I was looking at the people pages, and it seems that we have a hole in the doper demographic. Are there any other dopers out there who are under 21? I’m gonna be a soph in high school. Band together, fellow underagers! We can’t buy guns, vote, drink, some of us can’t drive, but, um, well, we… can party! Better than the geezers who hang out here! Show yourselves!
Chill, Red. There are plenty of underage people here. I’m 20 and going into my junior year in college. Just because most people don’t post their age, doesn’t mean they aren’t out there…so just relax.
No, there are no other underage dopers. It is a conspiracy against you. Now, little one, come over here. I need you to take your pants off and look directly into this bright light. ::puts on my dark glasses:: Now, I need you to repeat after me. It was all in my head. This is just a dream. It isn’t real. It was all in my head. This is just a dream. It isn’t real. It was all in my head. This is ju…
Seriously, I’m under 21. I’m 19. If that makes you feel any better. I will not, however, “band together” with you. Why?
A)Cults scare me and are something that I would rather not be involved in.
B)I rather like the “geezers” here.
Sheesh, Red! For a minute I thought you were soliciting offers. Sorry, but I’m 24.
Damn smilies.
You kids keep it down! I’m trying to get some sleep!

Excellent, Guy Propski was here first; I think he’s gonna get to chaperone this little soirée. Now, who’s seen my teeth?

There damn well better not be any underage dopers here. It’s bad enough when they are underage drinkers. Why, sure, I experimented with pot when I was in high schoool, but that doesn’t mean…
::reads OP::
Oh, um…nevermind.
::hangs head in embarrassment, wanders off::
Oh great, the old guys are here. Well, there goes the fun. I think I am guilty of over-use of exclamation points.
Hey! Who you callin’ old? I’m 33. Don’t make me kick your ass. Of course…the ol’ back is kinda acting up and the knees ain’t what they used to be, but I can still…Ah, hell…I’m leaving.
I’m only legal in West Virginia and The Netherlands.

I can buy rifle & shotguns (unless they changed in the last 2 months), vote, and drive

:::inserts tin horn into ear, looks over top of glasses:::
Eh? What’s that, sonny? Sand forever, yellow undergarments? You can’t buy gum? Sheesh, you kids mumble!
Now turn that music down and get out of my way before I thwack you with my cane, you whippersnapper! Why, back in my day, the young people showed some respect for their elders! Heavens to Betsy, you kids today haven’t got the sense that God gave a goose!
:::slings purse over elbow, leans on cane, shuffles off:::
By the way, I’m 33, and I’ve forgotten more about partying than you’re ever gonna learn. Punk.
I’m 16 and will be a Junior in HS this upcoming year.
Im 16 and a Junior. And I am not under age as much as (crap i can’t think of good pun)a well never mind.
Underage…under the influence…underwater…under the effects of writing to SDMB entirely too much…
I dunno, at least one of those
Well, I’m 17 and going into my senior year of high school, but I don’t think of myself as ‘underage’. I think as long as you can get away with doing stuff without being carded, you’re not underage.
But do you mean underage as in under 21 or underage as in under 18 and being a minor?
Lesse… I’m 17 I’ve never partied but I’m willing to learn how grins I’ll be legal in 4 months though… at least where I live… which is Alberta, Canada…
…legally, sure. I’m 20, and will have a rockin’ blowout in 4 months. Of course, when you grow up 15 minutes from a Canadian province where the legal drinking age is 18, it’s a bit anticlimatic.
Swimming Riddles, I sort of agree, but it isn’t because of where I live that makes the 21st b-day anticlimatic <december for me>, it’s college. Let’s hear for the fraternity parties!
