Let's see, there is 13: the age of becoming a man.
Sweet 16: you get to drive around the family car. yay! (actually, I sorta missed this part)
18: all the porn you can handle
19: legal age to drink and therefore into most parties/bars
But that's it. There is no perks to getting any older than 19. Most things go downhill soon after. 20 is a big leap. When your 10, it always meant being closer to the age when you get to do cool stuff. When your 19, your one year away from 20. 30 is not that far off from 20, and once your 30 things start going downhill. After 30, you got about another 35 years of work before you can officially start retiring (at least in my area) and live out your golden years for the next 15 years or so before your children put you in a home and your mental state deteriorates in a downward spiral until you finally are layed to rest. If anyone has seen Rage against the Darkness, you know what I mean.
Maybe the 19 depression has to do with my extremely short amount of achievements. If you do not cure cancer, there is not a whole lot you can put in there.
Anyways, share your stories. I can't be the only one feeling this way.

You fucking suck. There's nothing that I won't have achieved that I have wanted to when I get to 19 this November. Try harder.

I hear ya... I've been feeling like that too...
When I turned 19, after just a few months, I thought "Shit, soon I'm gonna be 20, I'm not a teen anymore... There's so much I haven't done...", which essentially meant "I haven't had sexual experiences with hot teenages aged 17-19", and I was a little depressed, knowing that 30 year old girls just don't seem as hot.
I also started to feel that my body deteriorated - I used to be able to sit on the floor, legs crossed, and do stuff, but now, my knees and legs hurt like hell after a few hours.
And I thought I was starting to lose hair... It didn't come off by itself, but if I got hold of a couple of hairs, it was no match at all to pull them loose. I thought that it was due to improper care, and that I'd go bald in a few months, and it would be all my fault.
But I got over it. I just pushed the whole "I never fucked the hottest girl in school" thing aside, and started to think that I'll still be able to things I like when I'm old. I'll still have my hobbies. I started university this year, it totally rocks my world, and I realise that just because you're not 18, you don't have any fun, the type of fun just changes.
And girls over the age of 20 can be fucking hot too.
Preferences change. Why do you think that "old people" are complaining about what "kids these days" are up to? Because their frames of reference have changed. I bet you most of them were getting the same comments when they were 18.

At 24, you're no longer eligible for the draft.
At 25, you're no longer considered a young, newbie driver so you get a nice discount in your car insurance.
Um... and I'm an adult and I can do anything I want now. Yeah.

I was figuring that I would have problems with this, but when I got married on Monday, that pretty well took care of it. I was pretty well asleep through most of it, but I remember that it was exceptionally happy.
Being more serious, a few weeks ago I actually had this major phobia that somewhere in the distant future, I'd realize that I'd never done anything important with my life. But I've gotten past that now, and every day is even better than the day before it. Granted, I'm only 19, but still, I already know that if I look back on my life half a century from now, I'll be satisfied just because I have a wonderful wife, and we will probably start a family pretty soon.
Oh, and the whole thing about getting married was only a dream I had, but my point still remains valid.

That and most my friends have siblings over 21.
Oh yeah, and one of my friends looks exactly like his 22 year old brother and has his brother's old but still valid driver's license.
