When I was 12, that's when I went to college. All my friends were 20, 21, and I was 12. It didn't even occur to me that that was strange.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.
I don't think I really realized what being an adult and being a real grownup was until I was at least twenty-eight.
I had barely turned 12 when my parents packed me off to Doon School. I was transported to a world of confusion with 600 other kids, no home-cooked food, no made-to-order clothes. It was a shock, but I adjusted.
I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.
I was in high school, and when you get to be 14, 15, you start to feel a little more like your own person so that you can assert your adulthood a little bit.
I've always wanted to be older, as I think it's all right to be a little bit odd when you're out of your 20s.
I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.
By the time I turned 12, I was a 5-foot 10-inch social disaster. Towering over my friends was the bane of my adolescence.
By the time I was 12, I was reading my parents' books because there weren't teenage books then.
I was having my teens in my 30s.
