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

In high school I talked more to my teachers than to other students, so I know what you mean about being more comfortable with adults...lol.

[4mycountry]

Thanks, and welcome to FR. (I see you are a newbie.)

[meadsjn]

I don't see that you have done anything wrong. There are people here who are 40 or 50 years old who are pretending to be grown adults.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Ok, by your logic, you do not believe she is 13. - fine

By your logic she needs to have her parents get involved - *ALARM*

Which is it, is she 13 or not?

[SarahW]

The "Sarah" should be a small clue. My posts are my profile. Plus folks here know my DH,
PatrickHenryinVA.

Indeed. I fly off the handle rather easily. It is amazing I am still here and not banned for life.....lol.

I haven't even been suspended for crying out loud (not that I am complaining, but it is somewhat amazing) since I can get mad easily.

[Ol' Sox]

Always listen to God.

In saying this, you have shown yourself wise beyond your years. You belong here.

Even Ron Jeremy posts on FR!

[Zavien Doombringer]

I'm 38 tomorrow, but I feel and act 16...does that count?

[y2k_free_radical]

ROTFLMAO

[CyberCowboy777]

Proof how?

The name and address of a 13 year old girl posted on the internet?

skeptical? sure. but what are you going to do?

[4mycountry]

I am very comfortable around adults, and that's partly because of how much I hang around my Mom. She's my best bud.

Another part is FR. I like to talk about politics and world happenings. Most kids my age talk about how bad the cafeteria pizza is. So I'm more "adult-friendly".

And it could be because I'm very independent. I'm perfectly happy hanging out with Me, Myself and I. I don't need a clique, I have me! lol

[spodefly]

Don't feel bad kid.

People here think that I'm a middle-aged right wing gun nut homophobe, when in reality I'm actually a lesbian communist vegetarian that drives a hybrid car.

seriously!

[fish hawk]

Except for the apology, you have the makings of a Lawyer. Then on to being a politician.

[4mycountry]

>>>The "Sarah" should be a small clue.

If it helps you any, my name is Sarah.

[Zavien Doombringer]

What I am implying is that, it doesn't matter. If she/he is lying...what did it do for you? Was it personal?

This is a message board, you can get up and walk away and your life has never changed, relationships haven't changed. You are looking at a screen with words on it.

You say your name is Sarah and that should be my clue...hmmm, do you know any transesxuals that could be named Sarah? How about any female imposters on chat rooms named Sarah...look, if you want to be known as Sarah, that's fine but I will give you a hint, my real name isn't Zavien...

>>>Except for the apology, you have the makings of a Lawyer. Then on to being a politician.

I am deeply saddened...

[SarahW]

I said unless and until she provides proof of her identity, and her parent's approval, she should be suspended.


Assume she is on the up and up now:
4my should have her parent's supervision and approval, IMHO, (my 12 yo son (13 in Oct) would require same.) There is mature content on the site.

I presume her parents would not have permitted her to create a false identity here, so they do not know of her participation.

However, I doubt that she is a 13 yo girl, and that doubt is justified by her own actions even if her confession is genuine.

[Zavien Doombringer]

If you doubt she is a 13 year old girl, then what's your problem? I doubt your name is Sarah...big deal...

There isn't an age requirement, there are rules on what not to post, I do not feel threatened to have my children post here. This is a learning tool! She admitted that her parents let her post and that her dad is a memner Freeper...do you not read the postings?

If you think it is all lies, you are free to leave this thread...

[rwfromkansas]

Granted I only have seen some of her quotes, but I checked her posting history and she appears to fit in quite nicely.
