Answers: Or are you supposed to get them when youre older?

Yes it is very common. I've had them since I can remember looking up at a blue sky. I think I've had them since I was around six years old. And I was actually having a conversation with my friends who are all my age (15-16) and they all have "eye floaters" as well.

Here is some more information about eye floaters if you'd like to learn about them:

Normal. I've had them for years--probably started when I was a teen, too.

I got my first ones when I was about 8. I read somewhere that if you eat 3 raw onions a day for 3 days, they will go away, but thats most likely an old wives tale.

they are common for older people, but not unheard of for younger people.

Here's Stewie Griffin's ode to floaters:

I have had them since I was 7. :(

im 13 i asked my mom about that and she said every1 gets them i started getting floaters in3rd grade
@ least thats as long as i can remember.

yes, these are common.
i have them right now and i'm in the 12-15
i noticed that i had them about two years ago
i only get them when i look on something for a awhile
or when i'm looking straight

They are harmless. Pull your top eyelid over your bottom and look around for like 10 seconds, that should flush it out.

i have them too and it worries me as well, mine are like floating little bits of light...
