aches & pains
memory goes to pot
never have time to do things you want to do
people look at you like your not cool anymore when you do things you do enjoy like listening to the music you enjoy.
all your friends are gone..... either moved away or died off.
don't even remember what it is that you enjoy to do anymore.
main thing you get to look forward to is taking a nap:eek13:
can't remember how old you are half the time.
oh, and the list goes on, don't rush to grow up too fast.
is there anything about being your age that you like??????????

[shaberry]

I can drink alcohol legally! That's the only plus. Oh...and stay out late without curfew. Some places in Cali have curfew...so if you're not 18+ you can't stay out past 10pm.

Do you mean that is an actually a law? I don't think so, I live in Cali, and I have never been busted or anything before...

[boredomlover93]

you also cant hear, see, walk, go to the toilet, eat, taste, move and a whole heap more. ive spent hours in nursing homes. the really bad ones.

[shaberry]

The law in california is that if you're under 21...you can't drink or buy alcohol. However...that's not to say you can't drink alcohol at home or anything. Dood...I started drinking when I was 11. I'm just implying that I can drink and buy alcohol without getting introuble.

[Pipp-ORK]

I'd rather be an infant.

Diapers > yes.

[Pie <3]

I love being 15.

Who wants to be an immature brat the rest of their life?

[>BANKAI RIROU<]

[Lucki]

I LOVE MY AGE!!
parties and fun!! WOOOT!! all ages are fun if you don't take life to seriously. >.> which of course would never happen. but it is fun to think that way once in a while!! but then you always end up in crappy situations and what not!! but then why not enjoy life with no fear of consequence, as you could get hit by a bus tomorrow (why i always wear matching undies =D)
rambling! woops. i love my age because i love being young and running around with out wheezing, although smoking does make that a load of bull!!
well i can't think of all the stuff i can do right now! but there is a lot!!!

[..::Mr 999::..]

p love this live so i just party..praty....and party... never think will growing become older suck

[Munky]

hmm.. if you've noticed.. old people say growing older sux but young people say that it rocks,.. so it actually depends

[Kenta]

damn, tell me about it, i'm slowly approaching 30 and i wish i can roll back time to when i was just in high school.

[Twinky]

Growing older? or Growing old, theres 2 differents, growing older as in drink and get laid legally or growing old as in having a cane and walk 2 steps every minutes, or in a wheel chair. i pick the first one

[deto]

hell, if rambo can still kick ass with 61 i'm not afraid getting old :D

[Harley Quinn]

I'm actually looking forward to getting old, can get up to all sorts of mischief.Like farting and falling asleep before anyone can say anything about it.

[Kyoko<3!]

Growing older sux. K I want to be 12 again.

[Waverly]

I much prefer the amount of freedom (and responsibility) that I have now versus high school. I like growing up, but I'm scared to death to turn 30 (even though I have 10 years for that to happen.) I'd like to stay young (but not a kid) forever. :)

[SoundWave]

Drivers license hell yea..!

Your memory starts to degrade after 25.. :[

[shaberry]

hmm.. if you've noticed.. old people say growing older sux but young people say that it rocks,.. so it actually depends
Yeah...I remember how when I was young I really wanted to grow up...and then now that I'm older...I wanna be young again. Funny how when you're younger you're in a rush to grow up and be older...then when you finally become old...you wish you were still a kid. Enjoy your youth guys while you still have it...once you're older...it's all a pile of stress. *sigh* I wish I was still in elementary or high school. Things were SO MUCH EASIER than how it is now. >.<;;; When you're older...you actually have to WORK...to get money to pay for the things you want (unless you're a spoiled rich kid)...and in order to actually get payed well...you have to finish school. Everyone says that college is the best time of their life...possibly...because you're not obligated to go to school and you can party all you want. But then again...if you don't go to school and get a degree...it's harder to find a good paying job...because all employers require at least a bachelors degree (and when I mean employers I don't mean the mall jobs and restaurants like McDonalds. I'm talking about the jobs that pay you $15/hr and up.)

I was talking about starting pay. You did notice the "$15/hr and up" right?

[Tobi]

I never want to grow up, I won't have time to do anything, thats why I'm going to do all the things I want to do when I'm young, like travel the world ect.

[Twinky]

lol yea i did, i know what you mean. heres the thing, they dont care if your missing class in college because really your burning your money away every time you skip. so its all on you if you cant do well in college, actually you dont have to go to class if you get 100 on the test you pass. but still only a genius can do something like that

What state is this? That allows you not to take the class if you get 100 on the test? *blink* I'm so game!

[diamondedge]

What is so bad about taking responsibility for your own actions?
It's what all kids fear: responsibility. it's all okay when your only obligation is to go to school and have good grades, isn't it? When growing up people expect more from you, you have to do more things by yourself and for most kids that is frustrating. It was the same with me.

But it's something you have to clear with yourself. It's all part of growing up. The realization that you will soon have to take care of yourself and deal with all worries adults have (and trust me there is PLENTY) is as i have said, frustrating. The fact that you will once have to abandon most of the things you are obsessed too right now is an issue too. Liking games or anime isn't a fact of being an adult or not though.

But we carry a child inside us forever, no matter how old we are.

Growing up doesn't suck. It's a part of life. Once you accept that fact, all the possibilities that open to you are endless. i don't think I'm fully grown up myself. But I have done tremendous way and i am no longer burdened by the fact that i am actually turning 20 in one year and have a job and a school. I look forward to growing up. :)

There's nothing wrong with growing up...it's growing OLD...that's the problem. I don't know about you...but I'm not looking forward to all the genetic diseases that I might inherit from my family...not to mention...I'm not looking forward to looking older and getting wrinkles and having sagging skin. It already sucks that I look my age *sigh*

[deto]

i don't really think too much about it, waste of time anyway since you never really know how long the skein of you live is. at least not that far.

[Mikado]

You're as old as you feel.

[shaberry]

You're as old as you feel.

That too...but still...you won't LOOK as old as you feel...lol.

[Kyoko<3!]

What state is this? That allows you not to take the class if you get 100 on the test? *blink* I'm so game!

uh...well when you're in college, technically you don't have to go to class once as long as you show up for tests and pass those. I know some kids who do that.

[Shezmu]

ehm well i'm in high school now, getting A levels and I think it will be much easier when you're grown up..
You don't have to go to school, but you have a job.
I don't know why people hate working, i think school's worse.
You can choose a job that you think is cool. I wan't to be be a doctor and i think I'll enjoy working when i become one.
When you're old you're independent, i hate to be financial dependent on my parents..
On the other hand, i have no idea what it's like to be grown up so I'm probably wrong XD
being 20-30 or so seems the coolest age to me

[Sono i Lupi]

i think it depends on where u are in ur life
im 16 schools ending and im gonna be a senior next year
which means finals, termpaper handing in and start sending college apps
so at this point of age 16
life sux
but once i get apps in, once i get accepted to a college
life becomes fun again cause i dont have to do shit
but until then
i have to make the most of the free time i have

[shaberry]

uh...well when you're in college, technically you don't have to go to class once as long as you show up for tests and pass those. I know some kids who do that.

Yeah...I know...some classes allow that...but my other college classes actually require me to attend to get my grade.

[+]-[+POPS+]

20 wasn't bad, 30 wasn't that bad either, but now that I'm coming up on 40 it's different story. I have the entire family depending on me for everything. ok not everything but it feel like a weighty responsibility most of the time. the whole "you get to choose the job you have" sounds good in theory but jobs change and with a family to support you can't just jump up and change jobs when ever you feel like it. a lot of time you get STUCK doing crap you don't want to do. without any obvious ways out. and god forbid you hurt yourself along the way(which I did) so you get to look forward to doing a BS job for years and years while you feel like shit, doing a job you can't stand and having people depending on you to keep doing the same old BS day in and day out with nothing to look forward to but getting old and not being able to do shit but watch TV and drool on yourself when and if you make it to retirement...................old, old sux.
how's that for an older view of getting older? no beating around the bush on that one....lol o.0

[Munky]

haha well said p0ps, growing older sux but growing really old sux huge balls!

i'd be happy if i die before my bones start to crack due to old age ^ ^

[Twinky]

*says in napoleon dynamite voice* LUCKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

lol to be honest i hated that movie, its pointless and it wasent even funny. the best time in your life would be during college, unless your a loser ofcourse :Domo

[+]-[+POPS+]

Twinky, yes, college was a damn fine time.

Make the most of it!!!

[shaberry]

I seriously HATE college. It's all a bunch of crap. You have to take unnecessary classes that don't even coincide with your major...just to graduate. Then...since it's up to you to pass your classes...if you mess up and decide to be lazy and not attend...because you can...and don't wanna go to class...(sometimes) you end up failing the class and having to do it over again. And that whole...it takes 2-4 years to finish college is a whole bunch of crap...at the most...you'll probably finish college in 4 1/2 to 5 years...if you really bust your ass (meaning...taking no winter or summer breaks). *sigh* I wish I was still in elementary and high school...God...the classes were soooooo much easier...and even if you didn't work hard in class...they'd still pass you...lol.

[Hathore]

i didnt mind it it was a waste of money i think but not much you can do though

[Evanesque]

Blegh...yeh growing old does have it's positive and negative sides...but once you're old, there's no turning back time..

I'm dreading the weakness, memory loss and aches in my body when I grow to be 40 >_<

Being 19 feels old enough, I've already got the back aches =/

[shaberry]

Tell me about it...im 22...and I already have arthritis *sigh*

[Evanesque]

Yeh but growing older can be fun...especially if you have someone with you who you can grow old with ^^;

[deto]

19 back aches, 22 arthritis. what the hell are you doing? O.o

[Hathore]

Tell me about it...im 22...and I already have arthritis *sigh*
shoot i got it now at 19 from lifting alot of things

[emoloz]

Being my age well the whole going out clubbing and everything. I don't get it at all i'd rather get a rib broken at a gig then dance for an hour straight in a room.

[shaberry]

Nothing...it's in the genes...both my parents have arthritis on each side of their family -.-;;;

[Hathore]

same here it runs on both sides *sigh*

wow, this is the exact opposite of a thread I started, "Is being young overrated"?

Personally, I don't think old ages suck as much as most people think; in fact, I think being a young adult is totally overrated. Being old is a bit underrated.

Some good things about being old: social security pays you, you don't ever have to work again, and any civilize being will respect your experience and knowledge in life.

respectfully I say, I will have paid into the system my entire life and there is a strong possibility it won't even be there when I should receive it.
as for the not having to work again, tell that to the poor smuck working at Wal-Mart as a greeter.
the only way you get to look forward to not working is if you plan for it or if you are with a outfit who has a good retirement. Just because you hire in with a place who has a retirement doesn't mean they will keep it till YOU retire. (mine sure as heck didn't) look out for yourself, invest, or do what ever it takes to take care of you. I fear for the future and what it hold for people your age. If it bit me in the butt, I can only imagine what "looking out for that bottom line" will mean for you guys.
I notice you threw in there the "civilized", unfortunately the number of people like that are getting less and less.
Who knows, hopefully the trend will turn around.

Oh wow, really? That's sad to hear. Yeah, you're right about the "civilized" part; old people aren't getting enough credit since most people just lock them into retirement homes or something.

And don't worry, I wasn't offended by your statement; it was something worth thinking about.

Hmmm...now-a-days...social security isn't enough to pay for living expenses and to support a person when they're retired. The cost of living has escalated so high in the world...especially California that one can't even consider to depend on social security. Now...social security is just chump change.

[Harley Quinn]

I'm actually looking forward to getting old, can get up to all sorts of mischief.Like farting and falling asleep before anyone can say anything about it.
And apart from farting and getting away with it I can't wait to do the whole cliche of waving my fist/stick at kids and yelling at them to get the hell of my lawn.

I'm quoting myself, wtf?:lol

Hey, at least when you get older, you get more experience in life. Think about it: you're in a lawsuit that could cause you to lose millions of dollars; who would you rather hire, a young and inexperience lawyer, or an older and much more experience lawyer? You're having a surgery that could cost you your life. Which surgeons do you want, young ones or experienced ones?

I pick both for both cases and usually it does happen :Domo.

[Guy]

You mean you get both an experience and inexperience doctor/lawyer? Huh... well, I figure most people would say "older and more experience" one.

[shaberry]

But how do you expect to get "a more experienced" person...if you don't give the inexperienced person a chance? Just because you're older doesn't exactly mean you're more experienced.

[Guy]

It usually does. So are you saying you would hire a young person if you were in such situation?

[shaberry]

I'd like someone with experiece...however...I wouldn't just base my judgement on age. I know alot of people who are older than me...and I'm more experienced than they are. For example...in my nursing program there are alot of people who are easily 5-10 years older than me...however...they're just as inexperienced or less than I am. Not trying to brag here...but I do a way better job than most of the old people in my clinicals (on-floor nursing training in the hospitals).

So...basically...that's why I say...age technically doesn't mean that you're more experienced. It's what you do with your time and your resources that make a person experienced.

But also...like I said earlier...technically in the medical field...you can't really pick and choose who's going to provide your care...you're basically assigned to whichever nurse or doctor is available.

[Unrefined-Nemesis]

Seeing this Thread makes me think that whoever came up with this thread must be an emotionally suicidal teenager whose afraid to grow up, simply I put these words to him/her, "Grow up and face reality, No one can be an immortal"

Going older is actually a good thing for everyone, the older you get the more responsibilities you will have and with these responsibilities will make you more mature and fruitful. Going older helps develop your brain and your thinking skills making you to have more in depth way of thinking, you get more experiences and with these experiences they will get you good or help you get jobs in the future.

Growing old doesn't necessarily mean you die faster, this is reality you can die anytime and anywhere, don't ***** or whine about age and say we're dying faster as we get old if thats the case then why are there infant mortality rates. Reality is real face it or just commit suicide if you hate growing old.

Sure it has its downside, common life and reality is all about overcoming the downsides.

[shaberry]

Sure it has its downside, common life and reality is all about overcoming the downsides.
Although I agree with what you said, I believe that this thread focuses more on disillusioning the younger cb members on what they fantasize growing older may be like. Or, it could possibly just be for purposes of complaining about the downsides of aging. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with complaining, just as long as you do something about it.

And your comment about "whine about age and say we're dying faster as we get old if thats the case then why are there infant mortality rates." I personally think that comparing infant mortality rates to old age and dying faster is irrelevant and doesn't even coincide on the same level. The only similarity they share is death. The reason why there are infant mortality rates are because mother's now-a-days are giving birth at an older age, which increases the risk for still-birth and for abnormalities. Not to mention, at the same time, there are mothers who don't take care of themselves while they are pregnant (ex: doing drugs). Also, at the same time, it seems that mothers (in this current time) are also becoming younger, because children are having sex at such a young age, and since they're so young, they "aren't able to take care of their babies," so they resort to abortion. However, abortion applies to girls and women alike. Not to mention, miscarriages. A female's body isn't perfect, so there are times when the body can't support a fetus, and the child dies before birth or during development.

On the other hand, people don't technically die faster as they get old. Some people are actually dying at a later age now. It's what you do with your body and your genetics that decide if you die faster or live longer. Infant mortality has nothing to do with aging, on the infant's part. The only way age applies to infant mortality rates is if the mother is too old to be giving birth.

aches & pains
memory goes to pot
never have time to do things you want to do
people look at you like your not cool anymore when you do things you do enjoy like listening to the music you enjoy.
all your friends are gone..... either moved away or died off.
don't even remember what it is that you enjoy to do anymore.
main thing you get to look forward to is taking a nap:eek13:
can't remember how old you are half the time.
oh, and the list goes on, don't rush to grow up too fast.
is there anything about being your age that you like??????????
ROFL

I dread the day I get old...
turning 18 is no biggie... until you realise that you'll be 20 in a few.

I currently enjoy everything that's modern in our generation... also the enjoyment of spending time to do things you enjoy and CAN enjoy at a young age.

I hope I don't get old too soon :\

[ghey b]

uhh im 20,

this has got to be one of the worst ages, 1 year from drinking.. legally >.> lol

although its better than 19 cause im not a teen anymore :p

[Kray]

Yes. 20's only perk is not being a teen.
Other than that it's useless. XD

* Turns 20 in 16 days *

[Shezmu]

uhh im 20,

although its better than 19 cause im not a teen anymore :p

Drinking legally when you're 21? wtf =o where do you live? Utah or something?
do you mean you can't drink strong alcoholic drinks or aren't you even allowed to drink beer before you're 21? That surprises me i thought the alcohol policy here was strict but the legal drinking age is 16.

anyway I don't know if growing older really sucks as hard as some of you say, i guess i'll find out soon (i'm 16 now) but i can hardly imagine it is a bad as some say. unless you get past 50 or something..

I think it'll be great to be an adult since you have much more freedom and you arent financially dependent on anyone

[Jay3205]

^^ The legal "age for alcohol" is 21; the national law for it was passed in 1984. Granted there are certain situations when it is allowed (i.e. medical or religious purpose, in private clubs/homes under strict supervision), but the legal age is still 21. Some states at most can charge you for "possession of alcohol" and not the actual drinking of it, but the law is still national and applies in your area...

Anyways, it's funny how all the younger members are saying "it couldn't be that bad" while the older ones are opposite. Though I'm still in my teen years, I can see why "growing older sux". As a kid, your life is basically your 5-6 hours of school... after that you are free to go with your friends, party, drive around, and do whatever. Even if you rebel against your parents, you will still get your needs met like food, shelter, etc. As an adult, you are financially independent though you are likely sacrificing 9+ hours a day to do so. On top of that, you suffer the actions of your consequences, which are worse than the mere "You can't drive for a month" that parents give to their children.

growing older sucks so badly. but then again it dont.
time flies as you get older, that sucks cus that means you get less time on cw, but better cus u wait less for ur bday.
u can drink and shag when u r older legally, it dont really mean much when u r younger.
u can drive, that means a lot when u r young.

[Unrefined-Nemesis]

Which side of the earth do you live in to drink at 21 ? The age limit here is 18 how come over there is damn high ?

Just like the other's have mention growing older is a joy since there are many things that we can such as smoking, drinking and other enjoyable stuff that legal people can do such as watching porn films at the cinemas.

[M-50]

Its 21 in america. 18 in the uk, pretty much as soon as you are born in India.

[5th of April]

I like my age. Twenties are the best. You're independent, you earn your own dough, get your own place, finish college, start climbing towards your goals, plus no one to scold you coz you're too young and what not. Relationships have open back doors. ;>

[kaede822]

psshh... tell me about it.. growing older does suck.. well for some part though.. time to face reality..well, for some of us, reality isnt really where we want to be in. anyway, for the good part.. i can do stuff without my parents consent.. !!!

[Yuffie]

Yea, growing older sucks

#1: When you go out on a celebration, no one will give you any money - -;
#2: You'll grow wrinkles
#3: You have to get married

>:

The downside to this one is you have to face reality >.>

[Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou]

Of course growing old sucks, it's no fun sitting on a bench in the park on a Saturday feeding Pigeons, THAT SUCKS!!

[MelissaJ]

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!! getting older does sux, however looking back on all the memories its quite funny how life is so short, especially if all you've done is go to school, play sport, work in the evenings and party on the weekends. you wonder how life takes it corse!

Yeah...time does fly when you get older...it just slips right thought your fingers...

[erika]

getting older does really suck but then at times when i think about it growing up doesnt necesserily mean that you need to change your perception of life... it depends upon the person on how he sees the process of growing up and learning how to be independent....:D:Domo

[AmnesiaI]

ahhh stop your complaining, once you get around 20-25 you'll be like ZOMG LIFE IS GREAT

[xBkLaZex]

growing older... i guess the worst part is missing the gangsta old times when you could go 2 your bois house and play digimon & watch cartoons... now its all looking gud, getting money, all that shit is getting lame. plus all of us now... have dirtier minds :) i think im about to crry... :(

[shaberry]

ahhh stop your complaining, once you get around 20-25 you'll be like ZOMG LIFE IS GREAT

20-25? Where is this GREAT LIFE that you're talking about? I'm 22...turning 23 in October...and I'm still not seeing it. Either that...or you live in some really chill...kick -back state or country...

[Rorschach]

It can suck, because it seems that everything is just going by so quickly now. You begin to look back and think "good god that was ten years ago..." that sucks =/.

[shaberry]

Yeah...lol...God...that though makes me feel horrid >.<;;; But the memories are always awesome...it's just the time span that makes makes me feel bad *sigh*

[Twinky]

Yea, growing older sucks

#1: When you go out on a celebration, no one will give you any money - -;
#2: You'll grow wrinkles
#3: You have to get married

>:

i agree with 2nd and thrid. heres the fact it says that you have to frown 300,000 times to get one wrinkles

start counting them frownings lady! :Domo :Domo :Domo

[Guy]

Well, at least when you're old, you get to rest more... lol. I don't mind getting older, actually. I'm not the party type anyways. Plus, when you get old, at least you have a lot of life experience...

[shaberry]

Dood...I think you get to rest more when you're a kid -.-;;; But then again...I think that it's just the california life over here. We're always on the run and busy >.<;;; But then again...when you're beyond the age of retirement...and you're at the point where someone has to support you when you're older...I guess you get to rest more...

Life experiences are a plus though ^-^ The best thing about getting older is that you get to accumulate more memories that you grow fond of as the years pass by ^-^

[Prince Noctis]

It does suck alittle.

I miss the times when I can sleep late during weekends. and not worry about the consequences.

[Guy]

Oh yeah, as a kid, those days were the best. I love being a kid... but sadly, I can't be one anymore.

I agree everything else about being old. Yeah, there are downs about old age, but there are downsides to every age... even being a kid...

[shaberry]

Yeah...that is true. I don't think anyones ever happy with their station in life. I think they only appreciate it as the years go by...but then again...I could be wrong...

[Sliferhaven]

I love being 13, but I wish I was 18 or something, though. But tapioca pudding is something I look forward to when older. I already love it.

Tapioca pudding ftw!

[aloy]

..huh..getting older's not too bad...but i still wish i could go back in time to my school days!

[mangaman16]

the only thing bad about getting older for me is the lots of responsilbilities you have.But i'm lazy so that's probally why.

[UryuuIshida$]

i want to stay young forever but i would miss out on some mature rated stuff so mayb it would be okay to b 18 also.

[Edgey]

I find growing older a good thing, mainly because I am only 16 and more privileges are becoming open to me because of me getting older, but as soon as I hit 21 or something like that I will probably want to be young again and start to hate growing older...

[Evil_Mirai]

Omg nooo i'm so old, i'm dyying... *dies* jk lol :D
I'm satisfied being 18. Here I'm officially an adult by all means lol
And it's too early for me to worry about getting older... since I'm still young...

[Tablo.]

I'm currently searching for Elixir Of Youth.

Does that tells you anything? I think so.

...And just in case you're slow:

I hate being old. There. I don't have any explanation why the hell I answered that but what comes into my mind comes first.

[RiannaSan]

I NEVER wanted to get older... even when I was a little kid. I'm 19 and not looking forward to turning 20. If I could I'd go back to like 7 or something. As far as what I like... I like the freedom I have to stay out as late as I want and with whoever I want. Being old enough to have a job is nice, because you don't get some measly allowance.... you can actually make a good amount of cash. And college is just SO much better than high school.

[Ankh13]

I work at a retirement community and its depressing. They just wait to die, well the section I work they are.
Im dont want to get old and saggy =(

[Sushi]

I can't stand getting older. If I had it my way I would be probably about 12 forever.

[Lethe]

I want to stay 7-10 years old because that's how my mind is set at the moment.

o.o

[deto]

candy and throwing snowballs at other people`?

[dragoneyes001]

-[+POPS+']20 wasn't bad, 30 wasn't that bad either, but now that I'm coming up on 40 it's different story. I have the entire family depending on me for everything. ok not everything but it feel like a weighty responsibility most of the time. the whole "you get to choose the job you have" sounds good in theory but jobs change and with a family to support you can't just jump up and change jobs when ever you feel like it. a lot of time you get STUCK doing crap you don't want to do. without any obvious ways out. and god forbid you hurt yourself along the way(which I did) so you get to look forward to doing a BS job for years and years while you feel like shit, doing a job you can't stand and having people depending on you to keep doing the same old BS day in and day out with nothing to look forward to but getting old and not being able to do shit but watch TV and drool on yourself when and if you make it to retirement...................old, old sux.
how's that for an older view of getting older? no beating around the bush on that one....lol o.0


well your still years younger than I am and so far I don't consider myself old as your portraying it.

there are positives like women our age are past most of the youthful hang ups so talking sex is perfectly natural.

yes we have to provide for our lives but we also decide what we want in life and have the freedom to do with our lives whats necessary to achieve it even with limiting circumstances if your motivated enough you can do what you want to.

I decided I wanted to start riding Motorcycles again so I saved up and got one I still enjoy being able to drive at over 140 miles/hr I guess the real difference is I have the experience to know when and where I can without risking others or tickets.

another plus is at my age I don't have to go back to a war zone (Rwanda 93-94) thats one thing I don't want to repeat.

also another plus at our age we own things we're not just getting into the mass debt game we're at the its payed off stage.

if all you look at is the worst case scenario then your very likely to "get what you wished for"

[Quiet Demon]

Now, I my not be as old and wise as Dragoneyes(hey it rhymed), but, I can say that my life has been one hell of an adventure. I've been to college, served in the military, been 180 MPH, 150ft underwater
I've been homeless for 6 months, and I've been wealthy for a year. I've met famous dignitaries (sic) and I'm still only a third the way through life.

I cannot wait to see what other curveball's life throws at me. Let Age bring experience, make the most of it.

[-=Yanayo=-]

Life - for me it seems to get easier as i grow older - i am only 15 and 8 months :P hahaha but i had a very poor early childhood, i like haveing respinsibility and i like having the challenges but out of everything i wasn't ready for love and heartbreak.

Family and friends alike have in the past broken my heart but the pain i feel through my relationships is very different from anything iv felt before the empty heart, the nights alone crying, i was never prepared for

ha i sound emo but im being honest - i like growing older - noone ever said life was easy did they? and the more you battle through the stronger you become

[FaerieRose]

I'm 35. I don't wish to repeat my teenager years for any amount of money but I would not change what I experienced either. I don't envy the teenagers of today in what they have to face. I'm raising a soon to be teenager with two more one the way up age wise. They are facing extradoraire things that I can only imagine yet would not wish for even at my own age. I'm a survivor and I hope I'm raising my kids to be that too.

[Gowansweetpea]

what sucks is the older I get, the more responsibilities I get, and the older I feel

[Kenji]

If I could stop at age 28 I'd be good, I would have a great job, probably married and starting a family, and come on 20's :D.

Seems like the best age anyone could be in.

[Karakura Red]

its great being a kid because you can feel carefree and everything would be so simple, you dont have to work either...

[Night Prowler]

Im twenteen in September. Gonna leave my teenagehood in style this summer though, plently and plenty of gigs and festivals!

[Alagdam]

Well I enjoy my life at age 18 but I would have to say that years 16-17 were better. Nothing to worry about and it just seemed I was living the life. But back to being 18, i like the freedom that comes with going to college but i hate the stress that comes with going to college. So ya there are things I enjoy about being 18 but imo getting older will only suck if you sit back and watch it pass by you.

[KELSØv3.0]

I actually enjoy life more as I grow older.

The responsibilities that I get as I get older don't bother me at all. I learn to cope with them and go to enjoy my life to the fullest as I get older.

[Kimochi]

at a certain time, it does cause you have to do thing that grown ups do which probably you haven't and it takes time to be used to it..

but as you grow older, parent tend to trust you more.. they tend to let you live your life provided you don't do anything to make them upset. growing older help make you learn certain things that are useful in the future.

example; you learn to make money, when you were young, mommy and daddy give you money but when you grow up, you make your own money and learn that making money is difficult and you will learn how to save it...

same like relationship, when you get older you will know what you like in a person and what you don't like, you become more socialize and know different kind of people..

[Joan]

I dunno really. I'm ok with it so far.
I miss being a kid though : p I love when me and my sisters used to play all day long. And if we had played outside when it was winter, she would make us cocoa^^

But it's ok now too I guess.. I have more money, I can decide for myself ect...

[Night Prowler]

Yus living without your parents in the same house is good, I feel like I can do anything without being told not to.

[jemz09]

Yeah, seriously. You're like subjected to lots of responsibilities >.>

I'm still 15, I have yet to explore all of what growing old has to offer but still =/

[Sarteck]

what sucks is the older I get, the more responsibilities I get, and the older I feel

What a necrobump, dude. XD

On topic, growing old has it's perks. I swear to you guys, chicks really seem to dig you more the older you get--or so it's been with me, and I'm 29 in a few months. :)

[ichigo81195]

i like my age and everything, i'm 13ish, these are the good years when you party and act like a retard towards your parents, when you get drunk and pass out on your friends floor and go home late. these are also the years you experiment with drugs and all that shit, not like i've ever had any drugs o_O ok yeah i had a little. but these are the years when you learn to become that wonderful young, responsible adult.

[sinkinswimmer]

damn, tell me about it, i'm slowly approaching 30 and i wish i can roll back time to when i was just in high school.

I could not agree more.

Though from time to time I still act like a kid.

[Seito Uzuki]

Yeah, seriously. You're like subjected to lots of responsibilities >.>

I'm still 15, I have yet to explore all of what growing old has to offer but still =/

Awww your so lucky I already have tons of bills to pay, Have to work, clean, cook and stuff all day...so yea it does suck

[myrvann]

I'm 16 and I love it :3
So far this has been the best period of my life, counting the pokemon time (damn, I miss that time ;_; )
Today I'm treated as anvadult in situations where I think I'm able to act mature and in situations where I'm unsure, I can go back to being a mere child :3
I don't really have to take respoonsibility, and I'l fully aware of that, so I'm enjoying it as much as I can xD

But I guess that time will fly and soon I'll find myself staring at the mirror, sonly to see a 40 years old woman trying to look cool in thight clothes for young people -_-..

[ishi-chan]

I miss my primary school days. So innocent and carefree.

Being 18 without a job and not studying sucks -_-

[Reyin]

Meh I'm enjoying college so far, being 21 is good because I have access to just about anything I want to get into as far as going out goes. But the end is near as far as college goes. I may go to grad school but more than likely I'm going to end up with a career in a couple years. I still have some of the best years of my life left so to be honest I'm not really too terribly worried about growing up. Besides it's not like I can stop aging so I may as well not worry about it =)

[ProtoFunc]

Being 18 without a job and not studying sucks -_-

ROFL... ftl.. def need to get the job part down.

and word to your mother for the peeps talkin bout the responsibility... responsibility for the LOSS! car payments, car insurance, GAS, food, SCHOOL......damn, i'm only 18 and that shit drives me nuts as it is.. can't imagine being out on my own and paying for EVERYTHING.

though i have to say, 18 has been the best year of my life thus far.... being an adult definitely opens different windows of opportunity for you. like going to other side of the country with your friends, being able to just up and out whenever you feel like it, being capable to do whatever you want whenever you want (as long as you're financially able) feels good. being older does have its perks though it's a trade off.

[Kenji]

Well I personally think that this way of thinking is a little immature, since responsibilities are what is needed in our world.

One thing keeps the other in order, Cops keep criminals in order for instance.
If a single part of the chain becomes weak because of not wanting responsibilities the entire chain will fall apart.

Even if I do enjoy being 16, I really want to grow up so I can move out of the house and start my own family and make my parents proud.

[ProtoFunc]

Well I personally think that this way of thinking is a little immature, since responsibilities are what is needed in our world.

^lol.. you can say disliking responsibility is immature when you actually have it. no doubt it's necessary and everybody should do their part efficiently and effectively, but there's nothing wrong with missing the good old days when you had less of it.

more responsibility means more accountability. this means the bigger the tree, the harder it falls. in some cases there's little to no room for error, which means you ultimately get screwed in the end if you mess up. now of course there are upsides to responsibility (ie. opportunities, financial benefits, accomplishments, etc.) but as mentioned before, it's a trade off.

bottom line, i disagree. i don't think having car payments and wishing that you didn't is immature. does that mean you're not gonna make the payments (on time especially)? no, you just wish you didn't have them =)

[Rolling Star]

definately hate being a grown-up, but i'm still a kid inside!

[Klavier Gavin]

Being 21, working and single sucks.

Lol, I miss high school. :(

[Rolling Star]

I agree with you Klavier. Sounds like we are on the same boat, lol.

[Jash2o2]

I'm still in High School and life sucks. It's going to really suck when I have to work for a living. I miss elementary school!
