I feel like I've responded to this before.

1. I recently changed my username and do not have a Youtube channel. That person doesn't even have the same name as me.

2. I was 12 then, and if you can't tell, I was pretty dumb at the time, and was pretty much looking for attention. Legally you weren't allowed to be signed up for Reddit, which is why I said I was 13 (which I am now).

3. I have worked on all of those npm modules, but most of them are forked improvements of existing modules (such as Jade).

If you read my comment above, you'll notice I don't like talking about my age (this is one of the few exceptions). In fact, I am even not the OP of this post.

> In fact, I am even not the OP of this post.

It's interesting that the person who submitted this to HN has already submitted the same link exactly a year ago. In fact 3/5 his submission are about your site...

Edit: actually all of the OP submissions are about you.

Interesting. The thing is, I don't have control over what the OP can post. It's crazy how you guys are assuming that I don't know my own age after judging based on:

1. A search of my username (there are tons of people with a three letter username like my HN username)

2. An old post of mine on Reddit.

3. My NPM profile (which includes lots of forks)

4. The quality of my username.

5. The layout of my comments on Hacker News.

6. The posts of some stranger that has attempted to submit my website multiple times.

> The thing is, I don't have control over what the OP can post.

You see here is the part I don't believe. If you look at the submissions [1] that the OP has, all 5 of his submissions lead to either your github projects or your 13 y/o twitter page/website. I doubt that a person you don't know is so obsessed about only posting stuff about you, not commenting or anything, just submitting your projects and links. That account has no comments nor favorites.

Based on that - my assumption is you have multiple accounts here and now are lying about not having control of what the OP has, if you lie on that part - it makes your whole 13 y/o thing less beleivable to me.

TL;DR "No, trust me."

Prepared to take the hate too. Answers seem fake under the question about relation with parents, and your voice does not strike me as a 13 year old, in particular seeming too controlling of situation. I don't buy it. I apologize in advance if I'm somehow proven wrong in some verifiable way.
