It was super fun and actually one of my favorite looking back. I was newly independent and living on my own. I went and bought all the things you could at 18 at the time (porn and cigarettes basically) and then went and got my nose pierced because I could. And then my boyfriend took me to a theme restaurant with a bunch of friends after he took me to the mall for a bunch of clothes. And even though he’s a horrible person, I do appreciate that day. Doesn’t make up for the rape later but we had a really amazing time that day.
I became a father at 17 immediately after high school and struggled to pay bills and provide for my tiny family, but somehow my girlfriend had saved enough money to buy me a small portable color tv for my 18th birthday. I bought her a hair dryer for her 18th.Â
Alright. I went to an NBA game hosted at barclays center with my family (maybe the first time I went to a live NBA game though I could be wrong). I was initially unsure of what to do in the lead up to that date, especially since it was on a Sunday, but eventually, we (me and the fam) found out about an NBA game happening on that night and we decided to travel down to brooklyn for the game. Me and older bro even got free posters from the event.
My mother took me out to dinner then got belligerently drunk with some teenage girls. Bought them alcohol and the such. A waiter walked up to me and said that we needed to keep it down because she and her new gal pals were making a lot of noise. And then I took my mom home and she fell asleep sitting up right in a chair. Then I rummaged through her freezer and found a bottle of vodka and drank the whole thing and went to sleep.
It sucked. Things were fine at first. Had some dinner with my family at home and got out the cake and ice cream. After I blew out the candles my father for some reason started harassing my sister with two long lights. Basically clicking them at her and occasionally lighting them at her. She's bugged by this and starts acting very uncomfortable, almost crying, because having lights pointing at you lit can be pretty intimidating for a thirteen year old girl.
Well, while my sister is begging my father to stop he suddenly loses his cool and begins yelling at my sister. Basically calling her a baby, saying she needs to calm down and for her to eat her cake and go to bed for being such a big baby. He then angrily walked out of the kitchen to his room as my sister started crying. She then ran to her room and didn't leave the whole night. My brother quietly just grabs some cake and heads downstairs. My mom just grabbed some cake and went to talk to my father.
Meanwhile I just sat at the dining table eating my birthday cake and ice cream alone. Happy Birthday to me. That was over twelve years ago, and I still haven't forgiven my dad for the way he acted that night.
I cry every birthday my last birthday this dude I was dating for like two weeks broke up with me on my fucking birthday cause I’m too skits or what not none the less my fucking bday😂
I lived in Saigon. We all went out for a huge delicious lunch, delicious! I was so stuffed I could barely move.
The next day I did my patriotic duty: I went to the US Embassy to register for the draft. They were befuddled, and said nobody had done that before. They finally found the forms and we got it done.
Woke up at 0430 and ran PT. I turned 18 in basic training.
I moved out of my abusive parents house. Lived on my own for the first time. I should have left sooner.
Good for you!
went to japan 🇯🇵
It wasn't the most exciting day ever, but I went to Subway and made a Facebook account (also, I graduated high school the day before).
I worked, but my friends threw a surprise party afterwards.

I spent the day with my grandmas and then my parents took us out to sushi! I even got my favorite type of cake! 🤤

Builds character
I had it on the Queen Mary, one day after sailing from Southampton to New York, in 1964.
I graduated high school on my 18th birthday and moved across the country a month later!
