I swear...our parents just don't give us as much credit as we deserve. We're not as irresponsible as they think we can be sometimes.
hehehe, I know the feeling. My mom asks me the same questions, so I just say "I'm more knowledgable about the internet than you and I can handle myself" or something along those lines, besides she talks to people online as well so it's fair ^_^. If my dad was still alive, things would probably be a lot more strict.
I started my online life (I guess it is a life) at about 12 years old (pretty old now compared to these 10 year olds running around the net now
). Anyways, I've talked to people from all over the world (even someone from Israel), to people of all ages; even people who are/were 40, 50 and even 60 once (although, he was kind of...strange, I'll leave it at that). A lot of those people thought I was way older than I actually was. Infinite8, I'm sorry to hear about what has transpired. I hope you work through this barrier blocking your path and find a way to return things to the way your like them
