Last one to turn 18 in the friend group

I'm in year 13 and my friends are turning 18 in the next couple of months and are already planning to go clubbing. I don't turn 18 until July so I have quite a while to wait.
I feel guilty that I know I'll have fomo especially as they all want to go on a clubbing holiday after exams in june before I'm 18 so I'm the only one who can't go. how should I deal with feeling left out?

You could go on and do something else in your spare time - focus on something you enjoy, rather than sulk on the thought that you’re missing out.

Plus, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to go clubbing with them after you turn 18!

I GET U GIRL!! But at the end of the day, it is a bit **** but good things come to those who wait. + Hopefully, i say hopefully, but because ur mates have been going out for a bit longer, they should be able to support you better when you start as they will be more "experienced". Hope that makes any sense!

Thanks so much for your response! I think I just had a crisis moment about a week ago but it's actually just not a big deal. Plus summer birthdays for win!
