I'm sorry but more and more younger people are dealing with things that you could not imagine.

Exactly, Lexy. That's why they need a more structured atmosphere than we have here.

I'm beginning to notice that most of these very young teens don't post. The just use the chat rooms where none if very little support goes on. It's my opinion that all they are looking for is a place to act out. And I DO MEAN act out! Last night, two moderators had to be called into chat because of one young person that was totally rebellious and angry. At one point, he/she wanted me to stay while a Mod spoke to him but then it was dead silence. No cooperation of any sort. That young person has been on my mind all day. I don't know whether they wanted help from ME or what. It seemed this young person thought it was ME that had called in the moderators and I wasn't even there the first time. I feel sad, guilty and worried for this person. It has distracted me quite a bit today from my own thoughts and plans. Then helplessness sets in and *I* start my downward spiral of negative feelings. None of need that!

They need a place where they can find adult, experienced, willing help if they want it. They need healthy minded people that can deal with them to even so much as teach them good manners, not other mentally ill people that lose it with their acting out!

As I've said before and I'll say again and again... these kids need a different environment to go to. Not here! There's too much information here for them that could even cause them some serious damage, if they read it. Sex is a normal, human topic/action. It's the other things that worry me! There's NO WAY I would have let any of my kids read or participate in a place like this!
