How young is young?

[JayEgo]

As this is the youth centre, I don't personally spend a lot of time in here. I tend to leave this domain to those who consider themselves 'young'? But am I missing out entirely? Is this for the young or the young at heart?

To discover just who's here, I figured I'd create a poll asking just how old all the forum visitors are... Do enjoy voting, posting and commenting ;)

Young adult here! :bouncy: I'm 22! :good:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

I'm a youth of Today! We are the future! ;)

[Keita]

Yup. But you'll have to wait your turn until WE'RE done with it! :evil:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Oh sure, then we get left with all the mess to clean up :roll: :razz:

[Keita]

Hehe! I'm sure you're up to it! :evil:

[Beisla]

I'm 20, so young adult.

I definitely feel more 'young' than 'adult'. :D

[Keita]

Know the feeling... :D

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

When will you learn to take responsibility and clean up after yourselves? :p

[Lady Legira]

28 and stick my head round the door here sometimes ;)

I'm 40 and occasionally will read interesting looking threads if they are at the top of the queue on the front page.

:note:We are we are teh youth of the nation:note:

Nough said!

[Anareth]

I guess I'm young at heart, but eek! When did I cross from "young adult" into "old grup" territory?

[Wolfegar]

Young is young, old is old and timeless is timeless.

Apparently when you turned 26!

I guess I'm considered a young adult even though I feel like an "old grup". I'm only twenty-three but when I get around people my age I feel old. Being married with two kids will do that to ya. :roll:

[Priscilla]

Welcome, geishagirl! Hmmmm, I seem to remember a Star Trek, original series episode where the Enterprise sent down a team to a planet where all the adults had died of a disease that only afflicted adults and that it was afflicting the children as they reached puberty and they also died. The planet was run by the kids left from that colony, it was rather like a tamer version of Lord of the Flies. The kids called adults "grups" - their language had gotten changed and shortened from years of not having anyone around to teach them to speak correctly. I've always sworn I'd be an adult (when I have to) but NEVER a grup!! :D That is why I'm Queen of Wild Things! :devil:

[Milo]

A wee lad. But I listen to old music :razz:

[Blue Moon]

I voted as being 18, as my b-day is a week sunday. I post here cause this forum seems to be geared towards junior and senior high school students, and the people here have more in common with me than others on this board.

Why should we when you can do it for us? :evil:

One of my favorite Star Trek episodes! :ok: Young at heart, since I'm in my 40s now. I sure don't feel that old. :roll:

[xpod]

I'm 29 and I fluctuate between moods. I feel young when I'm in front of my PS2 :bouncy: and old when I wake at 5 :) in the morning to prepare for work. I feel even much older when that little girl across the street refers to me as "that man" :sad:

The thing is, I still do a lot of things I did in my teens (comics, fantasy, comp games, etc). I just don't see why being older means I have to stop the things I enjoy :ok:

[Dawn]

Young at heart - 33. :ok:

I read the threads and if there's something I can post to, I do. :D

[Bardmaiden]

Young at Heart - 27 :D

[Bardmaiden]

28 and stick my head round the door here sometimes ;)

:erm: You're not 28 until June Dear....

[cewp]

I come to this forum because there are some really interesting topics.

[C_ris]

20. so, by this defintion 'young adult'. But I find that term offensive... :evil:

It seems that from 18-21 odd then we are classed at 'kids' or as 'adults' depending on what the 'older' people in society want from us.
An example of this is in the University education system, where our loan is deoendant on our PARENTS income, yet we are expected to start paying interest on this loan before we have a chance to be able to earn money to pay it off!

The term 'young adult' is just a get out clause. (But I am not offering an alternate :p)

[JayEgo]

:erm: You're not 28 until June Dear....Or, you're perhaps both 29 in June...?

One of you is wrong, that's for sure! :evil:

[Ryuu]

Ja¥son xxit's probably just senility creeping into their math, J :devil:

& that reminds me of the other StarTrek(tos) where Kirk, Spock, and McCoy were afflicted by rapid aging--another good one :ok:

[T'ley]

I am almost 18 so i put that (as in one week on wednesday. I am able to vote by 1 day!!!!!!!!!) :bouncy:

[Tabra]

I'm the same age as Dawn and Granth.

[queenrider melody]

Youth of today....Adult of tomorrow! 11 years old and proud of it!

[Kemala]

Am 29 and just read/post whatever looks interesting :)

[Milo]

So's you! :razz:

[C_ris]

and your THREE years older than me? :razz:
four, currently! :p

[woollymouse]

I went with the PMD's but I'm really just young at heart. The PMD's looked lonely ok.

[DragonShadow]

I will be 13 as-of may 9th... so Youth of today deffenatly!

[GoldriderAria]

24... so technically young adult.... but I tend to have an old soul and a youthful spirit! ;) At least, many things from decades before my birth were involved in my youth, so I don't consider a lot of things 'old' that technically are. OLD has to be at least over 100 for me. *grins*

~Aria

[Danae]

I'm a young adult, 18. I hate being termed a young adult. My mom says it means I have to start paying my own bills and if I live at home any longer, rent. It also means I have to work. :crazy:

[Lady Legira]

Or, you're perhaps both 29 in June...?

One of you is wrong, that's for sure! :evil:

Ja¥son xx

:erm: I got it wrong :blush:

i got that in a birthday card.

"You might be older than you've ever been before but you're younger than you'll ever be again!!!!"

[Calaedros]

Hmm, looks like I missed the poll :)

I'm 20, and still pretty young ;) Half way to 40, though :eek:

[Jayen]

I'm 17. But I'm turning 18 in a month and a half. So I guess that kind of makes me on the cusp between youth of today and young adult. Lol.

[Harper X]

[Dawn]

Welcome to the KT, Jayen & Harper X! :wave:

[Harper X]

thanks

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

LoL.. I'm a LITTLE late in this post, but I'm 23, and I consider this a place I can come too!! :D

[McClance]

"Old" and "young" are relative concepts.

[Keio]

I'm only 11. And really, it stinks at the moment.

[T'ley]

Keio, it gets better.

[McClance]

I'm only 11. And really, it stinks at the moment.

Enjoy it while you can. There things you can do at 11 that you can't do when you're older.

I can't think of what at the moment, but there are.

[Lady Miacara]

Young at heart... will be 32 in November but reliving young again through my 2 sons, who are 2 and 4 respectively and hopefully one day Anne McCaffrey fans themselves and members of the board. :)

[CritterFiend]

I am a youth of today.....

[skysong]

I am 19, but I will be 20 in January. When you are between the ages of 18 to 21 it can really confusing. At age 18 you can smoke, but you cannot drink, you can be drafted by the U.S goverment, but you can vote, but not rent a car :roll: to be an adult or not to be an adult?
