I've been sent to my room
My brother and I had a fight just now. It's 9PM Friday evening and I've been sent to my room. Adrian (my brother) has too. My parents are in a really bad mood. I have NET access in my room so I'm still around, but being sent to my room (at 9 PM!) is so unfair. I love my brother, but he's such a *ing idiot sometimes. I'm *really upset about this.
**ing parents! And they tell me to stop crying like a baby! What the ** do they expect when they do this to me?

Thanks Skitt. That made me feel *SO* much better.
(Skitt, sorry. It's just that this thing wasn't my fault)

The more you write stuff like this, the less I believe you're really a
14 year old. (I know, here we go again). I just simply don't know of anykid of any age who would admit to being so oversensitive as to find himself throwing up over his treatment on a newsgroup, let alone to crying because he's been sent to his room.

If you're really 14 and it's really 9 p.m., shouldn't you be asleep in bed by now?

[nq:1]Does it really matter? If he's not 14, he (or she) gets a kick at pretending to be so and so what?[/nq]
he/she gives 14-year-old boys a bad name?
Er, no. Hold on! 14 year old boys already have a bad name.
