Just a reminder too that if there is an unruly member taking away from an adult-type conversation, the ignore feature is a big help. If all those who want an adult conversation agree to use the ignore feature, the unruly behavior won't be seen, and will no longer be fun. I remember my mom telling me as a child to ignore kids being being mean or teasing me, and they won't have fun anymore if they didn't get a reaction from me.
I'm posting this as a reminder to myself as well...I let things get to me so bad yesterday that I had an anxiety attack, and all I needed to use was the ignore feature.....
Using self-care is a quick fix and I know I need to remember to use it myself.
To the teens....I am so sorry that you are feeling left out. It saddens me that several of you who have good conversations with adults are feeling left out of conversation. I don't see anything wrong with popping in to the 21+ room and asking your friends to move to a different room. I moved yesterday with a member who couldn't stay and it worked out fine.
I hope after a good period of adjustment, things will be ok.
