I guess. It just kindof sucks when you're younger, sometimes it feels like people are saying "Yeah, that's really cool...for a kid".

I really don't care that much, I was just curious if other people my age felt the same way.

I read it as "That's really cool ... and especially cool at such a young age". I'd say the age makes it a rarer and hence more newsworthy event.

I'm with you and do feel the same way for the most part. Just think that in this article specifically, it's in a good way.
