There seems to be quite a few from about 13+, which makes me feel very old, though not quite that old that I'm resigned to supping bitter and wetting myself in the corner of the local boozer., yet.

If you believe in telekinesis, raise my right hand.

I'm 25 and I'm now starting to look at young lads in the pub as 'kids' and wondering to myself if they're old enough to drink. Thats a true sign that I'm getting old. :/

I think you'll find that most 'kids' don't feel that at home here, as it's generally very laid back and mature. I could be wrong. There's a lot of guys in 20's and 30's on this particular site I think. But good for you starting young, I starting teaching myself web/graphic design from 13 and it certainly did me no harm. user added image
