My Poor Four-Year-Old Self

When I was four I played Animal Jam so much, and I traded and traded to get better. Well, after much trading I finally got a rare green short, and I was extremely happy. This person was advertising that they wanted to gift someone a black long if they traded something good. So, I went there, convinced that they weren't lying. I mean, Animal Jam was "so nice," I was thinking at the time. Okay, so I went there, they showed everyone proof of the black long on their trade list. Then, they deleted the black long and put cherry trees instead. Excited, and shaking at the same time, I traded my first best item... yes. My short, my hard-earned short. They accepted. But I wasn't expecting to be scammed at the time, and I didn't even know what scamming ''was. ''Then they went offline. Just like that. Gone, along with my short.

From then on I always despised Cherry Trees and every one I obtained I sold.

No, this story isn't fake--it's real. And four-year-old me cried all night. What a great day ;-;

Don't scam. You can ruin a child's day, just like this jammer ruined mine. Would you do that to your own little sibling, your classmate, or any child you felt a relationship to if they played Animal Jam? No, you probably wouldn't. Just because you don't know this person doesn't mean you get to scam them. And I still remember it--I was ''four. ''Do you remember being scammed when you were little, at all?

I don't play Animal Jam anymore, and this is one of the reasons why.
