IMO it doesn't matter what a person's physical age is, but their mental age. Some "adults" act/react quite childish while other young ppl act quite mature.

The site is for those who are suffering mental unwellness.. and as the tone or... feel... of the forums change, so must the members.

A teen forum has been requested and chatted about quite extensively and positions on all sides are well-supported! This is why DocJohn "gets the big bucks" because he gets to make the decisions.

Personally, I agree that immature young ppl do create a tone -or issues- and concerns to other members. But to restrict them from the site, or block them from certain forums, I don't see how that helps them.

I read recently that the average teenager only has 3 adults in their life to which they can turn to for real assistance. Having this site, and the wealth of knowledge and wisdom of it's members is really a plus.

There needs to be some... changes? ... but as to what they could be I haven't a clue.
