Rejected from Postloop

Hello I recently joined Postloop and made 10 posts, however I was rejected this morning and given a rating of 1.3 for having a bad grammar. I won't lie I felt extremely offended and sad that I just wanted to smash my laptop and never both this website anymore.
I know my English isn't perfect but I can write properly, but they just decided to give me a lower score so my question is :
Does my English suck that bad ?
Have you had any experience with them before?

Any tips to give me please guys, I'm not a native English but I have lived in this country since I had 3 years old and I'm now 21 and I can really speak English. I even have a Norfolk accent !!!!!!:D

    punctuation, incorrect or missing words


    If you have lived in England for 18 years and attended school here, I am surprised you would have written "I had 3 years old".

    Highlighted poor grammar missed by the previous person highlighting. In all honesty, if this post is a representative example, then I am not surprised you were removed for bad grammar.

    However, I do not wish to be harsh. Why did you join the site? Just to earn a bit extra? If so, then there are other ways. However, if there is another reason and spelling and grammar is really important to you for whatever reason- I would consider going to night school to improve.
