It’s October 16th, which means it’s my last day of being 16 years old, and instead of reflecting on what I’ve done this past year, it’s the perfect time to look at the accomplishments of all my favorite characters from when they were my age.

This is my fourth year doing this post, and it’s always one of my favorites! This year especially there were so many characters to put in here–16 really is a popular age for YA protagonists! So, let’s see what some of my favorite fictional characters were doing when they were my age.

Hello, and happy Saturday! My birthday is on Monday, so I thought this would be a good time to write the latest addition to this series I’ve done for the last couple years. This is turning into an annual thing, and I’m so excited for it. I loved talking about what some of my favorite characters were doing when I was 13 and 14, and now with 15, there are a few characters who I was able to add to this post! So, here we go into what some of my favorite fictional characters were doing when they were my age!!

Hello! Today was a pretty busy Thursday, but I have a four day weekend coming up: an exciting one, because my birthday’s on Sunday! I did a post like this last year, but it was all about 13 year old characters. I’ve been so excited for this one for so long, and it was so much fun to put together.

I’m in a weird in between age right now: Most young adult protagonists are 15-18, and middle grade characters are usually 12 and under. But I managed to scrape up a pretty good list of characters, and I hope you have fun reading about what they were all up to when they were my age, fourteen years old!
