now when you move out the house and into your own place thats when it gets tough

You dont have to worry about anything just chill out and hire some mexican slaves around the house or somethin :stoned:

No man, if you have a job BEFORE you move out and on your own, then living without your parents isnt shit. I had jobs 2 years before I moved out of my parents house, and seriously, living on your own is AWSOME. Atleast for me it is. Hell if you want, get your friends to be your roomies. Me and 3 other friends live in a house, we all pitch on rent, electricity, internet, TV and all that other good shit.

ohh man... imalready counting down the days... cause the day im 18... im gonna go take the GED test... and join the United States Marines, to go fight for "my" country, realy, its just my countrys fucking oil rights in afaganistan and iraq.... but im gonna smoke some of that 10ft tall weed, and some afaganistan weed while im there.

damn bro i turn 18 in a couple months and im scared as shit...

I think I just hate people like me. I have to seek out people vastly different from me because when I'm around them I'm less like myself. I figure soon, I will be able to divorce myself from myself and recreate myself into a completely different human bien, the man I've always wanted to be.

Ive always been like that, i always got on better with older people than people my age, all my friends in school were about 2 or 3 years older, but i got alot of mates in their 40's and 50's that smoke up.

18 on the 19th Oct..:)

I turned 18 in Basic Training, joined the Army at 17. I had no parents, the court was my legal guardian, so someone I never met had to sign a form allowing me to join the military that young. It was a pretty bizarre birthday. I was incredibly skinny when I joined, like 100 pounds wet, at 5'10". A drill sergeant saw how skinny I was and took all the cake away from the chubby recruits and gave it all to me. Lol, I pigged out on chocolate cake, with all the chubs glaring at me in anger. ;)

jesus man, im 17 comin up 18 but im from england, which means i left skool at 16, theres nothing to it really, leaving skool just means youll have alot of time on your hands, if you get a job youll soon forget about skool, life without a job sucks though i admit, as for leaving your parents, i dont see the big deal, i hate my parents, lol obviously i do love them but really i cant wait to leave them and not have to bother listening to them, its all about freedom..... lol good luck tho, if you think you need it....

Ha ha! This is the first time I think I've ever heard anyone say they don't want to be 18.

I couldn't wait until I was 18. I could go to the strip clubs, bars, buy smokes (when I smoked ciggs.) I could get into any concert because a lot of them aren't all ages show, but, the only bad thing is when you get into trouble with the law, you go to the big boy jail, not a pre-school juvi. jail. Luckily for me though, I was never a criminal, or not dumb enough to get caught, so I've never been and I plan not to be.

So being 18 has its pros and cons. If you're a deliquent teenager who gets into trouble and already has a record, I know where you'll be when you're of age.
