I am a Little Girl on AFF

Majority of my friends who I encountered with assumes I am older from what I really am, and the others just happen to know my age because of previous blogs. I maybe counted into those "little girls" here on AFF who are between 10-13 or whatnot because I am only 12. And I am also aware of the fact that these "little girls" are labeled as those childish ones who breaks out fire-wars on the friendly surfaces of the site.

Yes, I joined the site a year and a half ago, and I was pretty much dumb back then, not really taking criticisms and broke down afterwards. As what every beginner would experience, you would react badly to things you have never encountered before such as harsh criticism, lack of subs, etc. Scared because being the younger ones and being the one "who can easily be bullied."

But because I loved to write in both the physical and social world, I am also a feature writer on our school organ myself, I came to realization that I must take criticism the way it should be if I wanted to continue to write. I had my stories reviewed before and took those things they pointed out to actually improve and be a better writer. For 3 years I am already writing in both the net and real life, I was used to criticisms. Heck, the school paper advisers of my school's school paper criticizes my works in front of me, personally, and harshly. 

Saying, "Your coherence of ideas are lacking! You should at least cut your paragraph here, there, etc."

A year after the birth of m account, I still make stories. Some says, "If you cant handle the fire, then get out!" But in my perspective, I think I was able to step on that burning fire for surviving with a year and a half of being active. 

Also, I cannot take out the fact that I am still "immature," "childish" and all because I have nearly been living for 12 years and I know is to have fun, play with my Chuckie doll and whatnot.  

A 7th Grade Student is behind this blogpost. 12 years old and a  Filipino citizen.

Some of you may hate me for this confession and stereotype me as a "little girl," some may be confused, some may be weirded, and of course, some may not even care but at least, give me the time to at least thank you very much for listening into my confession and if you may, leave an advice if I should stay in AFF or leave for the better. Don't worry, I wont take your helpful criticisms harshly.

Why would you leave this site or any site you like visiting? Follow your passion! Anyone can spit a harsh comment on your face but it's up to you whether you'll that seriously or if you choose to use it for your own good! Being a 12 years old girl doesn't make any difference to me. Immaturity is not defined by age and childish can be a part of you even forever.
