-Children idealize teenagers, in part because most of the fiction they consume is about empowered teens who lead extraordinary existences; often these take place in the magical world of High School.

- Teenagers are eager to enter the 'real world' and thus fulfill all their burgeoning hopes and dreams which must remain entirely unrealized en ce moment; after all, who would wish to dwell in the socially-awkward confines of dreary High School?

- Twenty-somethings question their direction and the speed of that direction. Should I really be in university/college when internet enterpreneurs seem more successful than any graduate? Is what I thought I wanted as a teenager really viable, or even really what I wanted? Do I really have any business even thinking about marriage if I haven't the means to comfortably support a family? Does anyone even get permanently married anymore? I wish I could go back to being a teen and do it right this time; can't we just declare 30 the new 20?

- Thirty-something is where I'm at right now, and to be as succinct as possible I would say that we would be a lot happier if we weren't constantly bombarded with a media that assured us that we are well past our prime.

Does anyone my elder dare to add more? :mermaid kiss:

- Forties, you panic that your life is nearly over and you still haven't gotten your shit together;

- Fifties, you laugh at all the crap the breeders are wasting their time on - all the posturing and game-playing; you realize that even though you know better and have great advice from years of life experience, no one is going to listen to you because you are a Old (can we say Cassandra Complex?); and you relax and realize how awesome life is and you don't give a damn what people think of you and your rubber fish suit.

:mermaid kiss:

That awkward moment when practically no one in the pool has noticed you swimming in your tail and then the lifeguard blows a whistle and asks everyone to get out of the pool, so you have to flop up onto the cement and let everyone stare as you struggle to reach your towel.

Ooo that does sound awkward, Merin, especially in the Peacock Mantis Shrimp!

PearlieMae, this last century has been especially bad for not listening to elders, as the media peddles novelty and increasing rebelliousness. I don't know if this will cause you to feel any better, but scientific studies reveal that - in terms of memory, knowledge, wisdom, etc. - people are actually growing less intellectually capable, not more as those young whipper-snappers seem to think. I am happy to know there is a decade at which I might anticipate finally become mature! :mermaid kiss:

You dang li'l guppies, get back to your school and the HECK OFF MY POND!

TAMW mermaid comic on ohjoysextoy appears on mernetwork and gives you a female boner :| I'm just gonna go calm myself down now.

That awkward moment when you are swimming around at a college pool party and a hot guy wades over to ask, "Would you be of-fin-ded if I were to touch your tail?"
Nope, not with those muscles. I'm not even offended by the cliche pun lol.

hahahaha Coralia he must have been hot

I was also in an Ariel mood after my first time monofinning, so here's another one from real life:

That awkward moment when you're trying to blow-dry your hair so as to better endure the sub-zero night air, and find yourself singing in minor frustration...

"What's a dryer, and why doesn't it - what's the word - ​WORK!!"

"What's with my perm? Couldn't I try, try shaking this mess 'til it's dry? Pantene Pro-V. That's what I need. Shampooed and curled."

That awkward moment when you mum tells you that your too old to be playing mermaid when she sees your tail that you just swam in drying...
