Give her a break. I've had friends that haven't had ID's for whatever reason.
Especially when they've been from out of town and don't have the correct documents needed. I used to have a boyfriend (20 years ago) who lost his license, moved to Galveston (not in that order), and then was too damn lazy to get his birth certificate from his parents to get a new ID.
He didn't drive. Gosh. Thinking back, he was just worthless in so many ways.
Eck. That sounded bad. Anyway ... it happens.
Showing proof of age is something new. I'm a moderator on here and although I can feel your pain, this is a policy that should have been implemented on Eccie years ago but now, it's being done.
If you're a certain age, and younger, you need to show proof of age.
Do I need to do it? Well, no. Not because I'm the ripe old age of 50+ but because I've been around awhile and most just KNOW that I'm an older lady. I'm certainly over 30.
Anyone could come and join Eccie and say that they're any age. Especially if you're not a known lady, with reviews and such.
I just don't see the powers that be skirting around the new rules about age verification with ladies under 25. Not much else to say. Sorry that it's not working out for you to get verified.
My cheap late night advice: During the next few months, focus on trying to get a social security card, or your birth certificate, and/or start doing what you need to do to get your personal business sorted out so that you CAN get a valid ID.
It happens to the best of us ... not having one (although I'll admit, I've never NOT had an ID in my life). But get one. You'll need to do it eventually if you hope to get grounded in society.
Good luck,
Elisabeth
