What is so special about being 16?

This says it.

Well, turning 16 is a very important age of your life. I'll give you a few reasons why~

1. It is the age when you can get your drivers license and get to drive, so that means a little more freedom since you don't have to wait and schedule to get a ride to go somewhere, you can just give yourself a ride.

2. You are old enough to be able to apply for more jobs, since very few jobs hire people under the age of 16, and that means you can get more money for shopping! XP

3. Everyone is excited for their 16th birfday because they can have their Sweet 16 which is usually the best and biggest party of a person's teenage years.

4. Last but not least, when you turn 16 you are legally allowed to consent.

Nothing.

Originally, when a woman turned 16 it was her coming of age and her family would celebrate that, then marry her off, but sadly the modern age has transits he'd it with spoiled daddy's girls who have their parents wrapped around their little finger. So way back when, it used to mean something now it doesn't. :(

absolutely nothing
i assure you i felt no different when i turned 16. like at the most i had to constantly remind myself i wasnt 15 anymore.
i still have to convince myself that i'm 16

You fart 16 times more than others do. Whoopdy doo

Well there's your driver's license and....*shrugs* 16 is when you can legally drink in Germany~ :D
Yeah...that's it.

Fuckin' cars, man.

Driver's licence.

Being 16 is, basically a blessing for some of us. Hell, I might make a big deal when I turn 16. When your 16, you have freedom, you can drive, and get a job

Well, it's different in some countries, but where I live, sixteen is the age where you can marry (if you have parental permission), consent to sex and drive a moped.

The year you turn sixteen is also the year you take your final secondary school exams (GCSEs) and the year secondary school ends, so you can choose whether to do an apprenticeship, go to college or go to sixth form (which all last another two years).

Sixteen is also supposed to be a more mature age than thirteen, fourteen or fifteen, and so generally you are trusted more and given more respect than younger students at school (if you deserve it - if you're an idiot they come down on you even harder than ever because you're meant to be setting an example for the younger students).

My theory is that they think MTV's still cool when it actually sucks. I could go on about it, but I think we all know why Beavis and Butt-head was cancelled twice.

Because MTV's stupid. Uh, huh huh.

Yeah, and it sucks too. M, heh heh, heh.

Im 16 and for me it means nothing, but i had a big bday party at school xD. It was just a prom night, that was on the same date like my birthday. :P

I recently turned sixteen and I feel nothing
Okay college :D

There is absolutely nothing special about being 16. You're still forced to abide by your parent's rules, your driver's license isn't promised, everyone's still an asshole, and there's a fuckton of pressure not only from your peers, but also from your family to make great grades so your GPA is high and you can maybe get a scholarship. Being 16, fucking sucks for a lot of people. But for others who have it made, it's probably the best time of their lives.
