alas it's that time of year

[TheCenturion]

I have just turned 17. But for the most part, this is not a joyous occasion. For you see, a rather saddening truth has dawned upon me: I'm getting older.

I want to remain a child! It feels not too long that I was a boy of about 15 unable to understand why life was flying by so quickly. Now over the last few months I've felt like I have one foot in the grave. This may seem rud e and inconsiderate to the members older than myself on here, but I would not like it to be viewed as such. Besides, I imagine my best years in life are ahead of me.

So... Er happy birthday to everyone else etc etc

Also: worst "it's my birthday" thread ever.

17... you realised I was swiftly put in my place on here for saying I was worried about being 24?

Happy birthday though!

To be honest, every year goes by and I think what a noob I was the year before. Life is a journey to learn things and at 17 boy do you have a lot to learn!

17 was the best year for me So enjoy it!

Too young to be punished but old enough to pass for 18

 

[rotters]

im 33 and im not "old" yet, your just a kid sorry for the "truth".

 

[OriginalJonty]

17?

You're not even an adult yet.

 

[LeJosh]

I'm 20 in July. We're still kids!

 

[DailyGeek]

You were born the year I started secondary school.

Happy birthday. I'm glad you realise how good being young is, not that I'm particularly old. Lots of people I talk to on my sisters year (she's 17) say how they just want to grow up and get a job.

^This, Enjoy it while you can because the next thing you know you'll be 21, and it's all crap after 21.

Dont worry, its actually totally cool, because life doesnt change hugely - but you end up getting loads more money, can buy cars, and girls become more interesting.

I can't even remember being 17. I was probably an insufferable little ***** though

 

[The Badger]

Happy Birthday

 

[Ahleckz]

I've been trying to pretend I'm still a child. It's great, and I'm 22 without a responsibility in the World.

 

[Vonhelmet]

17?

I was pretty miserable when I was 17.

Then I moved schools and got a girlfriend and had just shy of two pretty good years.

 

[Trusty]

17? Your joking right? Your a child mate.

 

[trigger-happy]

grats on turning 17. What your doing on here? Exams are in this month and the next!

 

[PermaBanned]

I just came to that realization too, but rather than being scared about it i can't wait. I don't have too many really good childhood memories, and i've lived more in these past few years than i have my whole life. Take every day as it comes, the only thing you can do in life that will ever mean anything is to be happy, and to do your best to help others do the same. If ever you're not happy, it's time to make a change.

Happy birthday, good luck on your next trip around the sun!
