Age concern

so I have petitioned for the lodge and had my investigative committee and today they’re voting for me. Well a friend of mine said he is unsure they will vote on me because of my age. I am 18. Does anyone think I should be worried?

EDIT: I was accepted and will be fully initiated may 11th! Thanks for all of the input!

I think that's great! A huge part of me wishes that I had done it that early in life. I don't think age will be an issue.

We have a couple of guys < 25, one joined when he was 18 YO.... glad to hear you were accepted, just remember, it can take a while to understand the value of Freemasonry and that takes attendance and patience...

Brothers I'm from Nigeria kindly help me out, I've been searching for light for the past 5 year. Locating a lodge recently gave me the glimpse of the light, I have requested for a petition but I've not been granted and I'm sad about it though I'm not discouraged.

Brothers I want the divine light to illuminate my path so I may fulfil destiny. I'll be grateful to find help here. Thanks

Probably because “light” is only a symbol for Masonic knowledge
You might be trying to join for the wrong reasons.

Unlike the USA, where you approach a lodge and attend dinners so that the brethren get to know you so they would give you a petition...

So they can recommend you to the lodge. Also, many Islamic governed countries prohibit any sort of Freemasonry (they wrongly believe it to be Zionist and pro-Western agendas). Turkey, Syria, and Morocco are some of the few countries. In Iran after the 1979 revolution, there is a rumor that being a Freemason was a capital crime and certain members were sentenced to DEATH by HANGING

I would add Albania, Kosovo and Lebanon to the few

If that is the legal age in your jurisdiction there should be no problem. Of course, there is always the possibility someone will drop the black ball for reasons known only to themselves. We all went through the "worry" stage.
