You have very sophisticated taste for music that’s older than you are. Unless of course you’re 50. ---

Talk about yourself. Where do you live? In the US? What state? What did you have for breakfast today. Tell us why you like the music you like. Maybe you’re just shy, but at the moment you also sound evasive because you provide no details. How could we know you are who you say you are? ---

The main thing is, people need a better reason to talk to a person than what you’ve provided. Give us a reason to care or something to converse about. You’re supposedly 14 and have sexual fantasies. Ok, almost everyone was like that, so what? That’s not a topic to run with. The least you could do is try and give us a bunch of reasons why you think you’re not “normal” so we can prove you wrong. ---

The least you could do is try and give us a bunch of reasons why you think you’re not “normal” so we can prove you wrong. I’d say the main thing is that no one believes a 14-year-old girl would post this question to this message board. ---

eighth grade — U.S. idiom, so possibly USian, though I’ve used it on purpose once or twice. rock-pop — 14-year-olds eschew hyphens. How could I prove I am who I say I am? — A 14-year-old wouldn’t type “could”; “can” would be much more natural. I’ve always behaved like im older. But how is that sophisticated? — Too sophisticated a question for a 14-year-old. But the missing apostrophe is a good touch; pretending to type on a phone or fondleslab. I told you about myself, now its your turn — Good use of a comma splice. ---

Holy Crap guys give the girl a chance. Yes, I too clicked on the thread to be entertained by the nonsensical ramblings of what is probably a troll and/or bot, but OP has at least passed the first round test of “responded to a post”. Feel free to make fun of me if/when the poster never posts again or leaves in a week or whatever, but at least give em some shred of BOTD… ---

> [@Megumi\_1](#): > > 1. I dont understand half of what you said 2) If you wanna coment my english blame my english teacher color me skeptical too. Your English is getting worse as the thread progresses. also, “wanna” seems like an attempt to sound 14 (in the US) but I would be surprised if it’s common amongst people who learned English in Romania. ---

I dunno; I can believe that a 14-year-old might worry about whether or not she was “normal,” and might turn to an anonymous message board for reassurance. ---

No, it’s fine. Let them be suspicious, I know what I’m saying is the truth I don’t need their aproval (sp?). It’s actually fun to see what they come up with. ---

Sometimes, “she” uses an apostrophe when writing a contraction, other times “she” doesn’t. Sometimes, “she” misspells words and doesn’t acknowledge it, and now “she” is using (sp?). But yeah, this seems totally legit.
