Do not let anybody look down on you because you are young. Lead by example.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever done?
I was in college with friends and we were all actors and we decided to so some guerrilla theatre in the middle of the mall. We suddenly had this emotionally wild moment and we broke into this fight about how could you leave me, and all that. It was really so crazy and people got such a shock and that was cool.
