Hmmmmm, I have seen lot's of teens in the teen chat since I have been here. For instance maybe start it out like we did the Mens and Womens. IMHO~I think it is a good idea. Yes they are are very mature and do seek out our advice which I am sure that will continue, but this gives them the Opportunity as we have as Men and Women to seek help from there peers. Regarding maybe the same issues. We can make it a smaller forum, but with some of the same threads. Having them see what it's like for others there age. You never know some teens may not feel comfortable posting in the forums when there are mainly adults in it. Having peers to communicate with and not adults sometimes is easier for them to do. BTW~Alot of this is feedback I asked for from my daughter and my 17 yr old neice.
I hope this makes sense? This is only my opinion ok.
