I, like Becca, am 15. Fortunately her letter isn't as stupid as many of the others, but still. Surely she can figure out that it's not a real email address? And see through the transparent acting of That's So Raven? It's an embarrassment to 15 year olds. At least she doesn't seem as desperate as the younger ones.

They're funny. But whose the guy who called the 10 year old a retard in the first post. Dude they're 10? I don’t mind you posting these letters. They’re funny.

But please keep posting any respones from that 40-year-old Amanda-Bynes-loving guy. I tend to agree with critic….. if I never see another 10-year-old’s email to Raven it’ll be too soon.

It was moderately amusing the first time, in a sort of disturbing way. I mean, hey, what could possibly be funnier than a professional writer pulling the wool over the eyes of a bunch of earnest but gullible preteens? "Grown man deceives fifth graders -- story at ten." Any humor from the concept has long since left the building, while the disturbing aspects build with each new installment. Please, please, put the series to rest.

I know that I didn't have a problem with any of them. It took a little bit of getting used to originally but after a while on MSN Messenger and text messaging it has become easier.

I understand that it all comes from abbreviating, to make typing and texting faster, but can another kid read it without having to sound out every symbol? Those messages take me forever to wade through. I'm really not picking on them right now, just truly curious. I am curious about the way the kids write.

Fifteen! I was a loser when I was that age, sure, but I still had stuff to do. These kids need some constructive activities to do. Like keyboarding class or spelling camp.
