Guys, the liars are 17 and the year is 2011. This is how it went:

The First Secret: 2008, ninth grade, 14 years old

Alison dissapears: summer of 2009, going into tenth grade, 15 years old

Jump one year later: 2009/2010, 15 years old, grade 10

Ali's body is found and season 1: September 2010-November 2010, 16 years old, 11th grade

Season 2: November 2010-March 2011, 11th grade, 16/17 years old

Season 3: September 2011-November 2011, senior year, 17 years old

To the person who keeps saying that there was a jump of one year sometime between season 1 or two, that MAKES no sense. First of all, the Halloween prequal episode took place while the liars were in ninth grade and while they were 14/15. Not only has this been calculated out, but it is also logical. The liars and Alison seemed very independant, and very free teenagers. I highly doubt 13 year olds would have such high independance. Plus, I highly doubt 13/14 year old Alison would be able to roam around different towns, having an alter ego, flying accross many states without parental supervision, check into random motels, visit prisoners, and among other things. There is no way eighth graders have that capability and resources to do all of that, let alone there parents not allowing them.

Secondly, there was no jump of one year between season 1 and two. First of all, if someone in season 2 said '"a year ago", this could have been said in late season 2, which was around March 2011, and by "a year ago", they meant last September one year before, not a full 12 months.

Also, remember when Seth said "the summer before last", Alison came in the doll shop place. This was almost the last episode of season 2, so at this point, there would have been a time jump of one year. If there was a time jump of year, Seth should have said, "two summers before the last", meaning three summers ago (the summer Ali died, the summer the liars were apart, and the supposed summer that took place during the time jump of one year sometime in season 1 or 2). Two summers ago means the summer Alison died, and the summer the liars were apart. So there was no time jump of one year.

The liars are 17, and the year is 2011. The Katie Perry and Olympic crap are pure continuity errors, just like how the liars have phones that hadn't even came out yet in 2011 (iPhone 5).
