Do you think there should be a separate is it normal site for younger people?

But who will answer my "favorite digimon" polls?

But who would answer their questions? More clueless 14 year olds? I think it's a bad idea, and pretty pointless.

No. My lame mentality would get me deported to the kiddie site n I don't wanna. But then my naughtyness would get me arrested n I don't wanna neever.

I don't generally mind the younger users. Some are rather insightful. Physical age doesn't mean maturity. There are plenty of users who are plenty old enough to be here but lack the maturity of the average teenager. They annoy me more. How would one accommodate that?

I love what most teens post... Do you think he likes me? IIN that he doesn't reply to every text? Please give em their own site.
*craps**

Not a good idea.

The solution to the 'underage' problem is to remove the age restriction so there is no underage (it's not like the age restriction works anyway). Have a 'warning: mature content which may not be suitable for children' notification instead. There's already a safe mode in place for those more sensitive individuals.

I'm not sure. Maybe. The only way I could see it is if it had professionals monitoring it. Or would it be lets see college freshman who are mentally sound and well meaning, how do you process that?

WHO would process that?

Could be an opportunity for new jobs.

Thanks for making this post.

There is, it's called Yahoo Answers...

I wonder what kind of world it will be, when role models are replaced with computer models. Where sacred sites are replaced with websites. Where a person comes into adulthood through an online forum.

This is precisely why we need to change our mind-sets, from one based on attaining a particular age to receive rights to do something, to one where rights are earned through responsible behaviour, in an integrated educational program.

For the time being, I have no problem with young people being on this, or other so-called age restricted websites. But, the young people should recognize that this website is an adult forum, and their behaviour should be at least equivalent to that of an average eighteen year old.
In other words, act responsibly, not immaturely.

In the future then, according to plan, young people would need to earn the rights to do a particular activity, through a comprehensive testing procedure, whereby they will need to prove a maturity level in order to gain access to something.
This will, in turn, help to guide them in areas where they might be deficient.
A foolproof system will need to be developed on the Internet, in order to achieve this. This could be part of the test.
A learning process.

my problem isnt the ae of the users. its the maturity, or lack there of, of them. age only has loose relavence on the precieved maturity of the users.

side note, can we fucking stop with the fucking BS naruto/DBZ/etc polls and post, for fuck sake, this isnt the site and it isnt 2004. no one gives a flying fuck. it tards like that, that give everyone who enjoy anime or animation in genreal a bad rap. i wish you people just got outside and go larping or something, but that be an insult to larpers

I think there should be a limit to what underage users can read (Not post, though) and a simple marker to identify who is underage.
I don't know know about you, but I feel real creepy when I figure out I just gave advice to a 16 year old about anal sex, for example.

I assume everyone online is 13 anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

I feel like it's good for them when they have serious questions because they have a whole community of older more experienced people to help them out. Sure sometimes they can be annoying but if only other 14 year olds were answering their questions they wouldn't really be getting many helpful answers.

No, I don't believe there should be a website created for the sole purpose of teenagers to congregrate, it would be a paedo's heaven. If people can't handle the content of the internet or a particular web page they shouldn't be on the fucking thing.

Yeah, like they would stay off IIN in favor of a site full of stupid ass teenagers. Hell, no guarantee that they would stay off, period. I know I sound like an asshole but think about it, most of them would probably stay here regardless.

I'd rather they stay here where they can possibly get good adult answers from experienced adults.

It won't work. Believe me, IIN did try a similar experiment but it didn't work.

The best thing we can do is to just utilise the tools we have on hand ie. the thumbs up/down system and also the approval story button in the unmoderated section. Posting stories like this will entice trolls to post such material you wish to stop. You're giving them a reaction with this post and that the very thing that trolls thrive on.

I think a seperate site for assholes is more needed.

That would make it easier to find sex partners since the young are generally more open to passion. Great idea!

No, I'm teenager myself but I wouldn't want only people my age to answer my questions. This way we can see more opinions.

I absolutely, positively think it's an excellent idea! My younger sister wants to use isitnormal.com.

I voted other because it doesn't really matter, teens will come on here anyway. But you know what? I change my mind. It would be a bad idea to make a separate site from teens only because teens can be more judgemental, and teenagers who will become adults sometimes need that adult advice and guidance they cannot always get at home. I was 17 when I joined and even though that's not much younger, here I could ask an adult audience about things concerning sex and get good answers from people more experienced than teenagers. Imagine being a 17, almost 18 year-old girl, asking something serious about sex and getting a bunch of 13 year-old boys replying. Yeah, real helpful.

i was only 15 when i first looked at this site so i think ita great idea i learnd so much off of here that i was afraid to ask my parents

all that takes money to do. and i don't think it would be so great to do so for there safety.

This is a great idea but it will not work for the following reasons.

*teenagers can not solve their own issues since they are too young and only have parents or other idiot teens to listen to. Most teens are unbelievably stupid and adults will often push their own ideals without explaining things the child MUST KNOW.

*The reason we have IIN an only 18 year old site is the child policy protection law. So they would need parents to sign off if we made a child site. Which I doubt parents are going to approve of such things.

*We would most likely still get kids coming since they do not want to admit this personal stuff to parents. Which the parents will want to know.

*We would also need people scouting to find the minors running around this website. To get them kicked off the website.

Granted this is a really great idea. However I am not sure how it would really work. I do agree with it though.

No, seeing how most of the funny comments are probably made by some 13 year old.

Although it would be better if everyone could use this sit instead because the answers would be more helpful to everyone and more insightful and more likely less missinformed

There should be one right now I don't understand why not in teenage years you have most of your uncomfortable questions that don't get answered for years because of fear of ridicule and a site like this would help younger people with there thought questions mainly puberty

No. I don't think it's a good idea. Just because I'm not 25 doesn't mean I should get kicked off this site to be answered by other teenagers! I'm pretty sure there are insightful people on here waiting to spread their inside thoughts to the world. Let the everyone speak their minds on here! ! !:)
