I’m 16. In 67 days, I will be 17 (drivers license, anyone?) I’m going to be a senior next year - 20 days left of school this year. Then a year left. So, d’you think it’s bad that senioritis kicked in for me somewhere around halfway through junior year? I’ve got an english paper I’ve been writing for three weeks due in a day or two. ---

1 year and 4 months left of this hell called the Teen Years. Then for another year I’ll be in the godforsaken limbo of “20” where I’ll no longer be a teenager, but still can’t legally drink. When it’s gone, Good frigging riddance, I’ll say. 18 here. ---

I had this image of myself as a lone wolf type, prowling amongst the older, enlightened crowd unnoticed. Ah well \*\* Yeah, I’m with you. I’m so confused that some of these peoples that I though were old and wise, are just young…and wise… **Loneraven, Iampunha, Miss Magic8Ball, Blalron, Speaker for the Dead, Mirror Image egamI rorriM, green\_bladder, DreadCthulhu, Already in Use, Vixenation** , collectively, you have broken my heart for the above reason.

Rachel. I’m 19. I’m going to be twenty in four days, so I figure I’d better post now. I’ve had two years of college so far, and I’m graduating with a BA in December. I don’t know what grade that makes me; come up with your own interpretation. ---

I’m 16, turning 17 in less than a month. Going into my senior year of high school. I’ve noticed that most of our under-20 club have low post counts (myself included), is this because of hectic schedule (my excuse) or of low interest? ---

I’m 15, been here since I was 13 or so. I’m finishing the tenth grade soon with honours etc. Um… No plans for the future besides getting rich and retiring early. And maybe taking a few naps along the way. Mmm naps… ---

I’m 16 until August 30, then I’ll be 17. Another year in the ninth circle of hell, known only as high school. I’m an idiot, or so it seems to all outward appearences. The “smart” people hate me, because I’m that guy who doesn’t do any homework, yet I consistently have the highest tests grades in the class. One more year to go! ---

**lynne\_killi** , I sure hope you recognize me! And **Jim** , I’m another vote for the “lack of time” excuse. School takes up too much of my percious posting time. They should really do something about that… ---

Also, I find it hilarious that **lynne\_kilii** thought I was a grownup. As to not having enough time to post because of school, I get on the boards all the time at school. I finish my math early, then get on the computer. ---

I am that one kid that infamously kills threads. Maybe I am SO insightful that no one else has anything to say. Either that, or I just make everything so dull that no one else would bother to continue the thread. I posted a stupid “Ask the!” thread. My name is very unrecognizable. I called someone retarded, and was then hounded for not being PC. It doesn’t get anymore teenager than that. 18 and a half, out of Cinci. ---

I used to get on the boards a lot at school because I would finish my English papers and such long before anybody else, but sadly, my school’s technology head has blocked the boards :mad: Why? We’re not really sure why. She’s never had a reason for blocking anything else, either, though, so I shouldn’t be surprised. Why does my school have to employ a computer nazi?☹ ---

You’ve got it easy **JimSox** , my school blocked it’s own homepage. There are a total of maybe 35 sites on the whole internet that you can still go to. OH THE HUMANITY! ---

Eep.

I’m 18, 19 in July. I just finished my first year of college. I figure to get acknowledged as existing on these boards somewhere around post 6000.
