Confessions of a young mind

To all who post on FreeRepublic,

I believe the time has come to speak to you on a matter that what I feel is greatly important.

I have been on FR, posting since a week after the September 11th attacks. And..... at that time..... I was 11. I am 13 now. You may have thought I was a grown adult, with a family and kids. Nope. Never happened.

I thought that no one would accept me here, being a kid...no one would take me seriously or respect my opion, or want to hear it, for that matter. Alot of kids have their brain melting inside their head. So, I made up an adult me, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was fine, all fine.

But truthfully, it's been on my mind since the day I signed up, and now I'm coming clean. I'm so sorry to all of you, and I may have hurt a few people just now. Once again, I'm truly sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

I specifically want to apologize to:

-Jim Robinson. Sir, I am sorry for what I've done. I've broken the rules like a total idiot. If I wanted respect I should have shown it, and I utterly failed to do so. If you feel I must be banned from here, I understand 100%. Go ahead if you wish. But, if you can find it in your heart-of-hearts to forgive me, I will be forever grateful to you, and will be 100% honest from now on.

-The AdminModerator. Everything I said to Jim Robinson goes for you as well. I am deeply sorry for all that I've done.

-Zavien Doombringer and the other Viking Kitties. I've worked along side you fellows in ZOTing trolls, yet I very well could be considered a troll myself. I've led you to believe that I was a grown man, when really I'm just a teenager. You have all been wonderful to me, and I'm sorry for the toes I'm stepping on and the feelings I'm hurting. My apologies to all of you.

And now, my apology to all the FReepers out there:

I'm going to be blunt. I'm a jerk, a lousy coward, and a liar. I've been crooked about my entire self for the past 2 years. I apologize to all of FR for what I've done, even though none of you really knew about it. Still, that's no excuse. I apologize to everyone.

Again, if you feel banning is the appropriate measure, than by all means, ban me. I deserve it. But if you can forgive me and my arrogance, I would be totally grateful, and I won't live this lie again, not here, not anywhere.

Thank you all for your time, and the past 2 years that you have given me.

Sincerely yours, 4mycountry

I don't think so. I think that 4my is not a 13 yo girl.
I think "her" membership should be suspended unless and until she provides proof of her identity, and gets her parent's permission in writing to participate here.

[spoiler2]

Calm down 4my, you've probably been watching too much SpongeBob, and like him, you've reached your personal breaking point with guilt and deception.

But this is a good thing, as long as you don't take it to the extreme, like he does.

[Zavien Doombringer]

sheeeesh, they are close... mine are 16 1/2, 14, 12 and 10...

I started early :) Been married for 18 and half years! Going strong too!

The Scott Ritter posts started well before I got here.

"I've led you to believe that I was a grown man, when really I'm just a teenager"

Your post #35 reveals that you are really a female.

I have a big problem with all of this. Some posters are being soft with you and maybe somewhat encouraging. If you were a male, then maybe I could be lighter on the doubts of your overall intregity.

Your demographic group [thirteen & female] and your deceit makes you a very dangerous person. Your demographic group most likely has put more persons in jail than any major metropolitan police department for any given year.

I will not post to you ever again least I could be accused of some made up event or crime.

[CyberCowboy777]

Do you wnat proof of my identity?

You do not even have a profile page. Are you male or female?

[SarahW]

And as an addendum, if anyone doubts her now, she's only herself to blame. She's admitted misrepresenting herself.
I think its quite appropriate to suspend her until she both proves her identity and gets parental permission.

[Zavien Doombringer]

I don't think so. I think that 4my is not a 13 yo girl. I think "her" membership should be suspended unless and until she provides proof of her identity, and gets her parent's permission in writing to participate here.

Relax, what difference does it make anyway...who is to argue your age? The style of writting and the topics do seem to be a bit mature for 13 yr olds, but what about these 12 year old prodigies going to college?

I think we need to see your parents permission for you to post here.

[4mycountry]

You have my word that I am 13.

My father, Mobilemitter, post here, though not often, and my mother lurks here.

>>>I think "her" membership should be suspended unless and until she provides proof of her identity,

I'm not sure how I would do that...

>>>and gets her parent's permission in writing to participate here.

That would be unpractical. How would you know it was my mom and dad? And besides, both my parents know I post here and are perfectly fine about it.

All you can take is my word. Do with it what you wish. Your opinion is yours, and I'll leave it at that.

If you can't find it locally, check on the internet. Normally, I wouldn't recommend this book to someone your age for a variety of reasons but I think you can handle the tone of the book. I will warn you, it does have some graphic violence and a tiny bit of sexual references in it but for the most part, it is one of the most revealing looks into the human mind I've ever seen. It isn't an easy book to read but it is a rewarding book to read.

My copy is in shreds now. I have to get another of my own too. My wife wants to read it.

Oh, and since everyone else is posting their info...

31, married, no kids and into comic books, cartoons, shooting, military vehicles, and giving liberals nightmares.

I hope you aren't banned.

I can understand why you did it, but thanks for coming clean and we don't think any less of you for being younger.

Heck, I am just 20 myself...we need more young Freepers.

[stainlessbanner]

I'm a jerk, a lousy coward, and a liar.

You got a future in politics!

Stick around! Don't bail.

[Ichneumon]

By the way...shhh, don't tell anybody. I'm actually Brad Pitt. ;)

I've never told a lie, and neither has my wife, Morgan Fairchild.

[tortoise]

Yeah. And I'm a 27 year-old porn star.

Wow. You too? I didn't realize there were so many of us on FR.

You have been here 4 years longer than me, you haven't provided anything on your "about" page.

What do you have to hide? Are you male with a female name, are you a "Plant" or a "sleeper" for the DU?

gimme a break, and give 4my one too...At least she confessed.

[4mycountry]

no kids and into comic books

I have about 200 Archie Comic books and a manga XD .

[SarahW]

She lied by her own admission, and also "admits" to being 13. That's reason enough to be skeptical and to ask her parents to get involved.

[TheBigB]

I think its quite appropriate to suspend her until she both proves her identity and gets parental permission.

Good thing nobody give's a rat's @$$ about what you think is appropriate and what is not. JimRob determines that; there is no age requirement here. and I think we should see an IQ test result before you're allowed to post any further.

[y2k_free_radical]

Never too young for idealism and patriotism-glad to see another who thinks like i did at same ages.MAY GOD BE WITH YOU
