Honestly, I keep forgetting how old I am. My friend asked me my age, and I said 18 and she looked at me funny because we're the same age. She told me I was 19, not 18. Dude, seriously? When did that happen? I could've sworn I was only 18 or maybe still 17. For the longest time I got stuck saying I was 13, and then the next one was 16. After that, it all got blurry, and I keep forgetting how old I am. Right now, I think I'm 19, but I'm not positive.

Back a few years though, I had a really, really bad peter pan syndrome. I just didn't want to grow up and be independent. I didn't want to have to worry about life. I wanted to just be taken care of forever. I ranted and raved about it, but really, I couldn't do anything. And I don't know what I was so afraid of. Now that I have grown up some, I wouldn't go back.

Erised D. Sire 02-19-2009 03:29 PM

Well to start, right now I'm 17 XD
I feel pretty old...not sure how old I feel but I'm feeling the stress where I think about having to get a good job to pay bills (when I'm older) and thinking about where I should be going or what I should be doing...and I feel mentally mature.
People say I act older than what I am XD In my school several people thought I was a senior this year and last year...and even in my freshmen year. Getting told that I'm mentally mature is nice, I guess. But sometimes, depending on what I do with my hair and what I wear, I look like a grade school kid of middle schooler XD
I wish I was like...well, I actually don't care too much about how old I am physically though I wish I was younger mentally and physically so I don't have to stress so much about things I shouldn't even be concerned with >>;
I've told my true age all the time unless I forget my own age, then sometimes I accidentally take off or add on a year XD
I hang out with mainly my own age group though I do have older friends and people I like talking to...and well, since I assist with sunday school, I "hang" out with many little children, often 6th grade and under, including the small toddlers <3
I have taken the Wii quiz, but I forgot what I got XD I remember I got like...30~40 range lol

1. I feel like I might be in my twenties. I think about stuff too much, and have been told I act mature for my age.
2. Mature, but immature at times. I was told when I was sixteen I looked 21 o.o
3. 21 and stay 21 forever.
4. Never lied about my age, actually.
5. Whoever is talking about similar interests, outside appearances don't have anything to do with it imo.
6. Never taken one o.o
7. I'm actually 18. 3 years off my "apparent" age ;_;

Sometimes I feel like I am a very old woman...Haha. I think it is because I am always stuck at home with my daughter.
Well it depends really some days I can act real young other days older. When I was younger because would always tell me that I act a lot older than I was.
I wish I were 21. ^_^
Well when I was like 15 or 16 I told people I was 18.
Eh I would say my age group but some are like a year or two younger and others are a year or two older.
I don't lie my age!! (Besides one time!!)
I am 18!

Lacera 02-19-2009 04:20 PM

I definitely feel around four or eight years old, but thats because of the way I act not my mental age although I do talk before thinking the majority of the time :p
People think I look/act like a freshman when I'm totally a senior!
Oh man. If I could be any age I'm sure I'd be happy at 18 and Ive only got a few more months before that lovely birthday! :]
I have a bad habit of thinking I am one year younger then I am for like the first 3-5 months after my birthday. It sucks cause someone will be like "Uhm didnt you just turn ___? and I'll look really silly "Oh... yeah i did haha"
I tend to get along better with people younger then me because I have been one of the younger ones in my grade level or atleast thats what I like to think
I did take a Wiifit age thing and I kept on doing it until eventually I did end up with my true age! I am seventeen, yo.

Cherry Who? 02-19-2009 05:19 PM

I'm 17 years old.
I feel, look, and act 16 (in my opinion) for the most part. And by "act 16," I don't mean "ohmigod I think he likes me. I totally don't like him, though," immature middleschool bullshit, either. >>
I don't have a wii yet (I'm saving!) so I don't know how old it thinks I am. But considering how out of shape I am, I wouldn't be surprised if it thought I was pretty damn old. xD;
I pretty much hang around people my age. I have no problem with older people, I can get along with them fine, I'm just not really close with any right now. But I have met some very nice people on Mene who are older than me. :)
As for what age I wish I were... 19. So I can have all this scary getting a job, moving out, getting a GED, getting my license shit out of the way and done. ><
That, or 16 again so I can have more time to prepare.

EDIT: Oh, and I've never lied about my age. Those sometimes if it's around my birthday, I'll get confused and sound unsure, so people look at me like I am lying. >>
Like, even now it's been over half a year since I turned 17, but sometimes I still almost say that I'm 16.

I feel... well, right now I feel 16.
People often say I act like I'm in my 20's
I wish I was five again... the good ol' days when politics meant nothing
In 8th grade, somebody asked if was graduating high school that year... XD
Oh, def hang out with the 30-40 year olds. They seem to know what they're talking about. I really tend to dislike my generation.
I took one test when I was 12 that said I was 16
And... I'm really 16 now. XD April 24th, 1992!

jupiter 02-20-2009 10:52 AM

I don't suppose I can answer you about how old I feel. I haven't been older, not yet, so I couldn't compare it. I'm only 19 after all. I enjoyed being young and void of any true responsibility, but at the same time, you were expected to grow up soon, so there was always someone trying to teach you how. And you couldn't do much without being treated just as that; a child.

I've always been told that I looked older, even when I was very young. And I wasn't a rowdy obnoxious kid either, which probably added to that effect.

I think that I would like to be in my mid to late twenties, or maybe even early thirties before I wish I would stop aging. I want to experience all of it, but not actually age any further. After 40, I've heard it just goes downhill from there.

And how old are the people I hang out with? Generally, they're my age. It's always funny to hear people talk about the age of the people they hang out with. Just the other day, I heard a girl boasting "I hang out with people older than me. I don't know, they're just more mature and I can relate, you know?" Which only made her seem arrogant more than anything. The funny thing is that no one wants to be seen as a person that hangs out with someone younger than them. Oh no, heaven forbid.

Teriyaki Stars 02-21-2009 02:24 AM

Don't care too much about my age.
The only thing is I suuure don't feel
almost 18.

The ages of the people I hang out with
vary from 13 to 21.

About 19-22

★Really, I dunno how old I feel. I'm such a bad guess at age.

★Its really odd. When I was younger, people thought I was older.
For example, when I was 17, a customer of mine at the grocery store guessed me to be 22.
I also had dark hair then, and for some reason, it might actually make a difference, because after I dyed my hair light (read: insane bleach blonde, close to white) people have guessed me younger. *shrug*
But I always say that I'm a 12 year old boy. xD

★Doesn't matter.

★Age is really just a number. I know people who are in their late 20s, and I also have friends who are 15. So yeah. Doesn't really matter to me.
I just don't ever wanna be taken for a creeper. xD

★I've never taken one of those quizzes.
If I have, I don't remember taking it. xD


And for reals, I'm 20 years old.

Cardania 02-21-2009 03:24 AM

I feel like I'm about 28. I've always been mature for my age. I got married at 22. And even though I want to wait 5 more years for children, the back of my head keeps nagging me about it now. Of course I will still wait, but emotionally my mind is a bit ahead of my age.

People always think I look younger for my age, especially before I talk. I've had people ask me "So, what grade are you in?" when I'm already out of college. So I assume they think I'm like 16. But when I chat with someone, my personality comes across as older. I'm usually never carded at the stores. It's weird.

I'm actually quite happy with my age, so I wouldn't want to be older or younger. I look forward to getting older and being a mother (hopefully by age 29-30), but I'm also wanting to enjoy a few more years of finding myself and growing stronger in my marriage.

I don't lie about my age. Really never felt a reason too. I used to be able to get away with passing on a child's admission to stuff when I was 16, so maybe I lied then. But I couldn't get away with it now.

I usually hang out with people older than me. I enjoy having more adult conversations.

I once took a test that said I was mentally 26, so maybe my theory of acting older isn't too far fetched.

My real age is 23. Going to be 24 in May.

cuddlyemokitten 02-21-2009 09:31 AM

I feel older than I am....

People say I look like a middle schooler to a 16 year old

I wanna be 17 forever!

I told people I'm 20...They didn't believe me....

High schoolers...like juniors to freshmen in college.

And I've never taken one of those tests. xDD

Sagitar 02-21-2009 10:10 AM


Well who wouldn't have wanted to be 18 (or 16..) when they were a teenager? :P
ofcourse the official alcohol drinking age and car driving was a huge deal :3
but sometimes as I've grown up and have to face the facts that living costs A LOT
of money, and all sorts of new responsibilities came, I wished that I could be a child forever.. no worries, just play.. :sweat:

havenmasters 02-21-2009 10:17 AM

I'm 24, about to be 25 in April. I'm told that I do not look my age. People always think I'm way younger than I am. Most people assume I'm in my teens. I even had some people just not guess my age, and I have a feeling it's because they wanted to say somewhere around 12 but had a feeling from my expression that I had to be older than that.
I've had lots of people tell me that it is a good thing and that I will appreciate it when I get older. But the problem is, I can't get a job because of it. People won't actually out and say it, but most interviews I have I don't get hired because the person/people think I'm incredibly young.

Sometimes I feel old though. There are things I used to be able to do-like climbing up on the counter to get something from a high shelf-that never bothered me, but now it hurts.
And on my 20th birthday, I sneezed and it threw my back out-I kid you not.

When you're young it's all about getting older, but once you get older, it doesn't matter anymore. Sometimes I forget how old I am, but when I was younger I knew, almost to the day, exactly how old I was.

EpoxyObsession 02-21-2009 12:21 PM

I'm 18 and will be 19 in less than a month.

I've never wished to be younger. I've nearly always wanted to be older, though. I wanted to be 7 so that I could watch Y-7 shows, 10 so I could be double digits, 13 so that I could be a teenager, 16 so I could drive, 17 so that I could see R-rated movies in theatre, then 18 so I'd be a legal adult in most places and all the other privileges that go along with being 18, then 19 so that I'd be a legal adult in my dumbass home state where the age of adulthood is 19, and now 21 so that I can drink.

I think I'll be satisfied with 21, although I don't really have a problem with continuing to age after that. My 20s should be fun because it strikes the right balance between youth and age; my 30s because 30 is the new 25; my 40s because 40 is the new 30; my 50s because you're mid-life and wise, but still young enough to do everything you want to do; my 60s because I'll be approaching retirement (which for me will mean things like travelling the world!); my 70s because I will know so much and will have lived through so much history; and after that we'll see.

It's weird, though. For all my enthusiasm to get older and experience new things, I really don't want to rush through my life. I don't want to skip ahead years or anything, and in fact I want the passage of time to slow sometimes...but I do want to be older so that I can do more shit.

Rabid Rainbow 02-21-2009 03:37 PM

Well, I'm actually 17 but according the my Wii Fit I'm in my 40s. :gonk:

And the best thing about being 17 is that I can go see R-rated movie by myself without having to sneak in. I take joy in small pleasures. xD

I don't really lie about my age to people, because I generally don't have a reason to say I'm 18 or 20 or whatever.

Although I definitely can't wait to be 18 because then I can vote! And get a tattoo except tattoos look painful and I would never get one in the first place.

Vonlyn 02-21-2009 05:53 PM

Let's see here... I feel like I am still eighteen.
According to my dad, I act like I am twelve. I really enjoy asking new people that I have met how old they think I am. Usually, they say twenty-three or twenty-four.
Sometimes I wish I was twenty-one, but overall I am happy with my age.
One time I was at a bar and the bartender didn't card me, so he assumed I was twenty-one! ^^
I have several friends that are the same age as me, but I also have another group that is much older. Ranging from twenty to twenty-seven.
I know that I have taken some tests, but I can't remember what they told me! @[email protected]
My actual age? 19
My birthday is November 12th.

I've always felt older than what I really am. I feel like I'm already 17 or 18.
People say I look like I'm 19 or in my 20's. People say I act like I'm a 3 year old and sometimes they say I act like I'm 25.
I don't care for drinking or smoking or anything like that but I wish I was 21.
I've always told people my real age, well besides when I was younger and much more naive then I am now.
I hang out with people around my age most of the time. Sometimes I hang around people who are 20-23.
I haven 't taken any tests similar to those.
I'm actually 16. ^^

Pandy 02-21-2009 08:30 PM

I tell people I'm eighteen
I hang out with people in their early to mid twenties

I got a Wii fit, and the first time I tried it I was 78 years old! 78!!!!! I was devastated, but all in all not that surprised.

I've worked my way down to 20 and I feel awesome about that. I still feel like I'm in my mid-fifties, but now that I've been a whole lot sicker lately... I'd say I feel like I'm in my early seventies... with both feet in the grave, I just haven't lied down yet:sarcasm:
I feel awful! I hate being sick all the time!!!! (sorry for the whining)

Don't forget to mention your actual age to compare.
For the record, I am sixteen years old.
I feel fifteen, probably because I just turned sixteen and still don't have a drivers' license.
People say I act mature for my age, but never any specific age. They say I look about twelve, though.
I wanna be nineteen. That seems like such a cool age, to someone my age.
I tell people how old I am, unless I forget myself. Recently I've told people, "I'm fifteen... no, wait, I'm sixteen!"
I hang out with my own age group, I guess, but I always hang out with people slightly younger than me. I don't know why, but I seem to subconsciously think people older than me will get fed up with me. >>
Last time I did Wii Fitness (on Wii Sports), it told me I was 25. >>
