You are very young, and it's very hard to be a young person on the internet. There are a lot of rules to learn, and a lot of people will be hard on you if you break them. But, none of us here have learned all of them overnight, so don't be discouraged if you don't, either. I'm confident you'll get the hang of it--it will just take time. It could take many years of practice and embarrassing mistakes. I know it did for me!

The best advice I can think of right now is to never take anything personally, and to always try to be an easy-going, agreeable person online. If you do something wrong, no worries--apologize to minimize your reputation loss, and avoid doing that thing again in the future. Also--until you are 10000% positive that you are a socially-savvy internet expert, AVOID anything that looks like an argument. It's very easy to type things that you don't mean, and to have people hold these things against you forever. (I learned that one firsthand.  Ouch.)

Be careful out there, but don't be afraid to keep trying. Have a nice day :) thank you
