Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!!
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!!
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!! LOL! My name is not really Makenzie S., it is Sydney Michelle S. I am not in 6th grade, I do play the flute and guitar, but I am only in 5th grade band. Although my teacher currently calls me her best flutist, and I am on a 6th grade level! I am a straight A student, in a 5th grade classroom and have a normalish amount of friends. My best friend is Choco here on CB. I love the color purple and I love to go on CB. That is why I want to tell everyone the truth! I am soooo sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!! If yo guys are so mad for me lying I understand! If I was on the othet end of this I would be soo mad!
I don't really have a broken elbow, but I did break my leg twice, and currently have a pink cast! I am not really going to Hong Kong to adopt Gregory and the only reason I made that up is because I had a dream about that! My "sister" Molly S. isn't real either! I am sooo sorry that I lied to everybuggy, but will you please forgive me!
P.S. Choco sorry, but I really wanted to tell! Forgive me!
P.S.S. Everybuggy I will now be known as S.M.S. on CB!

Mad? No. The fake name I couldn't care less about, truth be told. I can even understand making up a fantasy life for yourself on here, but I do wish you had told us before now. Posting as two people, both Makenzie and Molly, is annoying to me, but again, it wouldn't be if you had told us before now. The real thing that bothers me, though, is your treating things like going to Hong Kong as real. It was deliberate deception, and that's not right. I do forgive you, but by just about any standard you care to use, it was wrong. Not making up a fake person, but not intending to tell people, and your post makes pretty clear that you didn't. I've got to say I'm disappointed, and I would guess that most of the other CBers will be, too. I will do my best just to let it go, but please understand, Sydney, that lying to people affects your relationships with them negatively, and you can't change that with an apology. If you don't deal with it now, it will hurt you and the people you care about all your life. Even this, over the internet via the CB, isn't just a big joke - you've admitted that if you were on the other end, you would be furious. I think we will all have to adjust our concepts of you, and my estimation at least has moved signifcantly down. I trusted you to some degree, and you've betrayed that trust. Whether it's face-to-face or in a more distant friendship, lost trust is always a hard thing to regain.

Hem. I just realized that I totally didn't get across my point in this. What I'm concerned about is not that you lied to me or to us. I'm hard to really offend over the internet, and I really don't care what you tell me as it relates to me. What bothers me is that it bodes ill for your personal life in the future, your "real" life. Am I making my point at all? *wanders away, depressed by inability to say what she means*

Thanks for telling us. But just wondering...why did you lie in the first place?
(November 3, 2009 - 8:37 am)
Don't worry about it. :D

Oh. Yes, I'm wondering too and I agree with Emily. (I understood whatcha meant, E.H.) Trust is really hard to gain back. I'm not here to lecture you or anything, I think you feel bad enough, I just would like it if you would think about this and everyone you lied to, Band Freaks, GloWorm's readers, everybody, and give us the truth. We're not here to ridicule or mock you if you don't have a super-cool life! We all, for the most part, have normal lives! Moms, dads, pets, siblings, school. We're all normal (well, actually, that's up for debate) and we would have excepted you for who you were from the beginning. CB is somewhere you can just be you, you don't need to make things up just to be "cooler". I think we should all just try to start over.
Hi, S.M.S., welcome to the Chatter Box! I'm Emma. :)

Hmmm. Yes, thanks for telling us. But, I was very annoyed at "Molly." And I am glad she is not real!
I kinda feel like Emily H. Especially in the Hong Kong thing. You could have mentioned it once, but what's worse, you mentioned it a bunch of times in like 5 different threads!!! You clogged up Chatterbox with nonsense!
But I forgive you.
(November 4, 2009 - 2:35 pm)
Well, that is slightly weird... *is not quite sure what to say*
(November 4, 2009 - 3:27 pm)
That's totally okay! I've done that, too.....Would everyone be mad if I did that here, too?
(November 4, 2009 - 1:33 pm)
I am infuriated about this. My best and only friend made up things about her life to make it seem more interesting to me so that I would find her to be more interesting. I never told her that I didn't believe her, and our friendship is rather unstable. You should never have lied to us. I never would have dreamed of lying to you. I can garuntee that everything that I have said about myself here on the Chatterbox is 100% true.
(November 4, 2009 - 1:51 pm)
I wouldn't worry about it, as we all sin. I forgive you. :)
(November 4, 2009 - 2:11 pm)
hmmmm well, wow...I'm really sorry that you felt like you had to make up another person for Chatterbox. I'm no longer sure if i can trust you 100% but i will try... I agree with what Emily says, lost trust is hard to regain. I'm not trying to be mean, but i'm sorry, it hurt when i read your post that everything wasn't real. Especially about 'Gregory', i really believed that your family was going to adopt a boy. I guess that's the thing with the Internet, you don't really know who you are talking to.
Now on a lighter note, I'm really glad that you have told us. It shows that in the end you can right your wrong. I shall do my best to forgive you!
As Emma O. says, Welcome to Chatterbox S.M.S.! I hope you enjoy it here, we are all pretty nice people!
Oh, and also, don't worry about the name, plenty of people use fake names over the internet!! :)
(November 4, 2009 - 4:50 pm)
Why did you lie to us? I really, really wish you'd told the truth. I'm not mad at you or anything, but I'll now have a pretty hard time believing what you say...
But, welcome anyway!
(November 4, 2009 - 6:23 pm)
I didn't mean to press 'submit' just then. I have more to say.
Thank you very much for telling the truth eventually. That is, I hope it's the truth.
E.W., what have you lied about, and why?
(November 4, 2009 - 6:29 pm)
Well, I've done that on one website that I like to go to. I wanted to have an alter ego. It's kinda fun, you have to admit. Of course, I wouldn't actually make up such big fibs. *Looks pointedly at the past Makenzie*
(November 5, 2009 - 2:47 pm)
I forgive you. It's perfectly fine to use fake names.
