due to the amount of PMs that i get from teenagers here, i know that they are hurting. and i try my best to help and talk them through problems and just stay with them.

i offered once before and i'll offer one more time, i'll help with a teen forum. i won't do chat. but i'll help with a forum.

i've not had any problems with teens now. i'm talking about posting.not chat. we've had problems before, but if we've had any recently, i missed it. must have dozed off. we have some remarkably mature teen posters now.

i would have given my right arm had i had a forum like this to go to when i was a teen. and my daughters would have benefitted greatly from the "elders" here.

we can't prevent the pain, how can we turn our backs on them? they are dealing with problems that people my age never even thought of.

i think we need a space for teens. pat
