> I try to avoid "I" to start a sentence; but that's because I was taught it was bad grammar. Huh?

  It's certainly not bad grammar, but starting a lot of sentences with the word I is often considered bad style (both for the repetition and for the emphasis it places on yourself), and it's something a lot of kids do naturally; I assume that's what they meant to say.

      I'm afraid someone taught you fictitious grammar rules. :(
