Knowing the minimum age on AB is 13, do you cringe at some of the questions that pop up?

Most certainly! Some questions I am embarrassed to even read! But I think that AB have tried to alter that so if you want to read questions on a certain topic you have to search it out (which is better). EDIT I am referring to the adult content here :)
-
Not really, because some of the worst ones are asked by those very same 13 year olds!
-
I think some of the others asking questions are alot younger than 13. I do cringe when these kids have to reach out to strangers on the Internet for advice on periods, pregnancies, sex and their relationships at school. Makes me sad to know, the parents are just not there for them.

I asked a similar question a few weeks back. If parents are not going to closely monitor what their children do on the computer. Shame on them. If children are sneaky and go against their parents wishes, shame on them. If parents don't have the time, energy or desire to talk with their kids or discuss important subjects, then kids will get feedback from an assortment of varied strangers. Simple as that.

Definately especially when we have a 12 year old SAGE The other day i found him giving very explicit and accurate sexual advice on something I had never heard of until the last couple of years . It was very surprising. Apparently he had answered the question before they had Adult AB , that was before i was on here but he could only just have been just 12. I think a lot of people forget that there are so many young people on here

Well, the ones that make me cringe are the questions here people actually admit that they are 12, and they do it numerous times! However, arguing for the terribly worded questions, I think that many teenagers think that they should talk in chat speak because that's what they do on MSN, etc. They can spell, they just choose not to. I am one that knows which grammar is appropriate where
-
No. Seeing some of those questions reminds me of the awkwardness of my own adolescent years. If anything, they instill compassion toward others and toward myself. Try answering some of 13 year olds questions. Then, ask yourself as I did why they leave us with a sense of unease.
-
I strongly believe that a lot of people here are under-age teenagers pretending to be grownups.
-
its hard to read some of them, its like when your watching a movie and then you just cant bear to watch because you know its going to be so stupid..sometimes they can be literate and have good questions, but I haven't really seen that many cringe-worthy questions.
-
YES, But... Sometime when your a young adult, you don't alway feel like talking to someone that knows you, You need feed back from someone outside the circle, you feel you need an unbiased answers, and your still unknown to all. Maybe we are just another oppinion, or thought, perhaps someone didn't get the answers they wanted "to hear" at home! I think there is a lot of communication going on at home, we are just back up or practice !
-
Yes and no. I reflect on what things were like when I was 13, and I am stunned at how NOT shocked I am. The thing that makes me cringe though is that they don't seem to be communicating with their parents. I was a wild child, but I always had a clear and comfortable line of communication open to me. I would have just asked my mom rather than resort to the internet and strangers. That makes me cringe more than anything.
-
I'm convinced it's the 13 year olds asking the questions that I cringe at.
-
No, why should I?
-
Yes but let me say this I am 29 and I can't believe what I read some times. I wonder if people realize that there are young peole on here.
-
Yes, but it is easy to click the box that says "click here if you are 13 or over" (Or whatever the equivalent is). Its not fool proof, unfortunately.
-
Yes very much so. Some people can be too bias when giving an answer as well, no only the explicit content. I suggest a filter so that when turned off you can see adult questions/answers and when turned on you can't.
-
I think what makes me cringes the most is that some of the most ignorant, embarassing questions aren't asked by under-agers but by adults.
-
No, AB is not a baby sitting service. If someones precious little bundle of joy logs on here and starts posting, what do you expect me to do about it? If their over 13, and on AB, I would assume that they are on here with their parents consent, which makes it all a fair game. Now, if they're on AB without their parents consent, then their parents aren't much of a parent now are they?
-
They do. I am often surpised at what people say in real life in the hearing of childen as well.
-
Yes I do, but I have no control over what others post. I take full responsibility for everything that I post on this Site and I hope that I set a fine example for all of the young people. I would only post things that I would want my own children to see when they were young.
