 Topic  Sweet 16? 
 Message  My 16th birthday passed like a year ago. When i was smaller, i heard a lot of talk about sweet 16. And when that time came, i still wondered what it was. Now that i am 17, i am still wondering. I going to be 18 soon (next six months....lol) and still i am wondering what is sweet 16
So if any of you have the answer to this question, i’d be grateful.

 Message  when I was growing up, a "Sweet 16" party (which was almost non-existant even by then) was a birthday party. Specificly, it was considered a "coming-of-age" type of thing where everyone kind of admits that the little girl is now a young woman.

Think of it as a much more informal version of a barmitzva.

 Message  I’m sweet seventeen and never been kissed.
But I don’t know what sixteen was all about. I was homeschooled, so I missed the whole prom thing.

 Message  I’m not sure "sweet 16" exists anymore, charmed identity. The full saying is "Sweet 16 and never been kissed." Do you know anyone that fits that description? It harks back to a more innocent time when children were children longer and sex outside marriage was considered scandalous. mae
