One time while I was using ym, someone suddenly im(ed) me. First she asked for my A/S/L or Age Sex and Location. Before answering the question I asked her if she really knew me but she said that she didn’t. I asked her where she got my email and she said from her friend, so I asked her “what is the name of your friend?”. She said that it was a secret. She asked me if I was willing to be her friend but I did not want. Then she told me that I was a bad boy and that my parents were not able me to teach good manners. She cursed me because I was ignoring her im. Because of that I sent her email add to the ignore list to prevent the further disturbance.
