born and brought up

[DevDev]

I know it is correct to say 'I was born and brought up at so and so place'

But, I find some people say 'I am born and brought up at ...' and they
get shocked when I say 'I was ...', I believe they misunderstand that
we should use 'I was born ...' while talking only about the expired people,
please clarify, thank you.

Hi,
In your answer i must say as far as i'm concerned I've never heard i am born;
as you might well know it's a passive form,and it happened in the past,
but in some cases you might wanna say when i survived from the car crash i felt like i am born again.so here cause it is happening right now you can say that.
something that i got from my experience tell me , English speaking is not just grammar,so it's better off keep our mind on thing which worth it.
hope it works out:)

In normal usage 'I was born and brought up in so and so place' is the correct form.
