Turning 17 next year...

[Pipe Dreams]

well im 18 in a few weeks and to be honest - to me its not that much of a big change, you think it is because it sounds like a big thing but its not, as long as you still live with your parents everything stays the same, they do the washing food pay the bills etc lol

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.

I wish I could go ahead and be old. I've always wanted to be old and have always enjoyed the company of old people more than kids my age. One of the greatist relationships I've ever had was with my grandfather on my dad's side. I would listen to him tell stories literally for hours on end and I never got bored. 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.

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....

...And I dont want to . As much as I hate living in a house with my parents and dealing with their bull shit when I was thinkin about the fact that I will be grown after next year it hit me like "whao". How did you guys take it when you realized that you were gonna be 18 soon? lol

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.
