why not there be a teenaged thread where teenaged martial artist can get together and talk about the temptations of using martial arts in school? I know talkin about bullies against the rules but shouldnt there be a place where we can talk or atleast vent about these things?And heck!!!! why not allow some cursen there to? LOL

Why not there be?

Because nobody had started none. If you start you one, then there be one.

Cussin not be allowed, deal with it.

If I may, do you really want a teen thread where you will vent and rant about things and then the others won't take you seriously. The whole idea of this forum is to treat everybody as equals no matter what their age or skill level. Obviously there are many people on here that have more experience in life and martial arts but they don't need their egos rubbed by having a forum of their own; the same goes with teens.

I have engaged many individuals on this forum in conversations that you would never guess they were teenagers as they expressed themselves well and gave well thought out answers/questions. There are many I highly respect and wish more teenagers would get the hint and do so as well.

All I see a teenager forum as being is nothing more then a play pen where a lot of supervision would be required. We don't get paid to baby-sit ... and if we did ... you couldn't afford me.

I agree with Dereck and Joel. This site is here for people to debate as equals. You are judged on the quality of your opinions and debate, not on your age, gender and experience. Also, a teenage thread is a very strange concept to me. I cannot believe that all teenagers would be interested in the same things or hold the same views. Therefore, how would the issues discussed differ from the general forum?

If I wanted to talk trash with teens, I wouldn't be doing it here... it'd be in a private chat room

teens are usually in adult classes right? so why make a distinction here?

why not there be a Pirate thread? ARRRRRRGH

Too much trouble to moderate.

I'm not sure the pirates would be too much trouble, harlan.

They get out of line, just make them walk the plank.

Even after invoking 'Parlayeee'?
