I started using the internet regularly when I first went into middle school. We had had a computer for a few years before that that I used but hadn't gone on it as frequently as I did when I first got into social networking, blogging, and fandom communities when I was around 12. There's tons of things that I got into way too young (Myspace being at the top of that list) that eventually hurt me and made me the socially, both on the web and in real life, withdrawn and cynical person I am today.
