Does YT have a min. age limit? Just a comment about something I have noticed... Lately, it seems like a few really young (I'm guessing under 14 or so) have joined. Does YT have a minimum age limit to register? IMO, if I was a parent (And I'm not saying it's right that the parent isn't monitoring as well as they should), I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be with my child on her talking about dating, sex, etc. with (mainly) adults. |

I don't know....but..I don't think they should..not all teenagers are immature. Maybe like nine out of ten but not all. |
well, the one that is writing about all her boy troubles is only 13 and none of her other posts about anything have made any sense at all. Now because i responded to one of her threads with one sentence, she is pm'ing me. i have had to ask her to stop. i have followed a lot of her posts and thought it was a mentally challenged person until I realized it was a child. |
I think it could possibly be a good idea to have an age limit. |

Hi there. I think as well is a really good ideea to have an age limit on this site, at least like that I won't have to be the bad witch that tells my partener's son(12 years old) that he's not allowed on this site. LOL |
I noticed this young lady too....I don't think she's posted anything that is yorkie related....it's all about her relationship with a young man.... An age limit should be posted. We did have Nicole on here puppylove123, she hasn't been on for a long while....but, she was a kick....loved talking about dogs, we all were part of her wait for a puppy....yes, she did talk about young kid things, but was sooooo funny.... |

but like I said not all teenagers do that..Theres a few teenagers on here who haven't said anything offensive or inappropriate. I think they should at least be given a chance and if they cause trouble just ban them. I've come across a few adults that aren't all that mature either. |
The same happened to me with the PM's. I told her she needs to talk to her parents about this stuff. I don't feel comfortable discussing this kind of thing with someone else's kid. I also don't think it is appropriate even for "off-topic" discussions here especially considering I have not seen any yorkie-related posts from her. Just my $.02 |

Another forum I visit has a min. age of 18. It isn't even an adult forum; topics inappropriate for someone under 18 occasionally arise, just as they do here. |
i am really sorry that i hurt her feelings but she was aggravating me half to death. i kept telling her i thought she needs to talk to her mom and not be on here discussing this with adults. She just kept on and on and you all know me by now. i don't always use tact. i finally just flat out told her she was very immature and basically the same thing I posted here. She said okay but can you still help me and answer why we are satuck together. i then asked her politely to nort pm me anymore. She said ok, then kept on. When she first wrote mee, i didn't make the connection and thought it was someonee asking me about dogs being 'stuck together and couldn't get away. Go figure. i have TWO mentally handicaped children, one severrly and the other learning disabled. he is adopted. That's why i tried really hard to be patient but it just got to be too much. her last posts on her thread just shows how really immature she is. We 'grown-ups' need to stop responding to that thread and let it die. She has another similar one right under it . |

This child has serious issues. Apparently her parents don't even know that she is dating, if they did they might take her yorkie away. |
I'm not sure about the rest of you feel, but I'm a little scared when a child turns to unknown adults for help....I only hope that admin hurry's up and banns her. |
this is really tough because no one can prove how old anyone is. i could have come on here saying i was 50 and no one would know the difference (i'm 23 :p) i think this needs to be a case by case basis... i think she should have been warned by admin that perhaps her posts were too personal and to just stick to Yorkie issues... but now that she is making many YT members uncomfortable... i do think she admin should do something about it.. but i don't think you should say only this age and above. because i know we have some 17 and 18 years olds here that are very mature and are great contributers to this site |

As I said earlier, Nicole was a very fun loving 12 year old...that could hold her own in most threads....yes, young but very intelligent, well mannered and respectful....just full of life. |
We've had several young teens posting and even a young guy...none acted like what I'm seeing here. I hope she learns her parents or someone close to her is way better than going online asking for advise...people here give great help but for that age they need someone in their life to talk to. I haven't understood any of her posts ...but it sounds like an attention thing MeganS is a teenager and she's more mature than some adults I know lol - |
I'm 18..and I can tell you.. when I was 14 I didn't even THINK about having a BF. And the computer..it was for windows 98 paint LOL. But if I did run into YT back then I highly doubt I would be talking about boys and I KNOW I wouldn't be calling people names like that. Its just those few unlucky kids that get on the internet and go on about their personal life when they should REALLY be talking to their parents. But are either to scared..or the parents are never home. She just doesn't understand and is looking for attention in the wrong place. |
I see why you started the other thread now, hmmm tough. I have two nieces 12 and 13 and I watch them like HAWKS and NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO they cannot date until they are at least 15 and thats to the movies and back. You can PM me with anything you have to talk about because I deal with my two nieces ALL the time and they always ask me different questions about life because they know I will not crusify them for it like their parents will (but of course thats what parents are suppose to do ;) ). I tell them the truth and they think I'm a neat Aunt because I like hip hop, R&B and all the other stuff going around but yet my head is on straight if you know what I mean :D :rolleyes: . So PM me if you ever want to talk I love helping them out and I will help you out also, it's only talking, but sometimes thats just what someone needs to do, is just talk :animal36 |
She must have PM'ed a lot of members..I responded to her PM, her inbox was full and she just joined. |
:animal-pa I agree there ought to be an age limit. :animal-pa |
I am undecided if there should be an age limit. MeganS has been a member on here a long time and is always respectful. I think shes 13 or 14. |
you know what bye forever I'm going to go cry for the rest of the day. |

I'm undecided too. How would or could it even be enforced? |
if this is so upsetting to you perhaps you should not keep checking on the posts... this is JUST an internet site... don't take it all so personal.... you MUST understand how you have upset some people... please just be respectful |
