My impression is that there are a few. I believe \*\*Aslan \*\* is fifteen years old, (from the Ask the Teenager-Thread) and so is **if-you-don’t-know-I-won’t-tell**. ---

I think I was 15 when I signed up in 2000. (old account, I informed the administrators) ---

I was 15 when I signed up in 1999. Geeze…5 years ago… But yeah, there are a few of us on the younger end of the timeline around. ---

Oh, cool! Whenever I lurk around these boards, I feel like such a kid because everyone else here seems so smart and a lot of what they say just goes way over my head. 😃 ---

There’s a handful of people about your age running around, some have been named, some haven’t. **ZebraShaSha** is 16 if I remember correctly. Hey, I’m old enough…to be your older sister! ---

I was 14 when I signed up in 2000. Also, my brother (who’s fifteen) sometimes tells what to post in Halo threads (and enjoys reading the rest of the board). ---

I think I was…sixteen, maybe, when I signed up, so that would’ve been two years ago. I’m still a teenager (unfortunately). ---

I’m sixteen as of November 23rd. And **TheOnlySaneOne** isn’t much older, either. There are a few of us young’uns around. ---

I’m 31, meaning that, biologically, I’m old enough to be your father. I’m… old… enough… to… be… your… father. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! For some reason, this is the first time I’ve had that revelation with someone old enough to converse with me as an equal (ie, were both dopers). I mean, sure, I’ve met babies and toddlers for whom that was true, but 15 is only 3 years from 18, and 18 is legally an adult, and I’m _also_ legally an adult, and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! That means that you probably (correct me if I’m wrong on any of these): -don’t remember a time before Clinton was president -don’t remember the Soviet Union at all -have never used a record player, except perhaps as an oddity -don’t remember a time before The Internet -don’t think the music I like is cool (no, wait, I forgot, even the people in _my_ generation don’t think the music I like is cool) -never paid a quarter to play a video game -don’t remember when _Batman_ or _Terminator 2_ or _Wayne’s World_ or _Jurassic Park_ were released -speaking of which, you probably don’t remember a time before computer-generated special effects -absolutely positively think of me (31) as a grownup. Not a young adult. Not a cool young grownup who’s fun to hang around with. But a grownup. “Mr. TheVool”, you might call me if we met -are sick of people like me going on in shock about things like this [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-dopers-here-my-age-15/278526.md?page=2)
