I'll bring up a couple ways the young are discriminated against.
Legal age to drink. Dispite me being older than that, if you can make a decision to give your life to the military, legally hold a binding contract, or be put on trial as an adult for all crimes, you should be able to drink. The idea that tons of drunks will be walking around is a joke. People need experiance before they can cope with certain variables. Kids are already drinking at age 15 with high degree's of regularity. Punishing the young adults on the idea that it may increase public nuisence problems is wrong, and it's age discrimination.
College education expenses. You are NOT considered independant of your parents for college costs until you are 24 years old. Even though many 18 year olds do NOT receive support from their parents when they go off to college.
The president must be no less than 35 years of age. Now, in that particular aspect, the rule is in place to make sure the acting executive has a significant lifetime of experiance to deal with possible situations that arise, but it's still discrimination.
Driving offenses such as the revocation of your license until the age of 21 if you are under 21 and you are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol. Normally, it would be associated with a 30day suspension. Don't get me wrong, I want the drunk-*** people off the road, but the Police can virtually give you that ticket on a whim nowadays.
I could probably dig around more and bring some more up, since I'm nearly 24 most of it's out the window for me, but still.
