Sixteen times this dumb fucking computer has frozen or otherwise dealt me an inconveniencing blow. I mean what the hell are you supposed to do about that. Huh??? I ask you. I’d rather be dealing with a sixteen year old daughter than this piece of unwieldy unhelpful obnoxious shite. Honestly! Trouble, nothing but trouble. I tells ya.
Danielle
She didn’t feel any older. AFter all, she had been fifteen just yesterday. She had no reason to. No car, or anything. It was just another day, except with birthday cake and lots of friends. And yet, she was so inexpressibly grateful.

oh, sweet sixteen
too hurried to grow up
wanting independence

Sweet sixteen. The year everyone got a car. The year every girl was treated like some special princess. Well, she got a car all right. And she was treated like a princess. But she couldn’t help thinking she was one year closer to her death, to being older. Such a bleak morning.
marie
what a long long time has passed since then. it’s not just a number, it’s a time in my life. not one I remember so well — but that it meant i was ‘sweet’ maybe.
I know that things have gone incredibly fast since then.

16. the year i turn 16 and become secondary 4. it’s a crazy year, this one, the one we finish our finals in ip and go onto the next stage. another similar stage where we just learn and absorb and memorise until we nearly burst, regurgitating all we have read onto a few random pieces of paper. with ink and blood and sweat we fill up those blanks with nothing but nonsense. nonsense we’ll never reuse ever again.

Sixteen. An age that you start to feel the world for what it truly is. And it’s not a good feeling. You start to see everyone for who they truly are. And it’s not a pretty sight. You are sixteen. And you are flooded with the images you never wished to see.
amy max
You are young, beautiful, sexy and never been kissed. As you smooch your way across the floor, associates here and there, you know that time is short and booze is free and so is the space between your legs. But you know deep down inside that kissing is not just an exchange of saliva or phone numbers you will never use, but rather it is something so much deeper than that.

16? hahah. i was in secondary 4 at that time.
don’t miss secondary school.
i don’t know what to write other than thinking of the song that sounds something like “i am 16 turning on 17”
the movie is called sound of music right.
i’m no longer 16 anymore.

sixteen was group homes and rehab.
it was a year ushered in by late parents and nothing special, working boyfriends and absent friends. I was alone that day.
so much that year I wanted to be left alone.
they probed me. made me think about things, sixteen shouldn’t think about.

Sixteen candles is a movie I have never seen and dont really want to see despite the hype Harold gave it in Harold and Kumar. I mean he was really givin er. Tone it down son. Ah well I guess he got the girl. Maybe this movie is worth a look.

When I was sixteen…
My life changed forever
My whole future was altered
My friends were there for me
When I was sixteen…
I realized what I needed
I became the true me
I was born anew
When I was sixteen…
My heart broke
My friends loved me
My heart began to heal
When I was seventeen…
I was loved by a boy
I became whole
I loved a boy

Sixteen candles was the movie playing on the vcr when my best friend came out to me. It was me and Michaela and Christine, over at Christine’s house because her mom didn’t care about housecleaning and things were comfortable there, with food in the cupboards for scrounging. It was dark.

Stephanie Harper
A perfect square of a perfect square. Can a number get any more perfect, honestly? It seems theoretically astounding, but when paired with “years old”, sixteen can be a drag. Sixteen… too old for innocence and carefree fun, but young enough to have infuriating restrictions and responsibilities. Sixteen, the paradoxical number.

Sixteen candles, what a great movie. Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and of course who can forget, “the donger need food”! Ah to be sixteen, pimply, insecure and worried about whose popular again.

Sixteen, it’s coming in 6 months, I’ll be expected to drive, to be stupid and reckless, the world will be my oyster… with which to kill myself.

Sixteen.
I was sixteen when I was given freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted…
Sixteen was the age when I was king of the world.
Sixteen was my age when she died.
I’ve learned a lot since I was sixteen.

When I was sixteen, I didn’t use to think in the way I think now. Maybe it happens because people grow up. As I am today, I think some of what I did in the past were so stupid.

For me when i saw the word sixteen,I remember my high school days.Those are the days you go out for party,clubing and make fun with your friends.Also the time you were curious about everything.
Alfeo Kison
i remember on my 16th birthday my mother had this idea to throw me a suprise sweet sixteen party but she put this girl who lived on my block in charge of the the party, and she ended up inviting all of her friends, not my friends, so the big day arrived and we were all supposed to meet at the pizza parlor and there’s my neighbor standing by herself with a balloon looking pathetic and my mom saw her and her face dropped, ‘surprise.’

Sixteen and a half seconds.
Time goes by, clawing and breathing.
Rapidly flowing.
Can’t stop.
An object in motion stays in motion.
No other force there.
Too bad.

when i turned sixteen, I realized i had long passed the first kiss that is supposed to be had. I had done many things I wasn’t proud of and was well on my way to being an adult. Thats what abusive parents will do to you I suppose. I had already moved out, but it didn’t matter. I enjoyed the kisses I had then, and enjoyed them for many years after.
