Poll.. Setting Age Limits..

[Laura]

My son just read that post, he thinks any 12 year old can spell better, it is bogus bad spelling in his opinion. Thinks it is probably a teen boy.? Not much can be done about stuff like that, except to get a grasp!

I don't think there should be an age limit here, because I am 14. I haven't seen any inappropriate things on this site, so why kick us kids out? Also, adults on here don't have to watch what they say. I know that another teen on here (wollfy) and myself have already heard many bad things, so you aren't exposing us to anything new.

I would like to thank browniesmom622, red98vett, Brutus'mama, and miezzi for mentioning the younger kids on here and saying that we are mature. I hope that you are posting about me being mature, considering that I am the only 14 year old girl that I know of on this site. There is a 13 year old girl (wollfy) and a 12 year old girl who are members of YorkieTalk who are also very mature. I do not understand why there should be an age limit. We aren't doing anything wrong, and I am sure all of our parents know we belong to YorkieTalk.com. I know that my mother has seen some of my posts and some posted by others, and she has absolutely no problem whatsoever with me belonging to YorkieTalk. She has even asked me several times to post a question about Riley (her baby) that she was wondering about.

I would also like to thank camorolynn, terri88, betteyanne, Laura, vainchick5, and Biddy'smom for expressing their opinion. I agree with them that there shouldn't be an age limit. I do not understand why myself and the other teenagers and kids on here are bothering those of you who think there should be an age limit. What are we doing that bothers you so much? I think that if all of the younger members follow the YorkieTalk rules just like everyone else, we should have the right to stay here and post our opinions, etc.

I hope that I did not hurt anyone's feelings even though mine were hurt in reading several of these posts. If I missed anyone who objected age limits or who mentioned me in their posts in a positive way, I am sorry. If I missed you, I am still very thankful that you are standing up for Jhordan, the other children on here, and I. Thanks.

I dont think that there should be age limits on here even though I have been seriously upset by a few posts and threads started by a younger member. There are some younger kids on here that are an absolute joy to talk to and I really dont think that YT would be the same without them.

I however do feel that as members we should really try to pay attention to certain younger members and what they say since I can recall a few times that we have all "had our undies in a bunch" (including myself) about things that have been said by them.

I dont think that we should have to show our age, but I do feel that those under 18 should have to. I just think that this way we would all know that we are talking to some one that is a minor and might not be quite as up on things as the rest of us that are adults. JMO

You put it very eloquently and I couldn't agree with you more ----- age shouldn't matter, only your love of yorkies. Of course, I am only 29, so what do i know? LOL

I want to ad tarawood and ReconsMomma to my list of people to thank.

Oha nd ReconsMomma, I hope I am not one of those people who started a thread that upset you all. Did I? I hope not! Sorry if I did!

That's like having a cutoff at the age of 65 or something because the older person's view might be outdated. I think that this site is GOOD for the younger people. Wouldn't you rather a 13 year old visit this site than a porn site or a site that advocates violence?

Very well said!

No you weren't the one that started a post that upset me. Your parents should be very proud of you. You are very well spoken and seem very mature. Just remember not to grow up to fast and enjoy your childhood.

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. Don't worry. I am enjoying my teen years and I wouldn't give them up for the world right now. I am happy to be the age that I am and I don't want to grow up fast. LOL

[brosie1823]

Midge- I never in a million years would have guessed that you are only 14. You are more well spoken and intelligent than half of the people that I go to school with (and I go to a major university). Bravo to you and your parents on a job well done! I also must say that I enjoy Jhordan's post very much too. (I'm sorry if I am leaving out any younger kids...sometimes I just have no sense of how old everyone it). I never would have guessed her age either. In fact, my 13 year old sister just joined the site this morning, and she is one of the best pet owners I have ever encountered. The funny thing is that there are a few people that I would have guessed were much younger than they were. I just think there is no way to be sure.

[Passionfruition]

Midge???? you're 14? No way! That's amazing b/c I would have never, ever guessed! You're so intelligent and it is a pleasure to have you as a part of our group!

I am a little leery of letting the "young ones" in....but goodness, it certainly all depends! LOL. I'm 23 and I guess I've forgotten where I was 9 years ago.

I do remember being underestimated at 14 - and I'm sorry if I have underestimated any of the younger members because Midge has certainly proven us otherwise!

Thanks so much for the compliment and the nice things that you said about me and Jhordan. It's nice to know all of the nice things that people think about me. LOL!

Also, I am glad to hear that your 13 year old sister is a great pet owner. Sometimes, I think that some kids can be some of the best pet owners. Pets just offer than unconditional love and friendship. Sometimes, it can be extremely hard to find a true friend in life, but you can always find one in a pet. And pets can be great teachers for kids. In my opinion, every kid needs a pet, preferrably a dog. LOL.

Once again, thanks to everyone that opposed the age limits and said such nice things about myself and the other younger members. W all appreciate it a lot! We love being a part of this site and we would be heartbroken if we were told we had to leave because of our ages.

Thank you very much Valerie! I am overjoyed that I made a good impression on you and the other members here at YorkieTalk. I am also very happy that I proved everyone wrong. Even though the younger members and I aren't adults, we still have opinions and concerns about our Yorkies. Thanks again Valerie! I really enjoyed reading your post.

Thanks Brosie1823. I enjoy your posts too. I enjoy everyone's posts but I just think that age matters doesn't in forums like this. Its about what its suppose to be...Our yorkies. And just think that yorkie forums and ages don't go. Plus I mean give their age...yes...it would be nice to know their age but it doesn't matter. I just think that some people on here should think about what do you do if you were in the position we minors or teens or children are in before posting something. Because what some people are posting now hurting our feelings as well. Just think about that.
