Funny story from today:
Walked into an interview for a 135 operation, guy looks at me, back at my resume, and then back at me and says "There's no way in hell you have these ratings and hours at your age. I wouldn't hire you simply because of your age." I grabbed my phone and walked straight out. Struggles of being young right?
I got the same thing at your age, regularly. By the time I was your age, I'd been flying commercially for a year, spraying crops, as well as flying jumpers, turning wrenches, etc.
You'll run into it over and over, and it's not uncommon. I lost track of the number of passengers in the early years who asked to see my driver license, to verify my age.
You'll get used to it.
