don't know, I guess I don't really take the whole "growing up" seriously as I should.

I know what you mean. There is a part of me that doesn't really want to grow up. I find growing up rather scary actually since sometimes it means we have to change. No one could ever guess I was 21 with the way I act except when I'm at work, or when I'm at school.

I'm not sure if this is a generic thing or not [if I was, then I wouldn't be making a thread], but since I've turned sixteen I feel much more ... cocky. Arrogant? Nah, not quite, but I definitely feel this sense of being slightly more untouchable :P

Long-story short, have you felt the same after a birthday?

Not...really.

Maybe it's like senior-itis, the condition where highschool seniors act all high and mighty because they're at the peak of the school in terms of grade level.

I dunno. Anyway, I don't feel different after birthdays.
 
I feel like im gradualy becoming a grumpy old man as each year passes. I'm only 19 but I can moan like a git>_<
 
Why would you be conceited and arrogant at such a young age? When you're fending for yourself in such a difficult world whilst everyone about you are falling down, then you have reason to feel particularly 'untouchable'.

I would say that the most empowering thing is to fly the nest, leave the family home. It makes you feel as if you're no longer bound by rules or the feeling that you're a dependent; being an adult is great for those of us who hated the domineering aspect of being a school student.

You're about to undergo the most difficult three / four years of your life now, Riku. I'd probably say that (learning from experience) that keeping your feet on the ground right about now is the best possible thing you can do.
 
iv barely felt any different im sure im still as immature as i ever was.....im 25 in a fortnight and im going out dressed as a fairy..........il be 15 forever i think (in my head anyway xD)
 
I never feel older after birthdays. Despite the fact that I never tout my birthday or announce it or anything, people find out anyway and host a party. xD
It doesn't make me feel arrogant or some other superior or older feeling 'cause it's just a birthday - an arbitrary date that really doesn't mean anything other than that's when you slid on to the birthing table. xD
 
Although I got older and every teacher excepts me to act my age, I just act the same as I have since age 12, by telling random jokes, drawing in class when I shouldn't, just feeling like I still have no 50 Ton shackles on me, for me that big age change might have "Missed the Mark" on me.
