Whatever you do, don't get a tattoo or a piercing if you aren't completely sure about it. Those are permanent, so you won't want to do anything you will regret for the rest of your life.

When I had my eighteenth birthday, I just went out with a bunch of my friends and went on a romp around a city nearby. It's something I don't get to do very frequently, so it was something special for me. More generally, a good things to do for your eighteenth is anything that you enjoy doing but don't get to do very frequently, but not something so special that you'll be too worked up about it being perfect to enjoy yourself.

Yea i mean i wouldn't mind a piercing. Ive wanted one for a while now. just not sure which to get.

Every year my family makes dinner than a cake and then thats it. Pretty boring and i always tell myself that next year will be different and it never happens, but this time i dont have to worry bout being home at a certain time... at least not legally...XP

so yea... more advice please.

One thing you could do is go to an awesome gay club with some friends. Alot of them will let you in at 18. Thats what I did for one of my best friends on his 18th birthday!

Make something big!

For my youngest siblings 18th, he had all his closest mates come over and they did a heap of tie dying, sheet painting, murals etc.

He ended up having a great time and came out with a bunch of stuff which would last a long time and have great sentimental value.

Of course there were a lot of drugs and booz involved as well, but that is all up to you.

for my 18th i went to have a curry with my mates,drank alot whilst at the curry,went to the pub,drank alot more,then went clubbing,then got with a guy who i did not find atall attractive.

That may or may not be to your kinda thing

get snakebites! or go dye your hair, go with friends dancing, or for a night of driving around in a different state/town. Maybe cross the border over to British Columbia. IDK, there's some ideas though.
