Thanks to my boring Friday afternoon, I ran across this mess of a topic!
LOL at defending a 14 y/o. Ya'll clearly have never crossed paths with one on xbox live playing Call of Duty.

I think there's a difference between the demographic of 14 y/o's using a diva forum and 14 y/o's playing a war game. Even then you can't just stereotype and assume everyone is like that. Either way, he didn't do anything to warrant a rude reaction.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I looked at his blatant eagerness for the Facebook page as a misguided attempt to make fast friends rather than being suspect. Who knows what outlet he has to be himself irl?

I feel bad for him. Even if he wasn't 14, he still didn't deserve that kind of treatment. That wasn't sarcasm; it was just plain cruel. I wish he would come back here so we can tell him that he doesn't need to leave the board completely because this isn't what the rest of it is like.

As far as I'm concerned this isn't to do with how we'd treat a fourteen year old so much as how we'd treat a brand new member with no history going and starting a Facebook group and advertising it here. It's only because it was a Pulse group he started that we're still talking about it, if it was bedroom cabinets this would be locked by now. I really don't think you can look at this the same way you can look at a young, potentially EAL member who we know and who doesn't just have nine posts starting us a Facebook group. That difference makes it seem suspect. Exactly, which is why I doubted this person may even be 14 years old in the first place. Notice how convenient it was to pull the "Sorry, I'm only 14 years old" card. T bh I pulled out that card a lot when I was 12-14 "Yes, I did/said something stupid but I'm only 13 :'("

I think it's just as cruel to be openly discussing his social skills like this.
