I'll reiterate that it's all dependent on the person. I used to have complete internet freedom, but now it's got parental controls after a variety of "privilege abuses". I'm homeschooled, but at the same time I know more things that some public schoolers in the realm of nitty-gritty gutter-minded-ness. I started playing Halo at the age of 13 or 14, and I ended up here within six months because I've always been something of a writer.

Personally, I think Halo has helped me: it pushes my creativity to write via Halo Fanon, my knowledge of real world issues and ideals through HF once again, and it tests my reflexes and quick thinking when I actually play the game; if I had LIVE, I'm certain it would be even better (unless it completely ate away my life, but we'll not focus on that right now).

Overall, I repeat, know the person: blanket statements cause most of the world's problems I believe, because many just aren't true
