A penpal of mine from Korea said that she was 19 in Korea age, but 17 in American age; and another friend from Korea said that he is 13 in Korea age but 14 in American age.

Korean tradition follows the oriental new year, properly known as the lunar new year, and commonly known as Chinese New Year.  As the answers above stated, Koreans consider a person's life to begin at conception.  So when they are born, they are one year old (we're talking fuzzy math here).  Then when the next lunar new year rolls around, everybody has a birthday at the same time, and their age goes up by one.  So, if a child was born on the day before the Chinese New Year, he or she would be two years old the next day.\n\nBy the way, ask your 13/14 year old guy friend what he thinks about joining the Korean military.  All Korean males (with a few exceptions) have to serve in the military for at least two years.

18-27 is not middle age! 35 - 45 is middle age based on current life exectancy figures for the west at least.\nas for over seas girl friends try one or all of the dating websites like match.com udate.com www.hotornot.com amongst others.\nthe only thing to watch for is that most of the girls advertised as overseas tend to be gold diggers or scammers after your ersonal details.\nthe best thing to do is go globe trotting and see if you can find the girl of your dreams that way.\nyou might like to use www.skype.com, www.msn.com, www.yahoo.com and download the messenger tools theses tools allow you to communicate in real time with people all over the world. the only thing to remember is that skype allows you to contact anyone who is in "skype me" mode.\nyahoo and msn require you to add contacts to your friends lists.\nbut you can chat online to anyone using chat.yahoo.com chat.msn.com (if you are in the USA only for msn at this time).\nif you make a friend just add them to your frinds list and talk in private.\ngood luck.

Yes; there are potentially several reasons why a person wouldn't know his or her real date of birth. In some countries, governments don't keep very complete records. Children are orphaned all over the world, of course, and might not have any adults around who remember when the children were born.\n\nThere is, of course, a weird phenomenon that occurs when someone is born on February 29th. Although s/he knows the date of birth, the way that one measures age is complicated, since s/he only has a birthday in leap years.  In Korea, people count age differently than we do in the West. When someone is born, we think of him or her as zero, while the Koreans would say one. When the year changes, one adds another year, instead of adding a year on the birthday. So, everyone in Korea is actually a year or two younger (in Western terms) than they say they are.\n\nBut, back to your original question: I think that it is possible to have a judge declare a date of birth that one could use for any legal reason whatsoever.

wonders about age of asker

it depends upon state laws.  In California for instance the 22 year old can be prosecuted if the 17 year old is a girl, but not if the boy is 17.

I've seen answerers who have claimed to be as young as eight, and as old as 106.  We have no way of knowing what anyone's true age is.  I'm in my twenties - for real.

It not strange at all! Once, at 14, I dated 48 year old party official! Everyone knew, and nobody thought I was the least bit strange!

BE CAREFUL!!  Sometimes people who are actually 17, 28, 36, 45, 68, 72 like to make believe they are 12/14.  They even try to type the way a 12/14 year old person talks (like in this case) so that they can trick other 12/14 year olds into having inappropriate conversations.  My Advice:  When you want to chat with people whom you do not know, do it in your local school, at least you can actually SEE who you are talking to.  12/14 year olds shouldn't be chatting with strangers on the net.

There are so many sights to chat and you may find a pen pal there . Keep in mind your reading only what they want you to read . The truth may be far from the facts. Never met anyone without your parents Knowing , My friend kept a close eye on her daughter . The mom dropped her daughter & one other girl  off at a mall to be with their friends . A man said his sons car broke down , so he came to get her , he said here's my cell phone call him.The girl tried , no answer , the man said "he probly didn't charge it , you kids now days " The girl left her friend at the mall and went to meet the email friend.She never seen her family again .And her friend thought the guy was just a nice dad and never called until later that night .It was then everyone relied her daughter was alone with someone no one knew name / car / phone . Keep Pen Pal  on computer until a group of friends YOU KNOW, can get together ( please ).
