is far from getting old. I always say that its the journey in life that which is important. :)

Our body is telling us that we have existed on earth for some time. For me, I am asking myself what have I shared to mother earth that nature and people can count me in! Old age is good, it simply tells us, another generation is coming. . . What we shall do is to make our brother body not to get sick because our resistance is very far now as compared to younger age. . . Let's enjoy life while we still breath. . .!

Yes, it is something we have to go through , and just wish for the best .I think what scares me the most is the getting sick and slowing down part . I have watched too many people I love suffer . The only part I am looking forward to is getting married and having kids, and then seeing them have kids . If only life was little kinder wouldnt worry as much .

I think you have to be very brave and positive minded. It is full of changes and many of them involve pain. You have to learn to adapt as your body goes through these changes.It also intensifys as the age increases so it is a constant series of changes.Try to keep a great sense of humor because you will need it !

I'm not afraid of getting old by itself as we have no control over it. I am afraid of not getting to experiance certain things before I get to old to enjoy them. Cheers, Tianna

I'm only 17 but I feel old already. I still want to be treated like a kid. I know that many kids get sick of it but... it seems so hard for me. Everytime I buy something I have to think if it's too childish for a girl of my age(my friends often make jokes about that). I feel terrible when someone tell me to "grow up" and stop acting like a child. OMG, I miss the old days

Hai Lynnchua, nice to meet yu, here it is my opinion about getting old, Althought basicly is oke but that is a little afraid feeling on me. I am afraid if I lost my health in my old life that make me so hang down on another, I am afraid to be senile, fussy and resentfuly for everyone. Theoryticaly to prevent that maybe happen in our old life, we must take care of our health, training brain, patient, always positive, and another way. I want to and try to do that completely but that is so hard.... One thing that always I do that never forget when praying is ask to God to give me good health and good wisdom in my old life and i ask too for both my parents and my brother, family and my friends.. Ok that is Lynn, see ya..

well talking about getting old it is a very baffling phenomena about which no one actually knows exactly. a lot of research has gone into the process of getting old and the following theories were proposed:- 1) programmed theory of getting old- in this the genetic code contains the entire information required for aging 2) wear and tear theory:- wherein the tissues wear and tear with time and get old 3)sudden catastrophic disease 4) any kind of prolonged illness 5) step by step reduction theory so although it is a natural phenomena to age but people still think tat aging is actually caused by a disese which has engulfed all mankind ever since on earth. its a disease evn dangerous than AIDS. who knows the scientists may also be true!

I'm getting old, and you may think I am old, but for me it's a good experience. I have had some great adventures and some hard times in the past but everything that has happened in my life so far has brought me to where I am today and I look forward to wherever the future may take me. I love life so age does not come into it. Life goes on getting better, and I'm healthier and happier than when I was younger. Life is what we all have to get through and getting old is nothing to fear.

Well getting older means you're getting better! It's just one of the stages we go through in life. I'm getting older now but I do believe as they say that I'm getting wiser. And that only comes with age. I have learned many things throughout the years. I have had fun, I had suffered but I am still enjoying my life and I intended to continue enjoying my life for as long as I can. As long as I stay in good health all things are possible.

When i was younger, I don't want to get old. I wanted to take a plunge in the fountain of youth to be young forever, but i know that would be impossible. i've realized that life is ephemeral. Getting old is a process we have to go through. I have accepted the fact that i would experience that stage, and i have learned to value every moment of my life-- to enjoy while i am young.
