How do you feel about the term "senior citizen?"
How do you feel about the term or label "senior citizen?" When does someone become a "senior?" 55? 60? 62? 65?

Do you remember when the term "senior" or "senior citizen" was first coined? I don't think my Grandma would have liked being called a "senior." When did the "senior dicounts" start up? I don't remember...

I can accept a "senior citizen" label. I don't know when the expression started.

I don't like the term "senior citizen" at all...not for myself or others.

I don't view myself as a "senior citizen" because I interact with people of all ages and we all "mesh" together and relate and our ages don't really matter much.

It is not so much about how we view ourselves, but rather how others view us, as I see it. People like to categorize and group people together. For example, in biology, animals are grouped together that have similar characteristics. All humans are basically the same biologically, but we still group them anyway, by race, color, etc.
