Critters, there are many kind of people here, different age, education, culture, etc.
For young people like you, it's hard to splash into the community as an instantly popular person.
Many of us are as old as your teachers, or maybe your parents.
Many of us are thinking that they are smarter than your teachers and parents.
And you are probably new to the community, so it's even harder.
words don't come easy ;-)
