News to me

Today, I got a call from my parents' divorce lawyer. When I answered the phone, she thought I was my mother and told me the details about my parent's divorce. I'm a 13-year-old boy who sounds like a woman and just learned that my parents are separating. FML

Congratulations, you're a thirteen year old boy on the internet and you're using correct grammar. Your life isn't ******; you still have a future.

That sucks, but your voice ought to deepen eventually.

i'm 20 and i still don't think i'm ready to see most of the internet. if i were you i would ditch the internet and spend your time having fun and making a little trouble irl, because the older you get, the worse punishments get. sucks. anyway, op, that really sucks. but, better to have 2 happy divorced parents that love you than 2 married parents that are always fighting and ignoring you because of it. and your voice is going to change, my 16 year old brother's just broke but it went down like 2 octaves

Poor kid, hope it all works out for you. I think your voice is the least of your worries now...good luck.

Think about it this way. Your mom sounds like a 13 y/o boy. But either way. Sorry, you're life sucks.

Don't worry, my brother is your age and he still sounds like a little boy. Also, most of the 13-year-old boys in my grade 8 class still sounded like boys and plenty of the freshmen at my high school. Don't worry about it; you're completely normal. I'm really sorry you had to find out this way. :( That really sucks.

This still happens to me sometimes and I'm almost 20. Damn you, high voice!

Not very professional from the lawyer to just talk about the divorce, not making sure who she/he was talking to. Violation of duty of confidentiality

What are you trying to say #5? I'm 13 and about to turn 14 in 3 days but that is besides the point. I've always had the ability to use correct grammer. Not every young teen is dumb and stupid. Not every 13 year old types like "dis ye no". (: #70, my brother has a reeeeeeallly deep voice. He's 13 tomorrow.

Both of my brothers sounded like my mother on the phone when they were growing up before their voices deepened. Don't worry about it, the phone distorts it, and it will change soon, anyway. This is a sucky way to find about about the divorce, though.

Seriously, why do people think that thirteen year olds can't be mature and use correct grammar? I'm fifteen, at a college reading level (have been since eight grade, maybe before that) and I could use correct grammar when I was that age. Actually, I just met a thirteen year old yesterday who I thought was my age because he seemed so mature. Just because the youth of America is growing up a bit fast doesn't mean they aren't having fun. Tinker toys and Barbie Dolls are for kids between the ages of two years old to around nine or ten. Maybe eleven, depends on the kid. Thirteen year olds are still technically teenagers, and should be given same respect. True, they're still young and don't know everything there is to know, but it's the same if your twenty-two! Nobody knows everything. Point is, think before you say something. Just because you acted a certain way at that age doesn't mean everyone acts that way at that age. Times change. And to the OP: I'm sorry about your parents. I'm going through the same thing, so I know how you feel. But instead of a lawyer calling me, I had to hear my parents screaming about it downstairs. Hope it works out
