Meh. I thought I heard contempt in your tone. Is this ANOTHER one of those communities that shun people who are older? It seems Ive ran into quite a few of those lately...

No its not. Infact even grown ups use scratch for fun!

Hey, if you're having fun with it and learning stuff, just enjoy it.  There are many  Scratchers in High School and College and beyond.  I myself am 50 and still enjoy clicking those Scratch blocks together!

That's not to say you shouldn't also try your hand with other languages like Python or Ruby or Javascript.  The more you know, the more you can do!

I am 17 (18 on march 5) and I still like doing scratch. I just like the scratch community and everyone like my stuff here 

I also do several other languages.

I'm also 13. Scratch was made for all ages.

I'm 43 learning it so I can teach my son when he is old enough - I do IT for a living and code for a hobby.

I enjoy scratch and the fact that it runs in a web site I see as a plus and I may build myself a little online arcade at the rate I am going.

Is 13 too old for Scratch? I don't want to seem like a dork or something like that...

Hmmmmmm I'm 27 and I love playing the scratch games that the people here are kind enough to create. I didn't know there was an age group for playing scratch games LOL.

Also, I don't think there is many people 13 and younger that are going to be designing scratch games    (not that I am a master at making scratch games by any means - I just like to PLAY the games that people here make, since they are way better than any of the games that I could ever make!)

ur never 2 old for scratch

I'm 73, I had my first PC before they invented boxes to put them in and I built my first printer starting with a stepper motor. Scratch can  do 2 D animations more readily than any other free software available, learning curves must not be too steep when you are 73. Its the most fun to program since all that early BASIC I enjoyed  which if I remember was contained along with everything else on a 16kbyte ROM.

Anyone can use Scratch, whatever their age!!!!!!!! That's the point!!!!!!!!! 
(BTW I'm nearly 13. I'm never going to stop doing Scratch EVER!!!!!!! I love the friendly Scratch community and sharing my projects. Making games and animations with Scratch is my kind of fun.)
