I come from a fairly poor family (we are barely holding onto our house, and I pay for my own food, clothing, school supplies, etc.) I turned 16 in November but was unable to have any kind of party (we can't even afford chips and soda for an at-home party). It upset me at the time but I thought I'd gotten over it. Recently, for whatever reason, I've been really upset that I didn't get to have a sweet sixteen. A lot of people forgot my birthday too! I had tried to feel better before by reminding myself that I could have a big 18th or 21th birthday party...but I'll turn 17 as a senior and so all my friends will be in college when I turn 18. I don't know, I just feel like I've missed out on a rite of passage and that makes me really sad. Any ideas to make me feel a little better?
Honestly, after you're 12, birthday parties aren't a big deal anymore. To anyone. The only parties that are cool after age 12 are the kind where people drink & do stuff..yeahhh you know what I mean. Don't worry too much about it.
Edit: Ohh.. haha I didn't know you lived in those kinds of towns.. I thought since you were poor, everyone in your town was like that too.. my bad ;-; But, you could have a party any day :D!

Um...not helpful! In my town sweet 16s are a big deal, not like a birthday party , it's more like a real party. (Sorry if this rating is judgemental, I probably will change it later but right now I'm mad.)
