View Full Version : Something you all should know...
westernrider 04-10-2004, 05:23 AM OK...I have never been completely comfertible about giving out personal information on forums. So when I first came here I didn't feel good telling my age because of some of the things that I know have happened. So I have something I thought I need to tell you. I am not 15 :eek: . Yeah it is true... I am 13. :P. I already told lissa through pm and I talk to kicker about it through AIM. And they both seem fine with it. All of you are really nice and I have become friends with all of you. So it was hard for me to do this but I felt bad not doing it because I feel like I am lying to hundreds of people (which is true). I hope you all understand. I have not lied about anything else. I really do live in Austin with my one sister :P. At least I only lied by 2 years instead of saying I was like 25 or something heh. I hope you can all trust me. Then again you never know who is not telling the truth on onlie things like this. The ironic thing was I was actually going to tell you all this the same day Dan did the april fool joke about being a 12 year old girl :lolol: so I decided not to do it then because I thought you would all think it was a joke too. Haha… now I feel really stupid for all the times I acted like a freshman 0_o
Well I love you all!

P.S. do not worry... it is not like I am leaving the forum :P I just thought I would tell you all :D
salomeyasobko 04-10-2004, 05:38 AM you know what's weird? i always thought you were 13 :D i guess i either didn't read the year right in your profile or i just never read it at all. but that's okay, i don't care, i'm 13 too. heh i don't see why there'd be a problem, you joined when you were 13, right? so, yeah :stickout:
wait.. are you in 7th or 8th grade? because i assumed you were in 8th.. but now that you're saying you lied by two years and aren't a freshman, that means that you're a 7th grader, right? i'm just confused :buckt: but it's okay, i still love you :lol:

That's Ok. Though this is a kid forum. I'm thirteen as well. Though I know what you mean. I used to do that in a few forums..pretend I was like a year or two older than I was actually.. CHERISH YOUR YOUTH! That's my motto. My birthday is in July. When is yours?
Valkyrie 04-10-2004, 05:45 AM Its ok! I use to do it too. I use to say I was a couple of years older, back then.
So no worries. ^_^
westernrider 04-10-2004, 05:51 AM lol ^-^ thank you... I feel a lot better... well then again you KNOW some other people lie because I remember seeing someone of the birthday page and it said they were turing 100 :lolol: well thank you sal, valkyrie, and ayosu_ling... yeah I am in the 7th grade *shifty eyes* but I am the only 7th grader in the 8th grade band.. so I guess.. that.. erm... helps 0_o... lol
I had a feeling you weren't the same age as me :P
Rosey 04-10-2004, 06:18 AM i always thought you were 14 ...lol
*HUG*
cutelilkittie 04-10-2004, 06:41 AM I'm 14 2/7 and I act like I'm 7 whoo hoo! Go western rider! I actually thought you were 15... but nothing wrong! Oh if you don't know, I'm one of ur secret fans! Ride on! Ugh too much lost sleep... <(@_@)>
zangerbanger 04-10-2004, 07:43 AM OH MY! YOU BAD BAD GIRL! HOW COULD YOU?! DID YOU KNOW THAT LYING IS SUCH A BIG CRIME! YOU DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED FOR THIS!!!
Just kidding. It's not really a big deal. I mean, you only have to be 12 to be on the forum and you're 13, so it's all good ;) . I didn't know about this forum until I was 14 but a little lie won't hurt anybody.
Marianne 04-10-2004, 08:43 AM We discussed it in the mod section actually, and some of us thought perhaps you were under 13 even.
However, I must say that your attitude has changed a lot since you first joined, at the time you were acting a lot less mature than today.
Lissa 04-10-2004, 01:10 PM Yeah, I never actually knew you were "15." I thought you were 12 or 13 :D
OH MY! YOU BAD BAD GIRL! HOW COULD YOU?! DID YOU KNOW THAT LYING IS SUCH A BIG CRIME! YOU DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED FOR THIS!!!
Just kidding. It's not really a big deal. I mean, you only have to be 12 to be on the forum and you're 13, so it's all good ;) . I didn't know about this forum until I was 14 but a little lie won't hurt anybody.
Actually a lie about something like that CAN be a big deal. If she was under 13 and lied about her age, Lissa could get in big trouble..
westernrider 04-10-2004, 03:25 PM Well that is good to know :D . I knew that It probably wasn't going to be that big of a deal. But I just felt icky about it. And I didn't want any of you to think I was 15... bleck... so I feel a lot better now :) thank you all.
starlet 04-10-2004, 03:29 PM So did you lie about it just because you wanted to seem a little older than you are, or because you knew you were too young to be on this forum?
westernrider 04-10-2004, 03:32 PM Well... more because I didn't feel safe about telling my age... now I find that, that is just stupid and I will be perfectly fine here. And I think it had a little to do with I wanted to feel a bit older :P
Neptune 04-10-2004, 04:15 PM Lol Sophie, I didn't really know you were saying you were 15. I did think you were 13 or 14ish in my thoughts (are you sure you didn't mention it before?). No worries, we all still love you lots ;)
westernrider 04-10-2004, 04:18 PM hahaha... yeah... I used to always sign my birthday as 1980 because it was easy to remember so that is they ever asked me my birthday again I would remember what I put... lol :lolol:
Neptune 04-10-2004, 04:22 PM Oops, edited out the whole "when I was younger I used to say I was in my twenties. Not that I'd really go about saying I was twenty, but when I'd sign up for random things I'd just say I was born in the late 70's or early 80's."
LesPaul59 04-10-2004, 09:06 PM That's Ok. Though this is a kid forum. I'm thirteen as well. Though I know what you mean. I used to do that in a few forums..pretend I was like a year or two older than I was actually.. CHERISH YOUR YOUTH! That's my motto. My birthday is in July. When is yours?
hah I thought you were 15 or 16, not 13. We're all learning new things!
Cherchezlafemme 04-10-2004, 10:16 PM I kinda thought you were around like 13 12 ish lol I kinda knew that you weren't 15 you don't sound like that age at all since i'm around there [in one more month] (not to be offensive just observative) :) If it's for personal safety i suppose it's alright
*hugs* I thought you were 14, too... :confusion
Anyway that's cool 'cause I'm 13 too! YAY! o_0 Anyway... yeah... but I'm gonna be 14 in like 2 weeks. Kewlies.
That's OK, I forgive you, I trust you, blah blah blah! We still luv you Sophie! :D
westernrider 04-11-2004, 12:05 AM lol... yay... I feel much better... lol... I will be 14 in.. I donno.. about another 11 months... hey... it is exactly 11 months because today in the 10 and my birthday is march 10... :lol:
Makar 04-11-2004, 12:41 AM I was 15 when I joined the forums, so I didn't have to lie about my age to get in. Until I was 13 I used to lie about my age because I (not to mention my parents) was too lazy to deal with the parental permission thing. (My original Neopets account must still say I was born in '87 :hehe: )
But yeah, I can see how you would feel insecure about your age. It seems that 13 and 14 year olds are the victoms in a lot of cybercrimes, at least that's what I've read anyway. Not to freak anyone out... :eek:
It's not like something like that would happen here. :)
salomeyasobko 04-11-2004, 01:09 AM hey didn't you go in the 13+ forum :confusion you bad bad girl.. haha just kidding :stickout:
Neptune 04-11-2004, 01:10 AM I'm assuming that's because they lack a bit of common sense. A family member met someone on the internet who was about 14 who (in her blog) mentioned a ton of really stupid stuff, like her phone number, street adresses, they way she gets home from school, what she looks like, etc., and my family member comes to find out she lives in the same town as we do! It's really a crime in itself that so many people are so very uninformed about interent safety.
tkdgurl927 04-11-2004, 01:19 AM thats ok sophie...we still love you! i discovered this forum when i was 16 so everythings all good! :)
westernrider 04-11-2004, 02:51 AM hey didn't you go in the 13+ forum :confusion you bad bad girl.. haha just kidding :stickout:
eh... well I am 13 :P
Shortie Girl 04-11-2004, 04:03 AM I use to do that, too. Back then. In chatrooms. You never know about chatrooms, you know?
Since this is a kiddie forum, I was worried that I was too old to join, you know? I'm not though. I am only 16. There are a few that are older than me.
Just saying. :)
