 Happy Birthday to you for yesterday, sorry to hear you had such a crap birthday, i know how it feels, maybe when the big birdays like the 18th and 21st come along people might make abit more effort for you, on my 19th my bf and i had a major fight and he told me over and over agin about everything he hates abut me, i ended up in tears and not leaving the house, i did'nt even get a cake, so trust me your doing better then some of us.

 This will happen more and more as you get older. Don't worry! If anything, this is a sign that you're reaching adulthood, where people aren't as fixated on birthday parties! Honestly now, did a crack in the earth appear and swallow you because you didn't get a clown and helium balloons? Probably not.
At about the age of 13, most people find that birthdays stop being major events, except for landmarks like 18, 21 and 30 (and 40 and 50, but let's not go there). That's because by the time you get to adolescence, your tastes in entertainment start to change, and it's not as easy as playing Pin The Tail On The Donkey and getting Barbie's Makeup Mirror.
And, just for the record, if your family had tried to give you a party that included a magician and Twister and funny hats... how would you have reacted?
Thought so.
So instead of feeling sorry for yourself, congratulate yourself on reaching an age where people assume you're adult enough not to care that much.
And... happy birthday!

Chin up though, it's not your fault... it's your day and there is no reason to feel down. Treat yourself to something special, Happy Birthday Hun!
