That's one of the most absurd things I've read on DU. Being young doesn't equal being smarter than everyone else - actually, 99.9% of the time, it's just the opposite.
As for the one particular situation with your grandmother (you'll soon learn not to assume everything is the same for everyone), it sounds as if it wasn't handled well by the people managing that voting station. Yes, she said something that she shouldn't have because it was acceptable once and she just hadn't replaced the word in her personal vocabulary (just wait, you'll do lots of that soon too) but she also meant no harm by it and it was an innocent mistake. It's a shame that her time and input wasn't more valued and someone didn't explain the situation to her properly, letting her know that she may have made a mistake but that certainly didn't mean her volunteer days were over.
And, as for looking down your nose those who are older, you'll change your mind as soon as your not the youngest kid around anymore (and that will come before you know it). You'll realize how silly your opinions and prejudices were - it's a shame you have them now, but luckily for all of us, they won't last.
