Why does it seem that I can't go on the internet without seeing some comment about "OMG, ur a ton of loooser 12 year olds who have nothing bttr 2 do than play a retarded game like this *** **** **** **** *". What does everyone have against twelve-year-olds? I remember being twelve and hating how no one took me seriously and I was always left out because I wasn't a "teeenaaageeer". Why does such a thing matter? I was much more mature than my 15-year-old brother, yet he was allowed to do more than me.

Main discussion points:
1. Why does age matter and not maturity?
2. Why is 12 the typical cut-off age
3. What's with all of those grammar-killers** acting like being 12 is a bad thing.



* asterisks added for emphasis, I didn't actually swear.
** a grammar-killer is someone who tlks liek dis n also uses numbers and bad apostrophes.

there has to be a cut of at some age, it's a legal requirement these days, and i'm afraid 12 drew the short straw

ok, I'm 13, have a squeaky voice, and know how ANNOYING some of those twelve year olds can be, first hand. Not so much the higher voices (because sadly, I too still have a high voice...but it allows me to sing, I guess) that annoy me, is how they react when you're completely and utterly owning them and they start screaming one of the few things at you:
"HACKER!!!"
"Where can I find your Hax?"
"WTF. THIS GAME SUX!!@!@!@!@$!"
"YOU COCK SUCKING NOOOB"
"FUCK YOU YOU LITTLE SHIT"
"GO BACK TO YOUR MOM AND GET IN THE BED YOU ****ING ****"

And that's only a FEW of the cases of fail smack-talk, hell, it's barely worthy of a flame war! I probably accuse them of being a hacker every once and a while, but most 12 year olds that act this way tend to not be able to afford a computer, and they're bitter because they live in a ghetto community.

Me, I'm a master at Combat Arms. I could pop a cap in your face any day in that game, and I normally get kicked or accused of hacking for it, too. However, it's rare to see me cussing another guy off, and I normally (bad habit) get the last word. However, it usually ends when I say, "I came here to play, not to flame". I'm actually teaching this to a lot of the younger community (even though by technicality they shouldn't be there anyways), and a lot of them end up better for it...whoops, I'm ranting.

I, personally, have no freakin' Idea why people bash 12, or more commonly, 13 YEAR OLDS. I know that I hate the number thirteen and mondays because my close grandfather died on Monday the 13th (go figure, ya?), but 13 years old really isn't that bad! It's when we START maturing, get our fuzz (everywhere :P) and have our voices turn the bass on. So why is 13 bashed even MORE than 12?
