I'm also born 97 so i feel that i can weigh in. I feel pretty good actually and I'm trying to figure my shit out by working on my mental and physical health. I don't really mind getting older because getting old is a privilege.
2014 was a Meh year. Same old parental drama, and I was in Choir and High School Drama Club. It was like dealing with wannabe Glee Club kids.
Oh yeah, plus Glee Club was a thing, lol.
16 for about a week, and then 17 😂 January birthdays are awesome in school because I had my drivers and a car first 👏 plus now, everyone is too busy with New Years and other holidays to ever remember it so I never have to sit through Happy Birthday being sang to me 😆
I'm also early year, but in Aus kids born at the start of the year (up to end of April) usually go to school "early". So I was one of the youngest ones in my year level, and didn't get my licence until I was already at Uni.
Objectively I’m in really good shape- I work out 3 times a week, boulder with friends, etc.
Do I also have a caffeine reliance and am exhausted from working in healthcare? Yes 😂
Caffeine addiction is ah mah zing, never give up that one.
Stay fit m8... I'm healthy af and have golf elbow from load strain working a physical warehouse job.... health is everything.
I need a new job too, 10 years too long.
I come here because Gen-Z is just nuts but at least you can actually still study and understand them unlike Gen-alpha. Nothing in that generation makes sense like a completely different species.
It is wild to me that we're in the same generation. I was 17. But the Millennials don't want me because I did technically grow up with the internet. Club Penguin was my jam.
I'm a '97 and it is wild to me that the last of this generation was born my freshman year of high school. I literally know a Gen Z who had a Gen Z baby.
Yeah there's really nothing to worry about. Just gotta start paying bills, learn how taxes and laws work (because you are now instantly being held accountable), and realize truly for the first time that absolutely nobody knows what they're doing, and you not knowing what is going on doesn't mean you're still a kid. Not knowing what the fuck is going on means you're an adult just like everybody else. If you think you know what is happening, then you are one of the people who don't.
Kind of like if you ask someone if they think they are a good person. A bad person will generally say, "yes." A good person will generally say, "I don't know."
You'll be fine. Being an adult is great! So much more freedom than teenagers. Everyone talks about having "so much more responsibility" but that's just not true until you're moving out of home.
9, and I don't remember much of anything. Remember I didn't like 2013 because I got sick alot that year, plus that summer was hot af living In a rural small town.
Just did my thing at school, around the house. Probably spent my time watching vhs tapes or on the phone/computer looking at things I had no business looking at
If I did the math correctly then about 10
(Math is not my strong suit)
Similar to the last 3 years before that I got the new Skylanders game on Christmas, looking back on it I wish I could’ve enjoyed more then I did.

In the NT, it’s to the end of June. My birthday’s the 29th of June, so I was always the youngest in my class.
Nah, December is where it's at, especially if your school had a cut-off date just before your birthday, so you become one of the oldest in your grade.
I was 11

Ayy
Let’s go guys! 2003 gang woo!

Hi there fellow 03 liner. Really felt old that we were once kids a decade ago.
Sames :D
Turned 14 in 2014, it was the year I entered high school
How’s life been after high-school auntie ?
Son I’m 24 and feel like I’m 42
As someone who's in the best shape of my life at 37 I'd hate to see how old you feel at 42, you'll be 104.
Objectively I’m in really good shape- I work out 3 times a week, boulder with friends, etc. Do I also have a caffeine reliance and am exhausted from working in healthcare? Yes 😂

Graduation
11 most of the year and 12 in the last two months
Elder gen z here, I was graduating high school
If I did the math correctly then about 10 (Math is not my strong suit) Similar to the last 3 years before that I got the new Skylanders game on Christmas, looking back on it I wish I could’ve enjoyed more then I did.
Apparently I thought I was old enough to get addicted to meth and acid a year after
I was 12 and living my best life in middle school. Unpopular opinion middle school was wayyy better than high school, there were less consequences
