Age and it's importance in online chatrooms

I understand I haven't been ranting much recently. Perhaps an occasional LGBTQ post here and there but let's face it.
I've been lazy.
Thank Merlin there's the no-social-life-Friday to take care of the problem. :)

The age rant:
Since I've got my own computer.. (age 9-11?) I peered into almost all corners of internet and searched the shit out of it. Of course, not literally because that would be quite impossible and also disgusting if you look at it that way. I 'discovered' something that.. Okay I can't really say 'discovered', perhaps just came to terms with..? Erm, realised? Became aware? Forget it.

Here's the thing. (Yes, finally..)
I chat a lot with people over the internet. Penpals, strangers, friends.. 
It all started when I found a pretty cool penpals site and simply started meeting people. (About two years ago..) I had a profile on which there was information about me and blah, blah.. People knew my real age.
All was good until I started chatting with strangers on Omegle or other non-brand chatroom..
You see, if I said I was actually 14-15 people would simply disconnect, not bothering to stay to chat.
If I said I was at least 2 years older, there was a completely different situation. Which raises another question, did those people stay because they thought I was mature enough to have a conversation with or did they just want my 'skype', 'cam' or whatever else.. 
As I was saying, I mostly go on Omegle because I want to meet people, learn about different lifestyles and cultures. I know it's quite hard to find another person on e.g. Omegle that wants to have a proper, decent and intelligent conversation about some recent worldwide news or perhaps just is up for a clean chat. 
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not all that bloody innocent. I wrote and read so much  of smut* and PWP** until now. Oh and the roleplaying.. Oh man. I'm pretty sure I have the mind of a typical teenage, hormonal boy. Perverted and Twisted. Fuck yeah! FTW! Well I'm kinda getting off the subject here.. xD
Erm, right. It's just that sometimes I would really love to chat with someone across the world and perhaps share experiences and compare lifestyles but the second I mention I'm a freshman in High School people assume I'm another typical, wasting-his-bloody-life-drinking-and-smoking-failing-in-school-etc teenager. Or perhaps not even a teenager, a child. Well technically I'm a teen but I don't think of myself as an adult or something but that doesn't mean I can't carry a conversation. I might not be all grown up but I'm not stupid  or less worthy than you. I'm just a less experience human. That's how I see it.

A funny thing happened to me recently.. I was chatting with some 16 year old Australian guy through Omegle. I told him honestly, that I was 15 and Croatian. After a few min of talking, he said:
"There is no way you're 15, your English is too good for a person who's first language isn't English."
With that said, he disconnected before I had the chance to reply. I chuckled at that. (I would say that I laughed but I seriously didn't. I just raised an eyebrow and let out an amused chuckle. Yeah. I know. Reality hitting you hard.) Well this anecdote doesn't just compliment my English skills *blushes heavily* but I find it ironic. When I'm completely honest with other people it back fires on me. Does that mean that if I have to chat with people and be honest about my age I hev tu rajt lajk dis? Bcuz dis iz nto hepiining.
Translation: "I have to write like this? Because this is not happening."
Seriously, I worked bloody hard on my spelling and grammar and to throw it all away because someone doesn't believe me that I am telling the truth? Well fuck you then.


Words you probably didn't know the meaning of:
*Smut - Erm, erotic fanfiction
**PWP - Porn without Plot aka Plot? What Plot?
Hey! Don't judge. I can bet my ass that all of the guys reading this watched more porn than I read and wrote.. :P
I don't know for females.. *cough* same *cough* Well roughly at least.
Oh god.. I seriously need to delete this blog when I have kids. Just.. Yeah.
