Thanks, I appreciate you making this myTake. It seems like a lot of younger users like myself take things way more seriously than some older users. It's understandable that some adults are more conservative at mind than others and don't think we should have input in sex, but it's all around us so why stop it on this site?
I agree. You made some great points. I've been told many time that I'm an old soul and that I'm wise beyond my years, even by people on G@G. Yet, I still get attacked for stereotypes that I have nothing to do with just because of my age. I'm glad you wrote about this.
I've seen stuff you wrote you seem like an intelligent exception to me
Thanks, @hypno-trip
I take their opinions with a grain of salt (and they display the highest level of religious fanatism along with the 30-45 group), but if their question is a valid question, I answer it as such. I see no point in being derogatory just based on age... Although I try not to be antagonistic in general.
There is nothing wrong with us younger people, And i can't say much because im only 16,
But, It does annoy me when you see like the 13 year old's talking about relationship struggles and shit and how they are having problems being intimate and abuse from partners and that.
Theyre too young for all that crap xD.
I totally understand where you're coming from, but they don't see beyond that relationship because that's all they know and it's up to us to try and show that to them, that that relationship isn't the necessarily one they're going to be in forever. The struggle, no matter how menial to us, is real for them so it's only decent that we try to help.
Technically I believe that at any age you could be wise and stupid - I remember I commented on purpose that your young - it was a topic about weight but I love testing the limits of the human mind so that one was fun,
I had people argue with me anyway, I think anyone should be allowed on this site as long as they are smart and have an open mind - however that is not always the case
I noticed that younger users usually don't get serious answers, even when their question is serious and they're really seeking for help. I feel sorry for them.
Sometimes age is just a number. I know someone who's 38 and she thinks and behaves like she is 5. She thinks she's superior and that she knows everything about life, just because she's 38. It's ridiculous and sad.
And I know people with my age who are way more experienced and wiser than her.
I think that there is a certain age for everything. But when it comes to life experience, I believe that there's no age.
So, I think that they shouldn't be discriminated. Just because they're young, it doesn't mean that they're inexperienced , immature or dumb.
I completely agree! I'm going to be a High School teacher soon and I've already worked with adolescents and I enjoy it.
Interestingly enough, I've seen some of the most mature and logical responses on this website from teenagers. Many adolescent females have an adult mindset and are mature about issues (because they mature quicker.) I like how this site varies in age.
They mature physically quicker not mentally. That is a misunderstanding of biology.
My opinion on it is that kids that are on here should have access to advice and information. Because people of all ages need advice and help and sometimes they don't always want to speak to their patents or can't. And there are adults on here that are pretty and can give a lot of help to them.
And they should be given advice and help if they require it
But at the same time rules and regulations need to be put into place because there is a lot of crap on here that kids do not need to be seeing or commenting on, i dont care how mature they think they are.
Now I have two little sisters and when I see some kid on here 13, 14 even 16 years old talking about sex or doing it or anything like that, they pop into my head and it makes me cringe it is disgusting and sick. And honestly they should not be allowed to see some of the sensitive and innapropite material on here I mean there is some pretty sick stuff on here.
Young people have the right to be here and comment as they like.
But when I see minors as young as 15 asking questions about how to have sex I just shake my head because they are the exact same kids who ask questions about whether they can get pregnant by having unprotected sex for days or not. It's like their parents live in a different household than they are and ignoring what their kids are doing in front of a computer.
I agree with you they need to be taught by theryer parents! I think a lot of parents don't take the time in explaining things to their kids. My mother and I discuss a lot of that stuff such as birth control, condoms, contraceptives, etc. That way if I need her help I wouldn't hesitate to talk to her. Kids need to be taught be their parents so they don't end up as stupid as the examples above. Unfortunately many of the kids at my school are like the examples above =(
My age is really 16. I put it there not only to challenge myself to talk on an equal footing with adults, but also to be honest about the scope of my life experience. I know I don't understand some stuff yet. I also know that on some issues, I provide better analysis than some adults. It's a tradeoff, yes, but at least I'm being honest. I don't really get that offended when people "just a kid" me, because I recognize that they could actually be right. That said, some people overuse it.
I don't know why older people would be against younger people to be on here granted should be 18 and older. I say that, but there are 13 year old mother's, but if they where introduced to sex and stuff that comes with it earlier in life then I bet you they wouldn't be mothers or father. I personally would rather know my kids are having safe sex then not know at all and if they are 13 and want to know well by G I am going to feel them in and not lie about a thing about it. Kill the joy of sneaking around and you won't have many problems. I was raised with very none harsh parents and with out the sneaking around I honestly had no urge to even do it nor my 4 siblings.
Agreed.. nice take and I've said the same thing LOL www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1387543-why-do-you-hate-on-the-under-18-gagers-so-much

Younger users need our guidance. It's not practically sensible that we shouldn't allow underage users because of explicit content as A LOT of people become sexually active at that age. Plus, there are good posting guidelines and a user can always lie their age to make it to the site so it'd be better to allow them here so that at least they will be honest about their age and we'd understand/help them better.
Agreed
I support your point in favor of young users.
In my questions, i always read all opinions and at least thank all of them, even if they are from very young users and are not very satisfactory.
Young users should visit GAG more often, ask more questions and be ready to listen and learn from seniors. Some young users act like 'know it all' and only that i dont like.
I don't feel comfortable talking to a kid about certain things or knowing they'll be reading what adults write. They should be limited on what they can see. You can't tell a kid not to do things. They'll do them anyway. They want to experience stuff. It's better not to expose them to it at all.
It's perfectly fine for you to dislike younger users here, as long as you don't make them feel like an outcast or show your dislike.
I never said I didn't like them. I'm fine with them asking me about dating and stuff but when it comes to sexual stuff it's uncomfortable. It doesn't matter how much you try and make something look bad and encourage them to avoid it they'll do the opposite. That's why it's better not bringing them into that kind of conversation in the first place. Hell I see all kids as my kids. If I can help them I will
I agree with @Ped1981. I have no problem with them being here. I'm fine with conversing and helping them. I don't think that they should be included in stuff like "how to give blowjobs". Things are the way they are today because kids are subjected to way more than they should be. That happens through television, music, internet, etc. What's so wrong with allowing kids to just be kids instead of helping them grow up way too soon?
My daughters 9 going on 29 with all the crap she sees on TV and everyday life. I'm far from being a prude but when you're kid starts dancing sexy in front of the tv to a song. I hit the bloody roof and threatened all sorts of disasters if I seen that again. We didn't even think about those things until we were well into high school. If we were watching something on TV as kids and even the corner of a bed appeared on screen then the channel was changed pronto by my mum or dad.
I have personally never told a person younger than me that they are not supposed to be here, but I do feel that they shouldn't be... most of the content IS explicit
unless GAG is planning on sensoring content for those below 16, my opinions will not change
Meh I don't think it's about age discrimination but more about the fact that realistically, someone over the age of 18, someone who may be 21 or even 25 would NEVER seek a 16 or 13 year old for serious advice or insight on a very adult issue due to the honest fact that they are ADOLESCENTS according to law and psychology.
Not only that but a lot of these yougyins come here with bratty attitudes. I'm no one's babysitter or mother: I shouldn't have to put up with that. I choose to have limited interaction with adolescents in my real life for a reason.
Actually, some of the BEST advice I've received on here are from teenagers. You don't need to be an adult to understand adult issues. I would rather take advice on struggling in poverty from a teenager living in poverty than an adult who was fed a silver spoon in their mouth their entire life. Personal experience is a huge indicator whether I will take someone's advice or not.
And most women in our age group (similar to you) act stuck and a catty about everything.
@CincinnatiRedsfan Maybe that's your experience but it certainly hasn't been mine. It all depends on various factors.
I don't act stuck up and catty about everything. Don't come to my post making passive aggressive, snide, catty, very teenage-immature like side comments about me.
@CincinnatiRedsfan
By the way, you're a huge hypocrite because you literately just contradicted yourself with an age bias towards females in their 20's.
Wow, for a post putting down bratty attitudes, it seems like you are the one with a bratty attitude. Your the hypocite it seems.
@FunnyGirl24 Not necessarily. Just being honest. Most adolescents are bratty and premature because THEIR BRAINS HAVE NOT FINISHED DEVELOPING, because they are going through puberty and an outrageous amount of hormones are racing through their bodies. It's my right and my choice if I do not feel like putting up with certain attitudes and behavioral traits that I'm not obligated to deal with as a non-parent and a non-babysitter.
Just because you and some others may disagree doesn't mean you need to drop by on my post just to deliver some passive aggressive, bitchy comment as if that's going to change my mind.
We simply don't agree: Get over it.
You can have that opinion, as long as you don't show it towards other users. A lot of young users can give great advice and be really lovely members of the community. :)
@cincinnatiredsfan "I would rather take advice on struggling in poverty from a teenager living in poverty than an adult who was fed a silver spoon in their mouth their entire life." Great point and I agree!
@Take Owner Agreed. I don't go around expressing these thoughts unless a situation arises where voicing them is necessary.
@CincinnatiRedsfan's comment that you agree with: it all depends. Chances are a teenager in poverty isn't going to be sitting on a computer with a GAG account to begin with.
Its a wise decision for the younger ones to get HELPFUL advice from the older ones before they experience what we the older ones have. I help as much as I can in my daily life if ANYONE asks me a question I will spend the time to share my point of view. Plus in this day and age the younger ones are experiencing stuff we did at an older age much sooner than they should so of course I'm gonna give them advice.
I like this post! Hopefully this gets promoted because it is so true and I would know because I was 15 a couple days ago and now I'm 16. I really want to ask "How you like me now?"
Still immature as heck.
For a "gentlemen" you do not take jokes very well. Have you ever Considered working on that @OrdinaryGentlemen
Questions from younger users are my favorite. They allow me to remember my high school experience and how much I wish I had someone to help me sort things out. And at the same time age doesn't always dictate maturity and experience.
