I am 16 and I am already a senior in High School. I dare to say that I am very literate for my age. Then again I been having and education that has always been greater than the one other people my age usually get. I love reading too. I think that's a big factor in the fact that I am literate. My brother on the other hand has never picked up a book in his life, he's very iliterate. I feel bad for him, he wastes all his time watching T.V. or using the computer. He's a bad example of the horrors that T.V. can create. stare

heart What's wrong with wasting time watching TV or using the computer? I, personally, do that whenever I am not in the mood for reading, or I just don't have a decent book.
I'm fifteen years old. I've always been literate on the computer, even first starting out on Neopets when I was eight.

Neopets! I still kind of play and I'm 14. My friend recently showed me Gaia and I'm a little in between sites. For a time in the 5-6 grade I would use text talk on AIM, but only on AIM. It was just easier and I wasn't a good typer.

I'n 26, married, and a hopeless anime, TMNT, and video game fan.
And damn proud of it!
I actually ran across someone on Gaia the other day who is 40 years old and still a gamer. HUZZAH! Gamers for life!
True gamers never grow old. We just use up more lives. rofl

I have seen very literate children, like me, speak on the forums. It is quite refreshing seeing other younger people with a big vocabulary.
I, myself, have just turned 10 years old. My mother always sits beside me while I am on the forums, and I have also gained permission, so this is not a problem. No, my mother does not type for me, contrary to popular belief. neutral
Edit: Also, may I add that I have been speaking like this since I was around 7. 3nodding

Just turned 16 on August 11th.
I'm ashamed to admit I had horrible (even worse then now) grammar a couple years ago. But I never used chatspeak, even on MSN ('brb', 'omg', 'imao' are the expections). The worse I ever did, though, was mispell my words and never captalize the I's.

Seriously? It's only two years younger but still... How do you know words like 'contrary' and phrases like 'it is quite refreshing'? I mean, I can see how, because I knew crazy words when I was ten, but still!
Sorry, I just- am not used to seeing ANYONE younger than me on the web. I get annoyed at people always being shocked at my age, not as much now but when I was on here at age nine, so I understand if you're frustrated at how at first no one will take you seriously. I got "Hey, kid, go back to preschool!" and "Haha, this isn't the place for you." and just plain "go awai!11!!! we dun wnt u kds heer."

I'm proud that your quiet eloquent in your speech. I notice most kids your age don't speak so well. I think it has to do with current trends and slang, but that's only an opinion. By the way I just turned 19.

Silvermaiden True gamers never grow old. We just use up more lives. rofl I love that, it's great. I am 20. In elemenary school I used to read from the YA section. Except, I had to get books from the public library to do so at times, because my (Catholic) school library wouldn't always let me into the sections for the books I was currently reading. Apparently 3rd graders should keep to the simple books and away from the teen books, even if the simple books are extremely lame in comparison stare I think I'm still kind of mad at them for that. By the end of elementary/beginning of middle school I was reading some books from the adult section. I can't read txt tlk. I just don't understand a lot of it, and the bits that I do understand take me a while to figure out.

It seems most resonable that adults are more literate than teenagers.
Adults are more knowledgeable & cultivated than teenagers.
Most adults [not all] are concerned about their families, jobs, & saleries. Most teenagers are concerned with school, internet [myspace], & their freedom. They don't want to spend their Friday night indoors with a nice book [to many to say] like I'd prefer.
T.V. & the computer are to much of a distraction for people under 18 to be literate. edit: And with all of that slang people hear today confused
But that doesn't mean that their aren't cultivated teenagers or lazy adults.
Its just another sterotype.
