Will I regret not having a 16th birthday party?

[Doffydood]

I turn 16 in just over a week and to be honest I haven't given it any thought- I haven't had the time to care in all honesty :/ I'm not really sure if I should have a party as I've never had my friends from school around before- I have friends out of school and I've had them round before so that's ok.

But besides that, I'm not sure if I should have anything resembling a party (more than 4 people). They're loud and crowded, which freaks me out a bit, and they're just not nice in general.

The problem is that I'm worried that when I'm older I might look back on this and regret not doing anything big for my 16th birthday.

Should I have a party? Should I bring my school friends or my out of school friends? Or is my apathetic stance on birthdays totally normal? Any answers are appreciated :D

I didn't have a 16th B-Day party and I regretted it ;-;

I didn't have a 16th B-Day party and I have no regrets :D

They're over rated. I don't like a lot of people or parties really. On my 16th birthday I got my license and that night I went to the movies with my closest friends. Then I went home. It was fun but not crowded or busy. If you don't wanna have a party, don't. You'll remember that as the year that you forced yourself into being around too many people and you didn't enjoy it. Just have fun! Whether it's with a lot of people or not.

You will only regret it if you make a big deal out of it I didn't celebrate it and I am just fine and dandy. Don't know why people make 16th birthday such a big deal 18 is when you are signified as an adult.

I literally had some pumpkin pie with my immediate family and my grandparents and bought two video games.
I regret nothing, except getting Dishonored.

Lol birthday party? Haven't had one probably since like 6th grade unless you count going to the movies with two friends as one.
