My name is Benjamin. I come from the UK (although I was born in New Zealand) and I have been described as having a ginger personality. Whatever that means. I assume they're referring to my hair and my Ronald Weasley nature. Aside from that, I'm the only male blogger worth knowing.

You can thank Amber for that lovely introduction, but you deserve much more than just a small paragraph showing my nutty nature, therefore if you do wish to find out more, please visit the

Scary thought.

Whilst my 18th was last Tuesday, it still feels to me that I am a child. Being a child may seem to be good at times, but when you find out that one of your school friends gave birth to a baby girl at 7:30 this morning; it can be very scary.

My friend Kerry gave birth to an 8 pound baby in the early hours of the morning. And to think at my age, I could be having children. Not me personally, but you get what I mean. I could be a father. The responsibilities that come with having a child, but not even that, being an adult. The bills, higher education, jobs, life plans - it just seems daunting.

For 18 years, I have had my parents protect me, shall I put it, from the outside world. And suddenly I am getting University offers, paying monthly bills for my car insurance and phone contract, and whilst I am at it planning on what I want to do with my life: Thinking will I be successful, will I have the life I want to, will I have a partner at last?

SCARY. :shock:

Ben
