I'm not going to say my age, but I'm on the younger side of life. Nevertheless, I have some issues that constantly remind of how inconsequential my relative youth is. I feel like I'm physically falling apart every time I make a slight movement and it's horrible.

Pity party over I guess.

Do 40+ people make up half the earth's population, you all die out pretty fast, quite sure India has a remarkably young population.

Yes, I think it's safe to say 40+ is a valid poll option.

Gonna be 30 in October.

I look waaay younger. It's legal to buy alcohol here at age of 18, and about 8 of 10 times they ask documents from me.
I feel okay with my age, as body matter or so, but I wish I could be younger with same knowledge I have know as I would do lot of things differently.

Also it bothers me that some people see it as failure as I don't have family neither successful career yet. Last one bothers me too a little, but I see the reasons why it is like that, first one does not and I don't understand why it would bother anyone- specially strangers.

21, almost 22 (will be 22 on July 18).

Honestly, it's kind of a weird age. Like I still live with my parents and don't have many more responsibilities than what I did in high school, but then some of my friends are the same age as me and are getting married. It still feels surreal to know that people who I grew up with are starting families of their own.

I'm already have a crisis of age at age 21. I'm not old by any means but I don't feel as young anymore.

I almost got married at age 20 but thankfully dodged the bullet, considering how immature and neurotic my girlfriend is.

This girl isn't even talking to me now. She just randomly stopped and got spotted a day later at some other guy's house so I know whats up.

Eh. You’ll hit crisis periods as you age several times. It’s really not the number but rather where you are in life by what age that can trigger a crisis.

Well I'll be 30 in a few years.But when I shaved off and walked outside, I was accosted by high school girls several times.Although it may have something to do with my dressing style, they asked me which high school I was from nearby in the first sentence.Ahhh It makes me happy for a long time.But when I was in high school, I didn't shave. I was often called Uncle by my classmates.

16 for me was the peak of the teenage hormone years, being horny all the time and getting into rows with my parents (especially my dad).

Wait, whom am I kidding? In some form that lasted from about 12-13 until I left the house for college, though I would consider 16 to be the true apex of it.

16 was when I finally turned my life around, or was starting to. Before age 15 I was totally out of control and around 15 to 16 I started making the effort to get away from shitty friends of mine and bad influences.

I am 24 years old, but will be 25 come October. To be honest, I do not like being in my mid-20s as it makes me feel, well, old, despite what others say. I wish I could be a few years younger (around 20) and I very much still feel like I am a kid inside. Of course, because of my small size and rather feminine facial features, a lot of people mistake me as someone in their early or mid-teens which is a double-edged sword. On the one hand I look pretty young and I like the reactions people have when I tell them that I am really a 24 year old guy. On the other hand, I have been denied entry into bars and R-rated movies because of my appearance with many thinking that I am a minor using a fake driver's license.


Being Asian, having long hair, and not having a beard all contribute to an outwardly youthful appearance. When it comes to Caucasians, underestimate their age. With East Asians, overestimate their age, because East Asians age more gracefully. Or that's what I've heard anyway.

If seeing that R-rated movie is really such a big deal for you, try growing a beard, shaving your hair off, and undergoing racial reassignment surgery. You can always revert when you're done. :p
