What in the world can I say is good about 24? At least that hasn't been said by others near my age.

I like this age. I feel so much wiser than I did back in high school. Things that didn't make sense, now do. And in fact I now have a better understanding of why my parents said and did the things they did.

However, when I get with my old friends from high school, i do tend to act less mature. (that's what partying and having a lot of sugar will do to ya)

I like being 42 because I get to vote and stuff. :lol: I also get to watch whatever I want to watch on TV and movies without having to worry about what my mom would say. :)

I'm writing this Sailor Moon/Green Lantern crossover AU fic called "Emerald Sunrise". It's a hybrid of Action/Adventure, Sci-Fi, Romance, and Comedy. It's about Ami (Sailor Mercury) getting a new boyfriend who just happens to be a member of The Green Lantern Corps. I'm also throwing in some other characters from other animes and some old Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the late '60's early '70's. I'm also illustrating it as well. :oops: Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.

I like being 16 because it feels like you're older then you are. You also get a lot of respect from people because 16 is supposed to be a big deal.

Being 25 is good because you don't have too many responsibilities (I don't have a family yet) and you can spend your money, for the most part, as you see fit. Also I'm still fairly healthy. I'm told by my parents that on the day I hit 30 my body will start to break down and I'll be in constant nagging pain.

Although, I'm probably not at the maturity level of other 25-year-olds, so take that into account.

I turned 13 about a month ago. ;)
I like being thirteen because a slightly larger amount of people seem to care about my opinions. It's annoying though, because all of the adults are all, "Ooh, here comes the teenager," which sucks.

What can I say about being 22? Well, voting for me is a big thing!! I don't drink much, thats due to me being a lightweight. I can actually rent a car on my own. I have a house with grass!! I have a husband, a dog, and a good for nothing kitty. And thats about it.

My age has to be about leaving school! That's what I thinks best about being 16 but not only about leaving school, but also earning money from part-time jobs whilst being at college.

I'm still young but old enough to make decisions that I couldn't when I was a teen. But at the same time I do't have to worry much about bills and all that stuff. I live with my parents during the summer, since I'm in college and don't have the money to live on my own. Probably won't ge my own place until I graduate.

I can also drink legally, finally.. jeez It didn't really um prevent me before that but it's still a good thing to know. I would've been able to at 18 if I lived in Canada or many countries in the West Indies. Ans well as vote, drive (those two have been a privelage for awhile but yeah), and vote.

I would think that since you brag about them trusting you, you wouldn't stupidly break their trust by throwing a party anyway.

Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.

Could you please use real words and sentences.

And I think Tiff's point is why would you want to break your parents trust in you? I would think that your parents trusting your decisions would be more important then cleaning up your house.

amen to that. Please don't use abbreviations you would use over msn or aim. Peach said everything much better than I could now.

Lets see... I'm just 17...

Well, I'm allowed to have a part-time job that pays a decent wage, so it means I have more money to buy the things I would like to and have more money for friends/family members birthdays...

My parents trust me more, for example I'm allowed to go to other towns and cities, like London and other places with my friends (It's not that far, only a hour's train trip)...

School is finally decent, all the idiots of have left/been kicked out but everyone is still suitably imature :)...

Oh, and adults finally treat you like a proper person, not as if you are a bratty little teenager (no offense to any bratty little teenagers ;)) lol!...

Oh, and providing you put on enough make up you can get into 18-rated films. *evil laugh*

Sixteen is a good age, because I don't have to worry about the fact that I haven't accomplished anything yet. But that's all going to end in a month when I turn Seventeen on September 4th. Then it's going to be like… "What the hell happened?!"
