How to say how old you are. Would the phrase "17最です" work to say "I am seventeen years-old"? Or does it have to start with 私は?

It does not have to start with 私は. it sounds more polite though if you say 私は17歳です。 if someone ask me 「おいくつですか?」or「何歳ですか?」, I would say 「~歳です。」 as you can see,we tend not to say わたしはor あなたは in general conversations.

You would say:私は十七歳です。
