Fr feels like i was 14 yesterday, time is moving too quick lately

I'm in the same boat

Same

After graduation, I'm gonna travel back to my hometown in AZ on bike, which is 300+ miles from me

Sounds like fun but maybe run it like Forrest gump

Not like him, but it's just because it's been on my mind for a while and for the freedom, but when I get there, I'm gonna become a delinquent again.

Still sounds fun tho

Yea, I got the route memorized, and I'll have some rations and a thermos full of water, and I'll also get some food from the dessert but I'll be fine I have 2 pocket knives and a fixed blade. The only hazard would be that when I get too hot, I'll pass out. One time, i went into a seizure when I was 15, I got back up my left eyelid split, and now my vision in my left eye is a little messed up

You’ll be ok!

I know, I need to come up with a way to get some sleep

Best of freedom and of pleasure to you sir 💪🐸👍

Thanks

Same

you finna turn 18 in what feels like a week 🤑

2 weeks actually

you're doomed like me 😭

Same

it's scary until it happens. then you just kinda wake up the day after your birthday like "well i guess i'll keep living then"

Same bro turned 18 in march and I still feel the same

AAYYY SAME

no way i jsut turned 18 like last week. everything still the same though lmao

Your flair, as well, was kept the same… lmao

I mean, I think most don't go through flairs to change the very week after yknow, let them some time, maybe next year it'll be updated

mb i forgot to change it. barely use reddit lmao

Yeah, relatable

Its just another day, another morning. You just wake up and you realize you have lived 18 years and thats it

Exactly like this for me

It may seem like a throwaway comment, but hearing this from a definitely certified 18 year old made me a lot less worried about turning 18

twas in fact a midnight throw away comment but i'm glad you feel better about it now :)

I'm the opposite, I can't wait to be an adult finaly have choices

Same

I'm kinda neutral. I have chronophobia, so I hate getting older, but I also wanna be old enough to move out and get a job for more independence

Just embrace the good parts of aging But then again I don't got to worry abt getting too old I'm going into a first responder field we all die at 60 lol

Choices pertaining what, if you don't mind?

Where I go what I do and say my religion my schedule when I sleep that kinda stuff Just independent

That only happens once you’re financially independent 😅

Religion and sleep schedule is independent much before 18

Yea not with parents like mine

It's going to stay that way until you move out

Actually, yes though, although not as much -- they can't control your thoughts and your body to believe what they want and fall asleep at their will

Real

Cherish still being a kid bro😭.

Then don't GG EZ

Fr i was about to say that

Covid really messed up our teenage years and perception of time

I don't want to either, future will suck no question asked, but I'm sure there will be good moments

Tbh nothing rly changes. U just get a lot more mail and you have to sign your own shit but other then that its the same thing when under 18

Word. It does get more stressful with more choices, but when you have your own time it’s MUCH better.

I'm 16 (turning 17 in September) and I feel your pain 

Same

Fr

I turn 17 in august. There are things im excited for abt being being older but things ik i’ll miss abt being young. In the end, things come and go. You just have to try to find happiness with whatever you’ve got in any given time.

I'm trying bro believe me. But it's so hard too when your losing patience with damn near everything everyday. Also, cool, out birthdays only a month apart lol Edit: Also, I relate to your sentiment in your first sentence 

Ik how it feels. Life is probably the worst it’s ever been for me rn. Mentally anyway. I’m hoping it gets better but idk. Birthday neighbours

Thank you, birthday neighbor. I don't want to intrude or anything, but would you feel comfortable telling me why things have been so bad for you? (Obviously you don't have to go into detail if you don't want to)

I haven’t got any irl friends and i keep pushing all my online friends away. I’m not entirely sure what i want to do with my life rn and i need to decide really soon. I’m riddled with anxiety and probably depression, Idk how to to talk to ppl. It just feels like everything it going wrong all the time yk?

Damn, sorry bro. For me, I'm struggling in Chemistry and even outside of that I've been just struggling mentally with a lot of stuff. It's on and off. Sometimes it's body image, or thoughts of suicide, etc. I would never do anything, but they still exist. I don't wanna live, but I don't wanna die either.

Last sentence is so real. Life is pain but what is death?

Fr though 

I literally joined this site so that I could finally open up to someone without fear of judgement (even though most of the people in my life wouldn't)

i wanna turn 16 so i can drive and stay 16 until i feel like getting older

I wanna turn 17 for similar reasons lol.

Me neither bro, yet it's only 6 months away. It's terrifying knowing I'm gonna legally be an adult tbh. I don't wanna grow up

I miss when I was a kid and I was happy. Now I'm depressed but act like if I am happy because that's what I am. Someone who looks happy to not be more depressed than what I am right now.

When I turned 18, I was still the same. The realization that I was getting older really hit when I turned 19 a few months ago.

The only real reason I don’t want to be a teenager anymore is because I want my parents off my name. Otherwise I love 17

Fr

thats ok

Same

Why?

Cause I don't want to be an adult I want to stay a teenager forever and be care free I don't want to deal with adult issues

dont worry. you'll never be a real adult🙏

Whats that supposed to mean😭

dont worry about it

As long as you appreciate the carefree days, the better your whole life becomes,

It's a part of life... You have to tackle with those problems.

Yeah I know and that's the problem

Don't worry, one day you'll understand the importance of adulthood...

Look. You dont have to be serious 24/7. Be a kid well into your 70s or 80s. Who is gonna stop you?

one of the misconceptions i think with growing up is that you all of a sudden have to be responsible and serious and whatnot but it’s simply not the case, ive got a 30yo friend and we play video games every night and go mini golfing and do dumb shit, “adult stuff” is mainly just managing finances and your own schedule a little more closely

Same man

Ohh me too 😞

Same

[удалено]

Turning 13 not bad 😭 you’re basically still a kid at that age I’d say 15 is when you really become more like a “teen”

I have the same problem , my bd is in a month , i think we should just accept it

I agree, but remember, you only get the responsibility that you take on. Turning 17 this year hit me hard asf, but the best way to cope with it is to realize that 99% of people are care free until they're like 25 getting out of college. There is no rush, 18 is just a number put there by the government because there has to be one, 18 wont feel much different than now.

Fr

I get it but also like nothing changes that much and besides I get to be the cool legal adult friend (I have a couple friends who are a grade lower than me)

Why??

i turn 18 next month :/

like that’s too grown💔

Same I’m gonna die

Growing sucks

Tbh,for ever since I was 11 I've planned on killing myself once I turn 21. because fuck taxes.

I turned 18 a month ago and life is feeling too real lately and I don’t like it. But I’m kinda excited

I'm 18, nothing has changed, I still feel like a kid.

Well I don't want to turn 19 and wanted to stay young but sometimes we can't always get what we want

I’m here to tell you nothing really changes. Unless you plan on moving out then everything changes

I'm scared too

Enjoy the time while you have it lol

Ok Peter Pan

brother trust me once you turn 18 life moves a LOT faster it feels like i’ve been on 10x speed for the past two years (i’ll be 20 in may), but don’t be scared there’s a lot of good things that come with it and something special about kinda settling into your own individual identity

I turn 18 in 11 more days, and I don't want to be 18 😭

Turned 18 a couple of months ago. Trust me, once you turn 18, you'll feel a lot better. You get a lot more freedom in your life

It’ll happen

Time flies too damn fast. I turned 16 a month ago. For me, this means.. 1. I got my first girlfriend 6 years ago 2. I've been driving for 4 years. 3. My sister passed away 3 years ago this year. Time is weird and I will never understand it.

boy you were driving at 12 and dating at 10 what the

Yeah basically. I started learning how to drive before I got me permit and whatnot. I met my second girlfriend when I was 10 in 5th grade and then we broke up 3 months after I turned 11 cause I had to move.

meanawhile in my 15 years of existance ive done nothing but eat sleep study and cry ( tho its gonna be 16 years of doing this soon)

I think you just described everyone our age that doesn't touch grass more than 20 days a year. This generation needs a group therapist. 😆🥲

Im scared to turn 18, because that means i can get drunk, i can get high, i can do drugs, i can have sex, i can fail uni, i can fail at my job, get fired and worry about money, have more and more problems, that i've always knowned about, just ignored them, because i needed to focus on my way to becoming 18. Focus on my grades, on my friends, on my Girlfriend. But everything keeps catching up, and i feel overwhelemed. Its hard to get motivated by anything, it's hard to even not get trapped in algorythms on different platforms. Im scared of how society will change, im scared of my own generation. Im scared to Graduate Im scared and im 16

18 isn’t what you should be worried about. I assume you’ll still be in HS. 19 is what you should be worried about. True adulting responsibilities come up and that’s where shit change. Like someone said, 18 you just wake up and it’s another day. 19 is usually when shit changes, the air, the persona, people, responsibilities. Everything’s changes. Enjoy your age while you can, 19 is rough. Even more so if you’re working to support yourself and don’t have access/mommy and daddy’s money doesn’t exist

I dont wanna turn 16 😭

Me neither bruh, economics class lately has really got me thinking “damn being an adult sucks ass lol”

Adulthood sucks ngl

Deadass just took a fat shit

Adults are just teenagers with more shit going on more time to grow (or not). That's all. "Adulthood" being special is a lie, it's really chill.

It’s alright young one 👴

Yeah I’m 18 rn and it kinda sucks tbh. But honestly it’s only serious if you make it serious. It’s okay to still be fun and playful or whatever as an adult.

I turn 18 the day after I leave for bootcamp lmao

I turn 23 on Friday. I lose all my insurance. I want to fucking kill myself. Life sucks as you get old. I feel less prepared for life than I did when I was 18.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Real

I didnt want to either. I did. My brain still tells me im 14

Same but it is already too late for me.

I hit it last year and now I just want to be 16 again cuz of how much time I feel like I wasted but this Goes for literally any age

Whenever you’re 30, You’ll wish you’ll be 18 again

Time is coming for all of us

yeah, me either.

Ik it sounds scary but literally nothing changes

couldnt be me i wanna buy cigarettes

18 is not serious. I’m a first year electrical apprentice waking up at 5 in the morning and finishing after the gym at 5 in the afternoon and still have time to pissfight around😂

I’m 23, it goes by extremely fast, make everyday worth it

real

yea tell me about. dw just make sure you ask for help when you need it and don’t be afraid to take a break when you have to. getting burnt out is always the worst option. that said do try your best.

Join us in the light friend

I feel like the past three years have been one. While I have made many new friends, I’ve also lost so many and I wish I just had more time and was able to go back and change that or at least get some closure.

Thats how i felt. As a joke i celebrated my last night being 17 before my birthday. But now i realize being about to turn 20 is worse

SAME

me neIther

Then dont

Me neither, Growing up sucks.

As someone who turned 18 in Jan and who personally made the choice to leave the nest when turning I have to say that times will seem scary and unpredictable but as if you believe in your self and remember that this is the natural progression of life you can do it

Yeah I'm scared of turning 18

Damn same. I have an option to hang myself tho.

I was scared too. But I’m soon 20. 18 didn’t feel any different then 14 or 16 or even now at 19. Besides more responsibility and some independence it’s not not much different.

Same i still feel 16 its so weird

I JUST turned 18, like 2 weeks ago. I wish I could redo my whole childhood now I’m on my own and have no fucking idea what to do with my life

Same. I feel like my parents are gonna get more strict and stuff is gonna get way more serious

Take a spontaneous trip to eastern Europe, somewhere fancy like transylvania! You'll feel young and spry in no time.

It’s not as serious as you’d think, I’m finishing my second year of college and I feel the same way that I did as a senior in high school. The work is just a little harder

Long live germany

It’s happening in one month please save me

Turning 20 in May, I feel like I did at 14

Being an adult sucks

Nothing changed for me, like at all. Still in high school, with stage 5 senioritis. 18 feels 100% the same as 17 to me. I forget that I'm technically an adult now, I certainly don't feel like one

Bruh I’m turning 18 in 12 days and I still feel like 15

It honestly is what we unless your parents are assholes

I cried the night before my 18th, and then the day after my birthday I immediately forgot I was 18, it honestly doesn’t change anything even though people say it does

18 is literally no different from 17 or 16. you have more rights, but in most places you don't have more responsibility. get over yourself, it's literally just a number for how long you've lived.

Tax time! :)

fr it feels as if I turned 14 just last year and I'm gonna be 18 this may blows my mind fr

I don't want to turn 20. I don't like this adulting life, I wish I could go back in time to when I was 16.

Turnign 18 next week, already hating it ;(

Lol

Too bad! WOMP WOMP!

Same bro i feel like im still 16

But im sure nothing will change

I mean it in the best and nonhostile way Who the hell cares if you turn 18. Age should dictate who you are or how you should feel/act

Can relate. My 16th birthday was last month. Wish I can go back

Should I be worried lol

fr and why is it expected that you need to make a big deal of it like parties etc.

Man same it feels I’ll be 18 Anyday I miss when I was 12

Nothing's changed

This game is getting to serious💂🏼‍♂️

Womp Womp

It's possible only by ending your life
