Not neccesarily. I too am in my teens and I quite enjoy writing stories. There are actually many teens on this wiki that are respectable writers.

What we're doing is offering helpful tips for you to improve your writing. If you're looking to publish something on this wiki, you're going to need to be able to meet the quality standards (compared to actual publishing companies, this wiki's standards are reasonable). This includes a consistent and cohesive story without major plot holes, minimal grammatical and structural errors, and a story that isn't riddled with cliches and weak writing. Not only are these tips helpful in writing for the wiki, but for writing stories in general. Proofreading is a valuable skill, and the patience to accept feedback and be willing to revise your story to improve it is valuable as well. This is so we don't have a wiki filled with flawed, and quite frankly, unreadable stories.

Just note that even accomplished writers get tremendous amount of feedback of what they can do to improve their first draft (first drafts are seldom any good). Additionally, even the best writers often find that it often is better to discard a story than to continue it.
