I stopped after I was 9 because I decided there's nothing special about it.

I remember celebrating it only once in my life when I turned 9.

Sort of, although when does it stop being socially acceptable to celebrate your birthday? I'm always worried that I'm "too old" for that in the eyes of other people.

They say you're never too old to celebrate it.

Yes, I do. I didn't like it for a while because I felt I was getting older without having achieved anything. Now, it's different. I do enjoy time spent with family and friends on that special day.

I still celebrate it, and everyone in my family celebrates theirs, too. You're never too old. :)

Mine was this week. Sometimes I feel sad for getting older, but then I realise it's only one day older than I was the day before. I see getting a new number as my age as being sort of like when it's a new year and everything is like a nice fresh start.

I never really been into it or celebrating special days but my parents were into it some. I did like getting presents & cake. They quit celebrating it as much after I was out of high-school but I still always got a cake till I moved across the country to be with my girlfriend but Cass usually makes me a cake.

I don't celebrate it, but the family does.
