<p>Happy birthday!</p>
<p>I’m solely 17.</p>
<p>^ Thanks! :D</p>
<p>“How many of you are 18?”</p>
<p>Me! 
It feels exactly the same as being 17 though, very anticlimatic…</p>
<p>yes .</p>
<p>Turned 18 a few days ago</p>
<p>16 and graduating in two months.
I was too young to sign up for Driver’s Ed at the beginning of the year. I’m probably the only senior at my school who can’t drive. :D</p>
<p>^… for reals? That’s insane.</p>
<p>hey mudskipper! we must be twinsies! for i am also 16 and graduating in 2 months AND i still can’t drive… XD</p>
<p>^ My previous statement applies for you too = p</p>
<p>turned 18 in February 
Doesn’t feel different, but when someone hears 18 they think of a <em>completely</em> different age than when they hear 17. At 16 i was told i look older than 16, and at 4:30 AM at the airport when my dad sang happy birthday, some lady came up to me and said “dammmmmmmmmm son you 18? I woulda guessed 16”. lol</p>
<p>I’m the youngest kid in the Class of 2010 at my school. If I were born one day later, I’d be class of 2011. I’ll be 18 on August 31st.</p>
<p>Because of this I’ll be 17 when I start college =/</p>
<p>^ That sucks! Well, at least you’ll be 17 for a couple of days only of college. :)</p>
<p>I’m a Senior and I’m 17. I’ll be 17 when I start college which really sucks. All I really care about, though, is that I can vote at 17 in Maryland!</p>
<p>^ Dude I’m not the only one!</p>
<p>And you can vote at 17 in MD? huh?</p>
<p>Maryland (as well as some other states) has a law that says if you are 17 during the primary elections, but will be 18 before the general elections, then you can vote in the primary elections. For example, my birthday is September 30. The primaries are in early September. I will be 17 then. But I will be 18 by November/general elections, so I can vote in the primaries. I hope that explanation makes sense, lol.</p>
<p>I was sixteen for the majority of the year, but turning seventeen next month (April) and will be that age in my first year of college, not legal until my first Spring Break as a college freshman! GO!</p>
<p>@ cody2010, samesies. Ill be 17 when I start college. Born a day later and I would be in the class of 2012</p>
<p>I’ll be 18 on the 30th. :)</p>

Hi. Fellow Rooster here. :)</p>
<p>Anyone born after February 1993 is no longer the Monkey but the Rooster. Born April 1993, I’m also a Rooster and will be turning seventeen in April, receiving my diploma in May, and starting college early for the summer in June. Done before eighteen!</p>
<p>Cody2010, I’m shocked that you’re the youngest! August 1992, too, like Frances Cobain! Some seniors are as young as May or July 1993!</p>
