There's nothing on the GA DDS website about that.
As of 1/1/2007 you must complete a formal driver's ed program to get a license at age 16. Without the formal driver's ed program you must wait until you're 17. That change is known as "Joshua's Law" and may be what your friends are referring to. There is no change in the age requirement from 15 listed on the DDS website.
You also must be in school with less than 10 unexcused absences and no disciplinary infractions unless you have graduated. If you don't meet that requirement, you must wait until you're 18.

Every state has a different age that you can get your drivers-permit. I got mine when I was 14, and I had to drive for atleast 6 months with an adult before I could drive by myself..but I drove until I was 16 with an adult, since you had to be 16 to drive legally by yourself.

The instructional/learner's permit is given to 15-year-olds who pass a written exam. A licensed driver 21 years of age or older must accompany the permitted driver at all times when they are behind the wheel.

The rumor that you can't get your license until you are 18 (or 21) starting next year has been going on since I was in high school, and that was a few years ago. *grin*
Many states have started graduated licenses, with various restrictions that vanish when you are 18, perhaps that is what your well meaning friends are talking about.
