I'll be eighteen. I dislike the fact that eighteen means freedom because I have seen too much of what being younger than eighteen can do to imprison people in bad situations. And seeing all the incredibly smart minors here illustrates even more what a big laugh it is that the world thinks under eighteen = stupid and helpless. But I'm thankful that I myself am finally reaching this age.

More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.

This is the true joy in life; being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, and being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod.

Very good point. That may in fact be one of several reasons to why I like it so much here. There is a lot of bright young (and some not so youngOriginally Posted by zanna

The big 20, after a year of being 19 it’s quite a shock to the system. I can no longer be an irresponsible teen.

I grow old…I grow old…
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
