Close, but no cigar!

My birthday is the 15th of November, and I'll be turning 18.

I'm 20 and I feel old, probably because most of my friends are at least a couple years younger than me. Also because, looking back on 2 whole decades, I don't feel like I've acomplished much.

If you're not the youngest, it's pretty close. :) Welcome to lit net, Saphira/Niki. I hope you will enjoy our discussions on literature. Feel free to join in or play some of our games.

15 in March. I'm kind of scared about getting older. I can't believe I am this old, it's all gone by so fast.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this then, but she sad and sorry truth is that the years will keep moving on faster and faster... There is a reason for this, of course. See below.

That, my friends, is only natural: It is a lot seen from your perspective. For you, 15 years is the equivalent of your entire lives, right? For me, alas, it represents less than a third of my entire life thus far... It is all about the perspective.

A suggestion, if I may be so bold: Do not measure your lives by your count of past birthdays. That can never be much more than a countdown to the inevitable end. Look at what you experience instead, and enjoy it to the best of your ability.

Agreed. I felt pretty smart at 15.

Then I turned 16. :( At that age, more often than not, retrospect comes with a healthy dose of :brickwalling.

Ah, 15. That was a good age. That was the year before I ruined everything by turning 16, lol.

I was in disbelief when I turned 20. I turn 21 next month and I'm more comfortable with it now...

I'll be turning 18 in June and am terrified :eek2: :eek2: :eek: - I barely feel 17 yet! On top of that, I'll be leaving school, going to university and leaving home! *stifles scream*

Very wisely put Claes. It just feels like I am so ignorant sometimes, maybe because of where I live :p

As I said before, age is a relative thing. An interesting comparison: This thread actually inspired me to start a similar thread in another forum: One that has to do with my work... The age distribution is a bit different over there - See the attachment.

I am finally reaching the average age there (they still call me a young pup :lol: ), while I seem to be among the oldest geezers here... :goof:

Looks like I'm falling out of the majority this year. (But it will hardly matter, as there's only one week left in the year after I turn 20!)

Hi everyone, I'm 21 and I feel very old, my hair is also thinning out on top which I guess is pretty bad for my age.

Yeah I got that, two years later though around the age of 18. thats when it kicks in that your youth is over.

I've gotten over growing older now though, as you ultimately can't do anything about it there's no use in worrying about it.

It's a shame. I'm finally getting the chance to be a young person, and people have now started telling me that I need to act more mature... I can't win. Although, to be fair, I am the youngest in my year, so I should be allowed to act younger than the rest of the. And I intend to make the most of my 16-ness.

Yeah, after the second hundred it all gets a bit repetitive though... Y'know, same old, same old!

Well... There are only four of you in the 10 - 14 bracket, so you are definitely close. Saphira is 11 yo, but I don't know about the other two?
