I too am 17. There's a lot of us 17 year olds on here. I couldn't vote because none apply to me. My parents are both actually quite supportive of my hobby. Most of the basement is devoted to my trains. My mom is really good at painting figures and my dad's done a lot with my benchwork and builds the shelves I need to display all the trains I don't have room for on the layout (which I keep needing more of). Both are genuinely interested in trains and I can talk to them about something using technical terms and they fully understand. My dad has also hinted at starting model railroading himself after I move out someday.
