Does anyone have an estimate of how many minors come on here, anyway? I don't know of many... since the forums aren't being over-run by immaturity I don't think there's much need to address this.

A teen forum would have it's pros and cons. While it would be a place to address teen's issues with their age and the circumstances entailed by that in mind, it is likely the growing process of a new forum would be too slow, and the teens would revert to other forums to get answers and support. I think it's also likely a teen's forum would foster higher levels of immaturity in that forum, and it would need a lot of moderation. Teens want to show more maturity around adults, but in their own forum that would decline - not entirely, and not necessarily from the teens currently here, but from the ones who would come when they see a forum specifically for them. And attracting teens who need help isn't a bad thing, but it would require a high level of commitment to this cause.

Maybe it wouldn't work the way I'm seeing it, but I'm basing this on experience working with groups of teens online and off, integrated with adults and not. The thing about having the forums the way they are now is that they pretty much only attract teens who want help and input from adults, a more mature group than forums made for teens.
