<p>I am 17 now.</p>
<p>Now I can say I'm a senior in high school and stand tall amongst my senior brethren. </p>
<p>Clap for me.</p>
<p>::Leans back for applause::</p>
<p>clap slap clap. slap. Must be great to finally be getting close to leaving high school. Happy Belated Birthday :)</p>
<p>What the heck are you talking about? Haven't you been a senior for the past 7 months?</p>
<p>I'm 17 too! A friend of mine is still 16 (we're both seniors) and people always crack jokes about us because we're so young... what they forget to add is that we both whoop their butts in calculus and almost every other subject.</p>
<p>Happy Bday</p>
<p>Yes! That's the spirit!</p>
<p>Haha. 17th birthday and driving test = end of this week. I don't think I can parallel park consistently. Not good.</p>
<p>17 represent. I'm a Junior in a college (BYU) where the average age of freshmen guys is about 21... yeah, you can imagine the jokes I'm sure.</p>
<p>wow. tell me your story welshie. start from first grade. what did you skip? FOUR years! did you skip all the even years of elementary school? like</p>
<p>1 -> 3 -> 5 -> 7 -> 9 10 11 12 College</p>
<p>Ha. No. Just a July birthday + skipping 7th grade + APs = lots of credits at young age.</p>
<p>im gonna make my kid go to school early, when they're 6 instead of 7, and then make them skip all the odd years, and then make them take all the APs there ever was to offer 9th 10th grade. and then make then go to college when they are 11.</p>
<p>and then make them do "accelerated" in college, so get master by 15. and then get a 2 phds - philosophy, political science - by 19. There. now i am content with my child</p>
<p>good job....do you want a cookie?</p>
<p>Yes, we all want cookies. Chocolate chip please. ;)</p>
<p>Snickerdoodles, man.</p>
<p>huh hey welshie..you kinda live near me...about 4 hours away..about 1/2 of the people in my school are going to BYU (idaho or utah)......just thought i would post this. lol</p>
<p>I must admit, I'm not a native of Provo (thank heavens). I'm actually from Bakersfield, CA.</p>
<p>Welshie, you're some type of freak of nature.</p>
<p>Do you get poon? Or, do they just shrug you off?</p>
<p>Poon?! I've always associated more with older people (including girls) and apparently looker/act older than my age (I'm often mistaken as a returned missionary {21-year-old} and even had a teammate on my hockey team under the impression that I was 23). As far as "poon" is concerned, my dating life isn't hurt by my age. As a matter of personal belief, I don't sleep with anyone but I date often enough. The extent of which includes women 1-3 years older than myself.</p>
