Cool Holaaa
Hey

I guess I should introduce myself...
I'm 14. Yeah, yeah. Teenagers are so stupid! Teens cause problems! They drink and take drugs, they can't write well!
I'm probably that 0.01% that doesn't do any of those things. I'm serious about writing, so I decided to join. I'm fed up of those kiddy forums that are full of prepubescent girls asking for feedback on their "but it's not like Twilight!" vampire novels.
I hope I'll have a good stay, hasta la vista!

PS. Oh and I make cheesy jokes all the time.

I hope so, for the sake of humanity. I don't see how the people at my school are gonna spawn healthy, useful kids that contribute to the economy instead of taking our money away :/
