I've had it with feeling feelings

40-50 makes more sense in your case. That's the youth resenting age (by stereotype). Have you kept up with Rosie O' Donnel or Rosanne Barr? They're in the group and they definately clash with the newer crowd. I mean they aren't 100% bad, but they don't say the right thing at the right time, so they definately don't look good.

Demi Moore also fits the age bracket, have you noticed that she's trying to hold on to youth? She might not even realize it, but she definately doesn't want to feel or accept an age beyond 30.

Johnny Depp is also in the bracket, you'll notice that he seems to be settled down. I think he liked acting all along (and little else), do you notice how he gets into his roles completely, you can start with edward scissorhands and look at some of his newer roles, he's a more confident orator than he used to be (less mumbling in his movies, sharper dialogue).

If you don't want to look up to celebrities at a model for this age group, then I can tell you all about people I know in real life, I think you realize at this point that I'll just go on and on because I like to listen to myself type. But I support the 40-50 mentality, you're only as old as you act and you live in a free country. Personally, my age is mood-specific.

its gonna be fun to check back in... 5 years?
and see if you still have all your pesky emotions intact or not

It's a possibility to consider.
... But you don't know if it will or might be next month or in 50 years.

And also, it's not sure: you might as well die in a hundred years and in a very good shape (except a little aging).

So, I think you'd better think of how to get your independance from your family between

One thing I've noticed about the age bracket you're looking at is that they've all come to a realization that they're no longer in their physical prime, and they have to find a way to cope (the mid-life crisis). This one guy went through a nasty divorce and has a complete change in his taste for women, he would go on about PJF (perfect juggle factor), it was funny to listen to because while most guys were drooling over anything they saw in maxim, he was going on about how his kind of woman had to be just a little on the chunky side.

Anyone in this age group is going to have thier differences with someone as young as you, the best way to fit in is to appreciate their age (I think you're set as far as that goes). Resenting your own age in front of them is going to stir some mixed feelings. Some of them want their youth back and won't understand why someone would want to give it up. Some of them understand that aging happens to everyone and will riddle you with advice. I always just listen to the advice myself, a lot of it sounds redundant, but they almost always speak from experience, and anyone who helps to validate their experience is welcome to the fold (this goes for just about any group). If you really want to lose your 18 status, you might want to get in with the 40-50 crowd because if you think like them and talk like them, you'll end up feeling like you're one of them. The drawback here is that you won't feel like their age when you're with them (they defend their age), you'll feel their age when you're with fellow teenagers and people in their early 20's. It's a real eye opener to see someone years older than you do things that go against all common sense, nothing makes you feel old like realizing you showed more restraint than someone like that.

I lost count of how many months it has been since I STILL can't emotionally detatch from myself, and how many months I've gone without obtaining any pot. I was once so desperate, I created a thread asking how to get drugs.
