There has been a mention and a small discussion ( in the depression forum under a suicidal posts thread!!!) about a need for a teen issues forum.

I have mixed emotions about this, but brought it here since I think others have good comments to make also.

While many of the issues a teen will deal with can be entered in one of the existing forums such as Relationships, Depression or one of the Disorder forums... if topics like riding a bus to school, getting a driver's license , handling bullies... well then maybe... OR if all a teen wants is another teen's thoughts... and will reject adult rational responses anyway... maybe it would be nice.

But if it will only serve to isolate teens from posting in the regular forums (such as mentioned above) or provide ONLY other teen's responses, which won't carry experience and wisdom very far.. then I think I am against the idea.
