Hurray! I'm 16 today! ........So?

The only advantage of being 16 here is that you can smoke. You must be 18 to drink and to drive (hopefully not together...).

Birthdays are overrated - I bet that the mental age of half the people here is higher than he majority of 18-year-olds

The only exception being the daily troll.

 

[Kellerb]

sixteen is the gateway age, the world begins to open up to you. skydiving, for instance...

All that was great about mine was the fact that I got Max Payne.

I is one of those sad ones. You need some form of social life to have a particularly happy birthday. Boo me.

 

[Irridium]

Best birthday? Never had a really good birthday, most of mine have been boring as hell.

Worst? When none of my friends showed up for one of my birthdays. Thats when I stopped giving a shit about birthdays. I think it was my 11th or 12th birthday.

(I am probably the only teenager who doesn't give a fuck about driving)

I don't give a fuck about driving either, so you are not alone on that.
And everyone seems to think that something is wrong with me, because I don't care about driving.

I'm 18, and don't even have my license yet.

At 16, you can officially engage in what is known as LEGAL INTERCOURSE.

Aside from that, nothing much really.

Because long ago, someone came up with the phrase "sweet 16," it stuck, and now we are burdened with this idea that turning 16 is some wonderfully glamorous event.

I think my best birthday was my 18th. Only partly because I turned 18, which meant that I no longer needed parental approval to get games. It was mostly good because I spent it with my girlfriend, rather than a large group of people I only know from the periphery of my life.

now that sounds great and all but isn't your girlfriend from the periphery of your life?

my best birthday was my first, the whole "getting shoved head first out of a vagina" kinda sucked but at least I didn't die
my other ones were all a big "meh", exept maybe the last one I had since I got dethklok tickets

No, she's from within the periphery.
Much closer, and she actually means something to me.

well I could make a ironic snarkey remark but I'll be a gentlemen, I am yet to actually experience that though so that might be why I'm skepticle

You can get a job, lazy

I've had a job since I was 11!

 

[ae86gamer]

You usually get your license when you turn 16. Thats what I did. And that was also my best birthday.

By the way...............

You can now:
Drive
Have sex
Smoke

Have fun.

 

[Julianking93]

I get that you finally are able to drive (I am probably the only teenager who doesn't give a fuck about driving)

No, you're not. I turn 16 in November, and I have yet to so much as read the first page of the packet from the DMV. I don't go places often, and when I do, it's either within walking distance, or I'm being dragged along with someone who can drive. Yet my dad keeps telling me I have to start driving as soon as possible. Makes no sense to me.

Weird...My dad's been doing the same thing. He keeps questioning why I don't want to drive.

I just don't find it that interesting. I mean, I will drive eventually but who cares? Everywhere I go is in walking distance and I plan on moving to the UK or DC when I get old enough because when I went to DC, the mall was walking distance (Be mindful though that "walking distance" for me is anywhere from 1-10 miles.) from our house, and its the same in the UK for all I know.

Like legal age is gonna stopped me before...

Well it only happened twice. Well...3 times but thats beside point that I just realized that if I were caught, I could become a registered sex offender.

Hey guys, its my birthday today and at 12:31 this morning, I was officially 16!

Now, I've gotten tons of people to be excited for me and its because of this age in particuallar. But I want to know why.

I don't get the big deal with 16. I get that you finally are able to drive (I am probably the only teenager who doesn't give a fuck about driving) and that in most other places besides America, you become "legal age" and are able to do everything you can do at 18 here, but, I live in America and that don't mean shit now.

So, I ask, whats the big deal with this age? What makes it different? I didn't wake up today and feel completely different (I didn't expect to) and I don't look any different than I did a week ago, so whats the deal?

And, for discusion's sake, what was your best/worst birthday?

i see what you mean, im almost 20 and still dont care about driving, only just got my permit, and it was soly to have a legal id, although the place where i live, the bike paths are so expansive and high quality, its pretty much better to have a bike, and i think by 16, you are officially.. well... done... your hormones begin to calm down, you start to focus on the world around you instead of solely on your individual needs, people can finally call you mature

Heh, I don't much care for driving either, I still don't have my permit, I'll get it when I get it. But yeah, congrats on being 16.
