Don’t tell me that you were born in January of ’99…

because I was, but I grew up on The Beatles, Scooby Doo, and Batman.  

Close!  I was born February 4th…almost 5th.

As far as TV shows go, I grew up on PBS kid shows, due to the lack of channels we had.  My dad refused to pay anymore than he already was on the TV bill.  My childhood involved

Cyberchase

Dragon Tales

Aurthur

Zoom (when I was really little)

also

The Simpsons

I was born in 1999 so I would say I grew up mostly in the 2000’s, although I am still technically growing up for another 2 months.

You don’t just stop growing once you turn eighteen. What do you think is going to happen to you in the next two months that is going to suddenly make you fully grown? At eighteen years old the human brain is only around halfway through the process of brain development that starts with puberty. Technically you may be growing up for quite a while longer.

My prediction is that in 2 months, when I turn 18, I’ll wake up being able to grow a lot more than 20 hairs on my chin, and I will no longer look like a 12 year old.  I will magically turn into an adult human being.  Is that not how it works?

But to respond to your comment, I was talking about growing up in childhood.  Obviously we are all still growing, but at 18 I’m no longer a child.

Doesn’t quite work like that, man. For me, I moved into my friends house when I was 17 and had various ways to get tobacco and alcohol, so my 18th birthday was just as special to me as my 7th birthday. For you, considering you’re not a high school dropout and you still live with your parents, it might be different for you than it was with me.  

I wasn’t actually being serious.  I’ve been told it’s just being another year older and nothing more.  I’m not really expecting some big metamorphosis or something like that.

Sorry, but no, that’s not how it works. But if this makes you feel any better, when I was seventeen everybody thought I was thirteen or fourteen, but now that I’m nineteen I usually get about sixteen (except that one lady at Chili’s who thought I was twelve).  

Don’t worry I don’t feel bad about looking like I’m 12.  Sometimes I kinda wear it as a badge of honour.  All I have to say to people that are 20 and look 12, is that now when you’re 60, you’ll look 30.

People tell me that I’ll be glad I look young when I’m older all the time, but just because I look young for my age now doesn’t mean I’ll look young for my age forever. My mom looked about fifteen when she was in her early to mid twenties, but now she’s forty and I’m not sure she looks much younger than her actual age anymore.   

My dad is 60, and people are always surprised to hear that because he looks like he’s about 40ish.  My dad is basically me with a mustache, so I’m sure that I’ll look young when I’m older.
