Confirmation age?
Hi! I'm 14 and I'm Catholic, so naturally I am going to get confirmed. However, it seems that all of my friends are getting confirmed this year while I am getting confirmed next year and I am envious of them. They go to different churches, but even so. It bugs me that I have to wait another year when my friends are getting confirmed this year, if not already confirmed. Is this normal to get confirmed at 15? In my opinion, this is a very late age to be confirmed since the Church says that seven is the age of reason, and my parents were both confirmed at the age of 12. Am I being mad for no reason ( this makes me SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO mad to the point where I curse out the lady, of course not to her face)? All answers are appreciated. Thank you!

When I went through Catholic schools we were not given the option of confirmation until the last year, however I have since heard that the Catholic church are considering tying in First Holy Communion with Confirmation at the age of around 7. I live in the UK and can tell that your faith is of importance to you and another year will surely fly by.

I was confirmed at 16, for what it's worth.

You have a good question! It's not your fault that your mad about being Confirmed.You have great reason's why you seem ready.Maybe,you should talk to your parents or Church members about your choice.Understand,where they are coming from at the same time.If it does'nt work maybe you will have to wait another year! Don't follow your friends,Be your own person.
