Hi! Advanced happy birthday, especially that it's your debut!
When I turned 18, I didn't like to have a party because mainly, I don't want to wear a dress and have to go through that "socialite" type of party. So I just dined with friends and made the most out of it. I had lots of fun and it was one of my most unforgettable birthdays.
I always celebrate my birthday but I celebrate it my own way. We just go fine dining then go to a mall. I usually buy myself stuff that I like on my birthday too. But I never want to party, I don't know why. I'm already happy to do things on my birthday with my family I guess. And I'm thankful for every year I'm alive that's why I celebrate them.
Happy birthday again!

I'm 27, old enough for parties, clowns, cakes and balloons. I don't do such rituals and entertainments for my birthday anymore. It stopped at the age of 18, my debut.
Anyway, I can't say as well that I don't celebrate my birthday anymore. I mean, I may have no parties to throw, no visitors to entertain, no cake candles to blow, but I'm still happy that I went through another year, scarred, blemished, harmed, tired, aching, but well, surviving and kicking.
So I still celebrate my birthday alone. Yes, alone, by myself. I treat myself to 4 movies in a row (yeah, I do a movie marathon during my birthday in cinemas), I eat heartily, I buy myself gifts like the books that I love and of course I go to church to thank the Father for another year, hoping that I'll survive another year in my life..
Yes, don't feel bad if you're not doing the usual things you do on your birthday, what matters most is that you're happy. Advance happy birthday! May God bless you always.

Since I enter the high school days, I dont like to celebrate my birthday. Simply because I dont want to spend money on it. We just go to church with my family and eat some dishes that my mom cooked for us in our house. But when I started my job and my birthday came, I can resist my co workers. And I just celebrated again my birthday last january with my co workers at my aunts house, because we dont have our own house here. and my mom Just cooked what we ate. I celebrated it because I want to give thanks on what i have now and what god gave me. He gave me a good job and lost of good friends that helped me to overcome my recent problems. That's why I celebrated it again.

No, I don't. I had my 33rd birthday less than 2 months ago, and did absolutely nothing special for it. LOL But that's okay as I don't like making a big deal out of it anyway.
The last time I had a birthday party was 10 years ago, I think! I certainly didn't expect one though seeing that we just had a birthday party for my oldest only days before.

In my memory, i don't celebrate my birthday much. Only maybe 5 times or even 7, because of busy school work, even i myself often forget about my birthday, and so do my parents. LOL, i know it's kinda absurd, that's my birthday, but it just happens.

I haven't celebrate my birthday for several years,birthday party means nothing to me since my graduation from university.
I think you should give a call to mom to show your gratitude,After all,it's a suffering day to your mom 18 years ago.
