As long as you're in highschool, you're young.
Once I graduated I felt very old. I'm 20 now.

I feel old but I don't act it. I still like all the things I used to like. Only difference now is I have to juggle my likes with work.
Work sucks.

 

I started feeling old around elementary school. Felt that way ever since.

 

I just hit 30 ten days ago. Your post made me sad.

 

I work every morning and night. I wake up at 5 to be at work by 6 (even though it's literally a 30 second drive, but its the only time I get a ride) and I work until 730. Same at night, I work at 5 until 630. But because my shifts are short, I'm forced to literally go weeks, sometimes more than a month, without time off. And it doesn't sound that bad, but when you have to take care of and milk 50 cows every single day, it gets exhausting. lol

 

I'm 38 and feel better than I did at 28. I used to drink and party too much back then. Respect your body and being old is nothing to worry about.

 

Kill Harry Potter.

 

20 and definitely miss them 16-18 years of age
all wasted..

I dont feel old, but just regret not making the best out of school life and shit

 

17 Old? Pft. When I was 17 my mother died of cancer, I stayed home schooled my senior year to care for her... I left home the day she died 2 days before 18th Bday.....(before I graduated) and father disappeared ( good riddence) She was 43 years young... smoking....


I turn 49 this year and have medical bills far in excess of $2000.00 a monthly EVERY month...most are meds alone... 12 invasive surgeries, 2 terminal illnesses, a daughter 17, plus 2 ex wipes.. er I mean ex wives.... I remember when pong was intro'ed and pacman went home console (and arcades still featured Pin Ball machines as cutting edge)
The beatles were just introed in the US when I was born, my sisters saw them live...

and I still think and far too often act in my twenties... Im a USAF military Veteran since the 80's..Yeah I'm old....

17? Pfftt. Your best years are probably ahead of you still. Grab hold of a dream and hold tight, don't let anyone say it can't be done.. there's nothing dreamed that can't be done.

To quote a favorite movie... The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'..... "I've lived long enough to see the future become history... Empires crumble... there are no exceptions..." -Dorian Grey to M.

PS leave recreational drugs and alcohol alone, they are NOT worth the 'time released' results... (not the reason for my health personally....)

I have two degrees and before you think I'm playing one upsman crap, with the exception of two unrelated topics for which I was university educated, every kid less than 28 in here is probably more intelligent than I am with thier HS diploma...
