To be annoyed by stereotyping young people?

I know age stereotyping happens to all age groups but I still find it really annoying when people make assumptions of tell me I 'should' be doing things because I'm in my early 20s.

Apparently, for example, I 'should' be going out and getting ridiculously drunk until the early hours every weekend. According to some people anyway.

Apparently I'm also too young to be married or to want to start a family.

Sorry for the grumble over a minor annoyance but I've just come off a night shift so I'm tired and excessively grumpy!

YANBU

I also dislike the automatic assumption in the collective conscious that all teenagers are would-be or certain anti-social petty criminals.
