"Some would say you’re at an awkward stage
You’re an adult, but not at the 21 age
But I know whatever you do you’ll do just fine
You show what a great kid you are all the time
That’s why wishing you only good things is easy to do
Have a fantastic 19th birthday; all the best to you"
- Happy Birthday Lines
Turning 6, you go to school. Turning 10, you're in double digits. Turning 13, you're a teen now. Turning 15, you get a permit. Turning 16, you can drive. Turning 18, you're an adult. Turning 20, you're no longer a teen. Turning 21, you can drink. Turning 19...
That awkward birthday.
It's your last year as a teenager, but you're not quite an adult. You're treated as one, yet you're still practically a child.
No one really cares about your 19th it seems. There's no hype. Nothing big.
If you're on the younger side of your friends, everyone is celebrating adulthood and drinking.
If you're on the older side, you're awkwardly older and won't have anyone to celebrate the coming years with.
The articles about being 20 something are just teasers.
Being able to drink (legally) is so far away (making 20 a sucky b-day, too).
College is practically half way over. You're over halfway to being halfway to being halfway to being done!
You can't figure you how to "life."
You're broke. Nobody will hire the person that lacks experience, but you're not old enough to have experience.
Being a teenager is so lame. You're ready to move on with it.
On the positive side... You're close to beating teen pregnancy! (Probably.)
Whatever you're most upset about, you're not going through it alone. Everyone has to go through it at some point. Unless you were 13 going on 30!
