I'm kinda scared to turn 18...

ok so my birthday is in 2 and a half weeks. the big 1-8 [wooo ]
and i was always so excited to turn 18 but as the day gets nearer, im kinda gettin scared about it for some reason...
when you're a kid, you get away with so much more and you dont really have to worry too much about responsibility and stuff like that
but turning 18 means you're officially an adult, no more parents to bail ya out when ya fuck up
i dunno, maybe im bein childish about it all.. its not like i even get in much trouble anymore
its just the thought that if i did, that shit'll be with me for the rest of my life..
its not even like you can do that much more when you're 18 anyways [in the great u.s.of.a.]
wow, i can finally buy my own cigarettes.. maybe buy some porn [hah yeah right] and i can go into bars [woohoo, but i wont be able to drink ]
maybe i'd be more excited if i still lived in england.. cuz then at least i could go out and get pissed for my birthday.

ah well, adulthood here i come...

 

I dunno. I think you should embrace it. Feel all that delicious freedom, I mean you're already experiencing all the ties that you get when you move out, etc. So just consider that you're not jailbait anymore, and all those wonderful things..

ahahah

Gah. I'd surrender my entire typewriter collection along with a couple toes to be 18 right now.

I'd be outta Canada so fast.

 

All I can say is that when I turned 17, I was depressed as hell, went out back, threw my back to the wall, lite up two smokes and wished for something meanigful in my last year of youthood...

When I turned 18, I was in the middle of the street with my XG, it was great and terrible all at once, just find someone to help pad the impact, and you should feel great cuz it only happens once man. The hell with what others say.

 

I turned 22 about a month ago.Its all about the type of person you are though .For instance today was the first day I ever tried ironing a pair of pants.Now I'm 22 so I should probly know how to do that but I'm still a kid and act like one at 22.Age isn't that big a deal its just people expect you to act more mature.I'm not that mature and I'm having a great time.Its just a number so you gotta relize it won't change you overnight.

 

i know how ya feel! if it was up to me i'd be like.. 12 for the rest of my life, but you grow up and have to deal with things on your own, and thats just a part of life

i turned 18 last year and will be turning 19 in august (i'm getting so old haha)
its pretty much the same as being 17, except you're 18 and have to do things on your own.. just be responsible about shit and you won't have to go to jail by yourself without your parents help lol.

 

I was too

nothing changed

cept I can buy tobacco

 

turning 18 wasnt any different than 17. i mean you can buy cigs and porn and get into some clubs and little things but really its no big deal. As for getting in trouble A) dont get caught or B)if you do, take responsibility. Im sure efore you do things you already know teh reprecussions, but in doign it you pretty much say your willing to accept them. Dont worry about it though, when your 17 you can get into just as much trouble as when you are 18. They can try you as an adult when you are 17.

 

18 is no problem. I just turned 30. I'd love to be 18 again. But now you get the privelges of being a legal adult, so that should be cool.

 

Turning 18 was fucking fantastic

 

i felt the same when i was turning 18. but yeah, nothing really changed, maybe cuz here you can go to bars and drink and buy whatever even if youre 15... 18 meant i had to get an id card... which i didnt do since 2 weeks ago. they couldve arrested me cuz of that, but i didnt feel like having it. now i feel really old. and im turning 20 in december! thats gonna be hard... and when i turned 18 time started passing faster... but i guess its cuz since then ive been doing so many things at the same time and i dont really have much time to be lazy or do nothing..

 

^^ Haha, yo, that was always a problem for me, EVEN at 18!!!!
I never had any ID, and I still look like I"m at least 14 years old, cept the facial hair....it's sad.

 

it really isn't that great

 

i cried when i turned 18.. and when i turned 20 (no longer a stupid teenager)...

but i was always in love with the idea of peter pan as a kid..

 

18 isnt anything different. you've been on your own and supporting yourself for so long that it shouldnt even matter. All that it means is that you can legally buy fags and porno.

haha...i love words

 

yeah, i have been living out on my own for awhile now [almost a fucking year, holy shittttt ] so its not like i have any added responsibilities or anything like that.

and meg, i actually LIKE using the jailbait card. especially living in marinetown where every guy you meet is like 20-25 and horny as hell... just say "sorry, im only 17" and they back off QUICK. haha i fuckin love it. me and my friend autumn decided that we're both gonna say we're 17 to all the marines that come into work anyways.. even if we're 18. ahahahaha.

it will be pretty awesome to be able to go into a store and buy my own cigarettes for a change though. thats the first thing im doing on my birthday

 

just keep saying you're 17 then

 

Ehhh. Marines.

Wait. Was it you that quit for good awhile ago? I was kind of happy for you.

 

yeahhh... marines =/



and yeah, that was me i have no self control =/
at least i cut down a lot from what i used to smoke.
a pack lasts me a good 2-3 days.. thats not really that bad

 

go buy some cigs. a porno and start stripping

 

10 days until i can legally make love to my boyfriend
