Over the weekend I caught a concert in which one of my old buddies that is still in high school was headlining. Having just graduated last year myself I still have a bunch of friends that were lower-classmen from my days in school, I hung out with them and had a good time catching up. It had crossed my mind a few times that aside from a few parents and people operating the venue that it was a purely high school scene and that I was a little out of place. I didn't give it too much more thought however, good music and good friends will remedy any social qualms. Yet something was still off about the crowd and as I payed more attention I became aware of this guy (who ended up being a couple years older than myself) who seemed a bit nervous. skiddish even, who would work his way methodically through the crowd shaking hands and introducing himself. I kept an eye on him all night and when it came my turn to bear the brunt of small talk I grilled him on who he was and what his story was and what he was all about. Needless to say he was sufficiently awkward, it turned out he was fairly new in town and seemed like he was just making friends. And perhaps in rash judgement on my own part I condemned him in my mind to be some monster or pedophile that was preying on these young kids (afterall Spokane is good for two things: Meth and Child Molesters).
Long story short I want to know your opinions on this, was that a fair accusation from my part? Or should I have given this guy the benefit of the doubt? And if this guy who was 25 was too old to watch a few high schoolers make some music then what age is the cut off? Going off that line, would my position be acceptable?
