Yet another unlucky person leaving their sweet sixteen this year. Oh, woe is you. I give you my best wishes, in the hope that it might help... a little.

Thanks Nikk

To behonest I had forgotten about it because it is being delayed until after my last exams

Happy birthday, kid! Enjoy your youth while it lasts. Honestly, have a good day.

Thanks Guen

I have a question. Why is it called a 'sweet sixteen'? What makes it special?

Here's what Wikipedia has to say, which isn't much.

I'm not sure when it started, but I personally thought that it may have been as far back as it was normal for a girl to be of marriageable age upon their sixteenth birthday and could thus be married off. But I haven't looked into whether that was ever true, so... But, considering the other things that I do know, I highly doubt that it was just for virginity's sake. It sounds more like they remained a virgin for a certain reason, and for a husband is not only likely and believable, but it has been done in many cultures through many ages.

Happy Birthday Stig!

Happy belated birthday there, Stig. Just this once only, I'll offer you some cake.

But I ate it all. Sorry.
