I'm 13. Is that a problem?

Blame generalisation. It happens to everybody.

EDIT: I find it hilarious when gamers start an outcry whenever the media is targeting them because of some douches who decided to shoot each other up after playing a game yet they are happily doing the same.

Just sayin'

What? I don't run around shooting my friends.. Would you mind explaining that?

Their voices, my GOD their voices! They give me the creeps! D':
And that most that I've heard thinks they are cool if they say "*****" or "mothafucka" once in awhile. Heard a 17 (I think) year old do it once though. I felt ashamed of being a teenager!

Blame the Mics, because they make almost everyone's voice sound girlish, or like a prepubescent child

and in a wider sense, most videos on youtube suck, and the a stereotype is that it was made by 13 year olds.

So true, I'm post-pubescent and I still have to change my voice when I talk so I don't sound like a b***h.

I am 15 and the mic always makes my voice sound really deep for some reason.

Really? It shouldn't, cause microphones can't pick up some type of vibration in your vocal chords, hence it being higher.

People actually accuse me of making my voice deeper to hide that I am 15.

A shitty age stereotype brought on by Xbox Live.

They have good reason for it, I once got into a conversation with a friend of mine who calls himself a gamer and still thinks Zelda is the main character.

I shit you not. Us 13 year old with intellect are apparently a rare breed. I feel smart though, so that's nice.

Stereotyping. Just don't be the stereotype, and anyone that matters won't categorise you with it.

No, no, my point is that while gamers hated it when the media started to generalising them as being homocidal maniacs whenever a violence act got link back to a video game, the gamers themselves are happily generalising the whole 13 years old demographic as being racist, homophobic etc...

Can't you see the irony in that?

[bobknowsall]

Because the internet is a cruel place, and because the voices of prepubescent people just tend to grate when transmitted through a mic. But you're not alone, and you seem sensible enough. I'm sure you'll do well once your voice breaks.

I'm a 13-year-old boy who likes video games. No Halo or MW2, but Mario and Zelda. But, according to some, we are a race of loud-mouthed-XBox-loving-curse-flinging-homo-phobia-ing(?) idiots with no taste. I'm a little tired of this segregation between the two age groups.
In a wider sense, 13-year-olds on the internet are a problem too. All our videos on youtube apparently suck and we should GTFO because we are a waste of space.
Why?

Because stereotypes are based on truth, its in keeping an open mind that we avoid being dumbasses ourselves though. If you're an exception then I welcome you, I know a 15 year old who's far more mature than me and I didn't hold it against him when he was 12. I'll admit that hearing high pitched voices on a Mic is irritating to me, though I dislike pretty much all use of a Mic, but I wouldn't hold it against your character.

 

[Harrowdown]

You're what I like to call a "Hosenfeld". You see, Wilm Hosenfeld was a German officer during the second world war who helped many Poles, both jewish and non-jewish, escape from his fellow Nazi's. Obviously, he was a great guy. However, the rest of the nazi's were not. Like Hosenfeld, you're a pretty decent sort of chap surrounded by douchebags.

I call Godwin's Law on myself.

 

[Explosm]

well im 11 and i feel the same way

Ban Hammer ?

 

[JayJayinMay]

Im 14 and i dont really know if im Mature or not.If i get killed on a game,and simply hum the anger away,or sigh,or something,i dont plug in my mic and screech cause they wouldnt let me kill them.event though it was SO OBVOIUSLEY THIER FUALTS.

*ahem*

Anyway,i havent told any of my online freinds my age,i doubt they would treat me different if i did.They're good freinds.

Why?

I do not really have a problem with kids in general. The high voice is something I hear every day as a teacher so I don't mind, its not your fault your voice has not broke yet so I don't understand why people get so worked up over it.

In fact I don't think I have ever encountered an annoying kid online, I play on the PC though so I guess the majority of kids are on Xbox Live and PSN with a small amount on the PC.

In the end though I think it comes down to two things.

1) kids generally being annoying.
2) Older teens trying to distance themselves and picking on younger kids.

Maturity is not determined by age true, but you will find the majority of 13 year olds are immature so the label is some what deserved, its just something you will have to put up with for the time being.

 

[child of lileth]

Why?

Because that's exactly how everyone I've ever met on the internet, and in real life, around your age is. It doesn't matter than a handful of you are normal, the majority still speaks for you. And they scream way louder... constantly... about Halo.

 

[Canid117]

This


is why we hate you

Edit: My embed didn't seem to work can someone please fix?

Thank you good sir

 

[TheFacelessOne]

I'm with you brother.

JUDGE US AS INDIVIDUALS, NOT BY OTHERS!

Now you are judging "us" for judging you

Damn, that's a mighty good point...

>.>

 

[Malyc]

Because most 13 year olds on the internet go out of their way to piss everyone off.

Not all are like that, this I know, but it seems a lot are. 5 minutes on Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2 will prove this.

Closer to 2 minutes... after the first shot is fired is usually enough time to figure it out, because the first to die always seems to be someone with a mic.

And the first one to quite always seems to be the host...

You know, it does, doesnt it...
And then you have to wait for like 5 minutes to find another host, after which time half the players get kicked.
