i am currently feeling very umm...displaced here. I don't know how old some of the people on this site are and i would feel a lot more comfortable if some people would give me the general age groups here. Mainly, how young some of the people are. I am only 12 so...:headbang: yeah.
Even if no one answers, thanks.
There are plenty of people here about your age, or just a few years older...and then there are the prehistoric types like Eutrusca, who is as old as your great, great, great grandfather:) (hi, Eut!) Most of us seem to be between 18-33. That's just my impression anyway.
I'm 13 Man. I Feel Your Pain. But There Is Actually A Large Amount Of Teens And Pre-Teens On NS. It's Just No One Wants To Admit Their Still Legally "Children".

I'm 22 myself, but there's quite a few people I've noticed recently in the sort of 10 - 14 age range. As Sinuhue says, we range from the very young to the...er...more mature :p Either way, most of us are harmless...

26 here. It doesn't really matter so long as you conduct yourself maturely. I've run into kids 12-16 on the internet that I could have easily mistaken for my own age and I have run into guys older then me that act like ten year olds. I try not to assume or judge based on it but considering the average kid these days... my advice is to NOT act your age. Good luck kid.

Turned 14 this month..I've been on for about a year, so not much of a difference in starting ages.:)

Well, since I automatically dismiss the ramblings of anyone younger than me, now I know I need not bother reading your posts:) *wait...do that and I might end up with only Eut, Carnivorous, and assorted other 'fogeys' to keep me company...*

I agree that here on t'interweb your RL age matters less than the maturity you show in your posts.
Though t'is good to sit back with a beer in front of the computer screen;)

I am older then time, aeon's have vanished before my sight, ages pasted and empires crumbled, a million actions taken and always i watch..
Now that's what i would have said if i were some kind of elder god, but since I'm not ill just announce that my age can be calculated by taking the square root of 289 (anyone wise would just read on and see that what i write next escaping the grasp of unnecessary matematika.)
I'm 17 and insane, i read somewhere that its always important to mention that your insane, so that's what i did.

I'm 24. But there are many people of your age or just a few years above in nationstates, there was a thread about it not so long along.
Anyway, don't feel displaced, you're welcomed even if you are younger :) And don't feel bad, I used to be the youngest in channels, ... for long, it's usually more fun than pain, people tend to be nicer when you are young ;)
You may feel lost in some political discussions, but many "adults" would be lost too, and it's never bad to learn (and to ask questions if you don't understand). So, welcome here !

Used to be true for me too, I was two years early in school, so most of my friends were two years older than me (and even 3 some times).
Now, I've several good friends younger than me, people I know first from hurdfr (french users/developers of the GNU Hurd), since most people in hurdfr are students.
Eh, age doesn't matter, really.
Yeah, I agree. Well, it matters at some ages, a 8-years old and a 12-years old will very likely be different, but the difference fades out quickly afterwards, and it varies a lot from people to people. I've some 18-years old friends who are more "mature" than some 25-years old that I know.

So what's the issue? No one is going to see a 12 year old actually enjoying a debate with a fossil. Enjoy the forums and don’t talk age, it can get you into a lot of trouble. There are a lot of cranks in cyberland but (thankfully) few on Nationstates.

An 18-year-old girl. Stressing the female part. They seem to be in much shorter supply here than males.
Seriously, though, it makes no difference. I had a perfectly adult conversation with someone I thought was older than me. Turns out they were 11!

31. Sometimes I feel a part of the older group, then Eut creaks in and everything returns to normal. You'll find that we all feel too old or too young or too new or too uneducated for a discussion once in a while. As long as you make an effort to have fun and follow the rules, mostly, then welcome.

My original nation name was my family name so I don't give it out, but I've been around for about three years (lurking most of the first year and just building a nation). When I decided to really start posting I decided I didn't want to do so under my family name so I started another nation.
