Well, I’m not 13, but I’m still a teen. I’m Amy, I’m 18, and I’ll be attending Metro State College of Denver just as soon as I get my letter 🙂 I’m not the youngest, but in other (completely random) news, I got pulled over today for going 13 over, and DIDN’T get a ticket. Boo-ya, lucky me, I swear I’ll go the speed limit!! I was petrified (don’t tell anyone) and I think the police officer saw that. ---

When I joined I was still a teenager, but that changed two birthdays later. Add another one and you got me. My hunny, however, is still a teenager (although only for about another 8 months or so). In one of the prior iterations of this thread there was _someone_ who was 13, and a friend of his who was very close to his friend’s age. Also there’s Garf and Zoggie, who IIRC are still not yet 20. **SterlingNorth** , you still a teenager? I think you are but I’m not totally sure. And lastly, I know **Monster104** \* and **Nocturne** used to be teenagers … I don’t know if they’re 20 yet but it wouldn’t completely surprise me.

Geneva Age 19, will no longer fit this category once November rolls around… Going to be a sophomore next year (at Reed College). I’ve gone through fits and starts of lurking, though… I think my first was at age seventeen or so. I think perhaps all the teen Dopers should form one of those big Japanese-style pop bands, and as soon as each of us turn twenty, we “graduate” from the group. We can call ourselves, “Gotcha Ya!” Male teen Dopers, prepare for stupid boyband hair. Female teen Dopers, prepare to wear a square foot of fabric between all of us. I like the sound of this. ---

Iona, aged sixteen, and surprised I was mentioned in the OP. I have finished my two GCSE years and am in the process of actually taking all seventeen of the damn exams (two down). Can’t really post anything teenageriffic, but I did think of another teenage Doper: **Ryan\_Liam** (don’t look at me like that). So, have any of us young ones been to Dopefests? And one more thing - **Kid Czarcasm** really is **Czarcasm** ’s kid? Cuuute. ---

My name’s Denise, age 15, and I joined when I was 13… does that count? There are about five more weeks till the end of 9th grade… Stupid Taiwanese schools. Bleagh. I tried introducing my friends to this site (all classmates: **Wind Sorceress** , **Dragon Shadow** , **Frosfir** , and… um. One more, who started the “Quee” thread. I can’t remember her username ^^;;\*\*\*\*) but they all complained that it was boring. Grownups :rolleyes: 😃 And isn’t **Mudshark** 16 or something? ---

I’m Harry, 17 and currently supposed to be revising for my As-Level modular exams in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. They suck, and I need to do well. Instead of posting something teenageriffic then, I’ll go and do some revision (supposedly). Cheers, Harry ---

I’m 19. I’m just finishing my 3rd semester of uni. But, I don’t feel like a teenager. Four reasons I think: - here you can do all “the adult things” at 18. - I work with kids, which makes me feel old. - I’ve done 1.5 years of uni. - 90% of my friends are over 20. So, I guess I’m a teenager in body but not in spirit. 🙂 ---

Hey everyone! I’m 16, nearly 17 and i’m in the same exam situation as Loneraven, only i’ve done a lot more than two already. I hope to be doing A Levels next year if i pass enough of my GCSEs and since I’m new to posting here i should tell you some more about myself. Maybe later. ---

**Dawne** - I’m interested to know how you’ve done “a lot more than two” already. I’ve done English Lit and Drama, and the only other possibilities I could think of that you might have done were Spanish, German and PE. And welcome to the boards!
