Being a teenager should be some of the best years of your life,if people are hacking on you ,maybe time for some boxing lessons .

listen to what these guys are saying and remember a couple things. Youre 15 and that is a tough age. You will most likely not see more than one or two of the kids you are going to school with after high school. And you have a lot of time ahead of you to figure it all out. Just have fun, follow your passion for boats and dont sweat it now. I didn't even go to college until I was 21

Sam, while aspbergers syndrome does explain some of your behaviour, it doesn't excuse some of it. It would appear that atleast, you are admitting you have some issues and maybe, just maybe you are willing to work hard to get through some of them BEFORE you are disallowed on every boating forum. Thats good.
I have watched my nephew overcome aspbergers to become a straight A high school student with a bright future in robotics ahead of him. He has had it tough to but he listened to his dad and his uncle and focused his abundant energy on what he found he loved doing. In his case, building competition robots. He also learned that social graces are a very big part of growing up. No one likes daling with a smart mouth "kid".
I know in your PM to me that you stated that you"are not a kid" but I got news for ya, at 15, you most definately are a kid.
I am 3 times your age Sam, not 3 yrs older than you. Thats about the average age of the guys on these sites. We do not pursue relationships with teenagers. Lots of us struggle with relationships with our own kids your age, we cerainly don't need to feel like that when we're online boating. You stated that no one talks to you the way I did and no one tells you what to do. Well, thats part of your problem. You, being an adopted hild of, and I'm guessing here, a successful older professional couple, have most likely been handled with kid gloves instead of boxing gloves. You still believe and act like you should be handed eerything you ask for and when chastised for being an insulant, imature and rude teenager, lash out in anger and disrespect.
You stated above that you want US to respect and HELP you.

STEP ONE: RESPECT IS EARNED, NOT GIVEN TO ANYONE WHO ASKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop acting like a kid if you want to EARN the RESPECT of your elders.

STEP TWO: when someone informs you of your mistakes and tells you ow to act properly, don't fire back like you're some kind of tough guy. SHUT THE HLL UP and learn

That was hilarious. Hang in there kid. Stay in school , get a college education and be the first kid in your class to get a new Cigarette. You'll have a story for life!

You just need to lay REALLY low for awhile. You've pulled the classic Internet stunts by outright lying to everyone on like 5 forums. I'm not trying to be harsh, but you've given zero reason for anyone to believe anything you've said, including this sympathy party you're throwing here. Act your age, be proud of who you are and what you have, and STOP lying and impersonating people you idolize. Having Skip's muscle have to notify you of how far past funny you've taken things should be more than enough reason to shape up than anything.
