Your experience is showing in the fact that you can't spell experience correctly.

Some sites will ban you if they find out that you are falsifying your birthday, especially if you're under 13, because that falls under the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which specifically addresses that any person under the age of 13 cannot provide potentially personally identifying information online.

I'm 15. Most people that I talk to online know I'm 15. Certainly all of my programming buddies and Ubuntu buddies know my age. I'm 15 and I administer UNIX servers and build/administer computer networks.

It's not the age that makes the person, nor the experience, but the maturity and the professionalism in which they act. If you don't act mature and professional online, especially in a web forum such as this, then no one will respect you. I figured that out first-hand. Being mature and professional also implies using your actual details in your online profiles. Because you can't take a person seriously when they blatantly lie about who they are.

Im not a teenager but i am one at heart. does that count? :p ;)

i agree that a persons age shouldnt matter in determining friendship. however i believe its actually a persons personality that makes a person. as someone can be experienced in this an that to the very hilt,, but if that person treats you like crap an gets on your nerves an frays your patience when ever youre around that person youre not gunna wanna be all buddy-chums with them regardless of how experienced they are. youre gunna wanna avoid them as much as possible V.S being around someone whos actually pleasant an fun to be around cuz of of their personalty even though that person has less experience or maybe even no experience in some matters just yet.

You should all be very proud of yourselves! :) Good luck to each and every one of you.

Wow, thank you so much Ellie!! That really means a lot. And I'm sure that Bri and Zara appreciate that as well!
:love:

Bri, I totally get what you are saying! I have seen quite a few clients that struggle to pay for their pet's medical bills upfront and all at once, so I think it is a great idea, and I KNOW that SO many people will appreciate it!:)

Yep, I certainly do appreciate it too!

I'm really excited about it, I just hope the idea is as achievable as I imagine it is. I'm pretty sure it's going to take a lot of work though, but I have at least 7.5 more years to think about it so :p

I'm a junior in high school, too! :) I'm not on here as much as I used to be [or as much as I'd like] but I AM on here. I usually lurk vs. post threads now, though.

I'm always up for talking :D
