I also had a problem going to AA at first because most of the people there were twice my age and had lost things (family, house, career) that I'd never even had. Once I found Young Peoples' AA, I began to feel like I fit in somewhere, and since regularly going to YPAA meetings, have become more comfortable going to regular meetings where I'm one of the youngest people in the room. Ultimately what it comes down to is that you can't look at the differences - you have to look at the similarities in your stories.
