What is the rudest way someone has ever used your age against you?

One day in High School way back when there was this very anti gun teacher.

One day, she messed up and said some false statistics. Thinking it was a mistake, I refuted them and presented the actual math. She got mad and kept pushing her anti-gun agenda, and after refuting all her claims, she got mad and told me to stop.

“Why should I stop, Ma’am?”

“Because you’re only 15 and have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“But I have here *pulls out some statistics* facts, Ma’am!”

“You’re only 15 years old. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Now shut up or you get detention.”

And she refused to say anything further.

See, I was only 15 years old. So what if I said she was abusing her power just to shut me up cause she couldn’t refute her claims? It wouldn’t matter. Principal wouldn’t care. Her word is a thousand cause she’s a teacher and an adult, and I’m just some defiant kid who talked back in class. If she wanted to she could absolutely demonize me and make it look like I was being outright defiant, and I probably wouldn’t be able to refute that. After all, I was only 15, and I have no idea what I was talking about, right?
