If you have one of course.

okay so i turn 18 in 32 days - the 20th of september- and i honesty don’t know how to feel about this. i feel like im still such a baby i just can’t wrap my head around the fact ill be a whole ass ADULT?? did/ does anyone else feel the same? like mentally i feel like im still 12 😭

also be honest- after turning 18 did any of you guys feel any different or do you feel the same?
everyone talks about turning 18 as such a huge life changing experience and i’ve kind of been doubting it but maybe i just don’t know what i’m on about. i’m in australia so ill be able to vote and drink and do everything when i turn 18 but i know it’s a lot different in other countries like america where you fully gain all your rights when you’re 21..
anyways lmk you’re experiences and thoughts on turning 18!

guys I'm 18 but legit barely have any friends after graduating back in june

where tf do yall find ppl your age to be friends with?? I'm going to community college next month but ik like most of the students there will be middle aged people. I also tried finding meetup groups online or on facebook and stuff but thats also full of middle aged people

and yes I go outside, I hike and go roller blading sometimes, im kinda just a loser

all i have is a yart and a dream

Did anyone else have a phase in middle school where they would talk really formally with precise grammar to seem more interesting?

I feel like this can’t just be me 😭

I have one from elementary school that's it

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m 18 years old and from France 🇫🇷, and I’m looking to meet some new people around my age who might be crazy enough to join me for an unforgettable weekend at Defqon 1 2027 !!!
I absolutely LOVE Hardstyle, Rawstyle. Music is a huge part of my life, and Defqon 1 has been a dream of mine for a long time. The problem is… none of my friends are really into this kind of music, so I have nobody to go with. 😭
So I thought: why not find some people online who are just as passionate about Hardstyle as I am?

I’m looking for 2-3 people, ideally around 18-21, who would be interested in: Going to Defqon.1 together, possibly camping together.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, send me a DM! Even if you’re not 100% sure yet, let’s talk and see if we get along. ❤️

and how do you get one 😭 please i’ve applied to superstore and walmart like 300000 times they’re probably sick of me 💀 i just want some cash bro

Help a brother out, much appreciated 🙏

I get so surprised seeing kids born in 2010-12 and thinking that they’re still like 11-13 still but then realizing they’re all in high school!! 😭😭 I feel so old already as an 2008, can’t believe I’m already an adult

Drop some fun ideas to do

How do you all find the reason to keep pushing forward in our modern society that seems to be heading off the deep end?

When you’re a child and teenager, you’re the future of society. People and the media pay more attention to you by default, because you’re who will be replacing them in due time. Your development and well-being matters. I’m some ways, you’re “special” simply for being a minor.

Once you turn 18, that’s all over. Your shuffled with the rest of the adults. You’re the same as everybody else. You don’t really matter anymore. Your job is to maintain society now. You aren’t nearly as interesting.

Could you not get up, look at your phone, just sit down and watch a movie without any boredom and distraction? For how long?

Social media ruins our lives. And I'm going to find out almost how much it does. By eliminating most of it of course.

I just got a dumb phone today and I will be trying to get rid of my smart phone as well.

It's not just because of my attention span but I want to sit down and read a book for a few hours.

I would go without social media completely it's just that I send people I know videos back and forth and it's one of the only ways I connect with people. Outside of the family I live with of course.
