Hello I am a [u]13 year old[/u] gamer and I play [b]Destiny[/b]. When I join someone or go on [b]raids [/b]I am Called "[i]Squeaker[/i]".
I am apparently someone to laugh at and abuse for being [u]2 years[/u] younger then another person. About 1 in 15 people are nice and don't care. When I need help with a Raid I invite people and ask people for help, then I am abused because I am [u]13 [/u]and have a voice that is kind of high.
I play with[u] 6-9 year old's[/u] if they need help... most other people just bully them and ruin the experience of Communication on this awesome [b]MMO[/b]. I love [b]Destiny [/b]it is fascinating and enjoyable... but about [b]70%[/b] of the community are bullies towards "Little Kids". If you don't want to play with someone because they have a voice that you absolutely can't stand, don't be a Bully just say "Sorry I really don't want to do this... I want to do other things" as appose to hurting feelings and being a dick.
You were a kid once whats wrong with it?
If they are screaming in the microphone and being really Annoying then give them a chance tell them your gonna kick them if they keep going, then if they keep going don't retaliate just be chill and say "Hey you had your warning... sorry your being kicked".
The thread is about people being bullies after they say a few words in a high voice. Also if they try to be funny don't laugh and say that wasn't really that funny try something else. About 4 years ago I got Xbox with COD and I did these things to so I can understand why people gave them this reputation. I feel it should be changed a little bit. Fighting fire with fire never works out it's just a waste of time.
If this is changed I would think [b]Destiny [/b]would be more inviting and people under [u]14 [/u] would enjoy it a lot more!
Also shut up about ratings. Look at the movies people sneak in all the time your not gonna stop anything.
In Australia you are allowed to play it so you can't say crap about kids from Aussie. Think of something without involving ratings or do you need to rely on them?
[spoiler]Australia has different spelling and grammar and I am 13 get off my case.[/spoiler]

Just mute your mic untill you know how the people in the fireteam are. Best solution
-
I only get annoyed if you talk alot and/or try to boss me around.
-
I'm a kid with 2 32s people don't really care but this one guy who just hates my whole family.. LOL
-
Rated t for teen...kind of don't want to play with kids
-
I agree with you. I would love a calmer, cooler, and collected community. The problem is little dude, or dudette, most of the community hates on people for one reason or another. It's caustic crap. There is a lot of psychological background shit that they can't get straight so they burn it off on some one else. Speak out for what you belive in but get ready for the fight too.
-
Masculinity amirite?
-
High voices aren't the problem. High voices that don't shut up, randomly quit, or talk to their friends in the background are.
-
It's not a problem unless the squeaker does dumb ass shit. Constantly see this, just doing some plain stupid shit, fooling around, dying constantly, mouth breathing on purpose, etc Theres a reason folks hate on squeakers and its because they have earned that reputation. Most of yall are nasty annoying little trolls, and thats all there is to it.
-
Lol, u are pulling those statistics out of ur house, but kids r fine sometimes
-
What's sad about this post is that a 13 year old can be more mature than half the adults here.
-
Hey I'm 15 and I still have a squeak it's ok yours and my day will come sometime i know how it feels and some people don't even think I'm 15 or call me a girl but I learn just to ignore them k
-
I'm sorry but I'm on the fence with this yes you have a point society is full of stereotypes but you must see that everyone has gone through them and still go through them that is part are becoming mature you have to be able to see when it is sarcasm that is inappropriate or if someone is just trying to honestly joke. I have no issues with people based on how they sound I choose who I run with based on the way the speak to eachother . If I don't like it I leave
-
The younger ones like 6-9 are all right but the 12 year olds are so annoying cuz they act like they the best around
-
i admire you. im 11 and i feel ya. i listen but i dont talk because of it. and when i have they ask how old i am and they beilive im 23.
-
13 is the lowest age for this game dating anyways. It's rated T. But most little kids seem to be unmature, unlike you. Sorry but that's just how it works.

Edited by ALPHA_VV0LF_: 5/8/2015 12:09:26 AMSee this is what schools these days do to people God quit whining about "bullying" btw I don't talk to people in game so don't be yelling I'm the one who does it
-
There's a solution for such problems. Clans, especially as a kid being in a clan would solve most of the problem for you. Most others your age will be getting on and off around the same time, and I doubt they're going to mock you for being the same age as them. My other advice is to grow some thicker skin. No matter who you are or what you do someone somewhere will have a problem with it. I once got kicked for having a southern accent, people are stupid af. So find some online friends.
-
14 is my lowest acceptable range. You start risking that serious child mentality at 14.
-
I don't have an issue with squeakers. I play with one guy who had a high pitch voice he's a cool fun kid. I joked around sometimes about his voice but nothing bad.
-
Edited by I am Skullshot: 5/7/2015 11:59:40 PMDon't really have an issue with "squeakers" so long as they aren't talking constantly, (and from my experience they usually don't stop talking which is likely why they get hated on) but that goes with any age group. Know when to speak and when to shut up and age isn't really important. I'm 19 btw
-
I don't care about age, but why do they feel the need to go on and on and on and on and on about nothing? Kind of like your post. (Sorry, couldn't resist throwing a jab at you with that last statement!) But most squeakers just wont stop talking!
-
I have a weird accent... It sounds foreign. But I'm from Pennsylvania. An I live in Miami. Whitest kid in school.

Edited by A Fallen Splicer: 5/7/2015 11:54:05 PMI'm 13 and a lot of people I played with thinks I'm 15 - 17
-
I'm 14 and I've never been called a squeaker even though I have a higher pitched voice. In fact, many people have called me mature for my age and mistook me to be 16+
-
First of older people get very annoyed by high pitched voices and 95% of squeakers are are immature. And some advice, try finding people that have the same problem you have, as in kids your age
-
Here's a tip: tell your team you will be listening to them and mute yourself. Don't say anything that sounds like boasting or giving others orders. Best to stay muted and shut up.
