Okay I am not entirely sure where the firetruck this thread is supposed to go but this is a confusion I REALLY needed clearing.

 

Suppose I was born on 18th April, 1999, (okay fine this might be my real birthdate)

 

How old would I be this April? If I was "15-years-old" does that mean I've lived 14 years or am I working my way to 16 years, so then I've lived 15 years? THIS BUGS THE SHIT OUT OF ME SOMEBODY firetruckING HELP ME NAO

 

 

 

 

PLEASE.

Well , look, I do think that in April you will be 15 . Which will mark your 15th year of life .

I've faced this dilemna multiple times... I'm going with the "14 years" one, looks to make more sense to me.

Well , look, I do think that in April you will be 15 . Which will mark your 15th year of life .

So that means I've passed 14 years or...?

So that means I've passed 14 years or...?

Yeah you have almost passed 14 complete years of life .

On the 18th of April, 1999, you entered the world. 1 year later, the 18th of April, 2000, you were a year old.

 

2001 = 2

2002 = 3

2003 = 4

2004 = 5

2005 = 6

2006 = 7

2007 = 8

2008 = 9

2009 = 10

2010 = 11

2011 = 12

2012 = 13

2013 = 14

2014 = 15

 

On April 18 of this year, you will have lived for 14 full years, starting your 15 year of life.

You don't know your age? Anyway, you've almost lived 14 full years. On April 18th your 15th year will begin...

you have passed the mark of being fourteen. however, you have been alive for 15 years. starting on april  18th of this year, 14 years will be a number of the past. you will have lived 15 years or 129,600 hours on april 18th.

I'm 13 and i already know how old i am. I've passed 12 years, and i will soon be 14 on August 25th (which is in 6 months. Scratch that, make it 5 months since this month is almost over).

Listen to me and RoxSox We said the same thing.

I agree but what Amber said makes a bit of sense too... Isn't here a universal answer or something?

You don't have to lie to me; since you were born in a leap year on February 29th, you have experienced 4 years of life, making you 4 years old- you're welcome

you are 14 now. but on april 18th you will be 15. you are currently 14. but you will soon be 15. until april 18th you will be 14. after that you will be 15.

Right, so how many years would I have passed when I hit April 18, 2014?

100.

o.O ...I always wandered...should we count the 9 months we were in mama's belly? We were alive in her belly after all so we were living... o.o MAYBE WE SHOULD REALLY START COUNTING THE YEARS OF OUR LIVES FROM THE NIGHT (or day, but that doesn't happen really often) OUR PARENTS CONCEIVED US?! OMG!

when you hit April 18, 2014 you will have passed 15 years. 

No...he will begin his fifteenth year.

when you hit April 18, 2014 you will have passed 15 years.

Right thank you! ^_^ but I wonder, on basis of Noctis and RoxSox, their reasons seem pretty valid too just saying though thanks!

Sooo does that mean I've passed 15 years...?

Sooo does that mean I've passed 15 years...?

as of currently no. on april 18th yes

Sooo does that mean I've passed 15 years...?

Why is this such a big deal?You'll be 15 on your birthday. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.

No, that doesn't make sense. How will she have passed 15 years, when she's only starting the 15th year of her life.

 

Born in 1999, 14 years later is now, 15th year of being alive starting this April.

EDIT:

Okay now I'm questioning my own math.

 

The question posited by Shera is "When I turn 15, will that mean I've lived for 15 years, or will that mean I'm entering the 15th year of my life?"

 

Going by this site: http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/Apr+18,+1999/to/Apr+18,+2014, the day she turns 15 will mean she's been alive for 14 years and 12 months... 15 years, so going by that, Amber Cole is correct. I rescind my former statement.
