I suggest adding a sticky to the sexual addictions forum for teenage boys who self-diagnose themselves with sexual addiction. Something reassuring for them would be nice to have. It would also help cut down on the number of posts in which individual PC users try to persuade the teenagers that there is nothing wrong with their masturbation and prod them towards getting more involved in social activities, being outdoors, physical movement, volunteering, music and arts, and in generally diversifying their interests, contacts, and involvements.

Note that the site already tries to avoid having members diagnose each other's problems over the Internet. I think the message behind this is that diagnosis should be made by professionals and in person. In line with this general attitude, the site can discourage members from self-diagnosing, especially teenage members.
