<font color="blue"> [b]DocJohn, I see you have added a TEEN CHATROOM. I can't find any guidelines to go with it. I need some.

Does this mean no adults? (I doubt it.) But if adults do go in there, are we supposed to allow a chat to travel any pathway the teens want it to? I'm thinking of recent chats here... where talk of waiting for illegal drugs to be delivered, and illicit sexual conduct was the main conversation of the young ppl. (Young ppl as under 16!)

While I wouldn't force my morals onto anyone, how can we set an example for the young ppl to follow if we aren't there? And how can we be in chat and not express our views? (Don't those above topics fall into the not allowed guidelines here, so we are obliged to nudge them off the topics?) By expressing our adult views in a teen chat, aren't we by it's very nature putting ourselves "above" them? (Something that is negative, imo. But teens aren't equal to adults in many areas, yet are humans just like everyone else.)

I think a list of "How Tos" would be really nice to have, so that all of us...young ppl included... stand on the same foundation.

I want to support this effort. I want to do my best in this. I am personally cautious of drawing back a nub for trying though. I mean, I can make up my own list because I can...but it might be a bit different than yours.

Please guide us in how you wish us to continue the change.
