i understand that some posts on here get
too aggressive and turn into defense
matches against each other, but in the
long wrong, its only speaking the truth
and nothing more.
Some get too aggressive, but other times
its only talk of the truth.
To put some sense in the minds of those
who think they have their life set out for
them and know everything. Or to show them
how irrational their being..am i not
correct?

Most often the OP never returns, therefore
it is no longer beneficial to them. Other
times two or three people get very off
topic. And by the time it gets to a point
of being locked, the posters we're trying
to "educate" are not even listening
anymore. Your "talk of truth" is often
considered too aggressive for other
people, even if we're only trying to
enlighten them. And really, if it gets to
that point, they're just too blind and
stubborn to see any sense in what we have
to say.

I agree with Krystine. Threads are locked
way too often around here. As long as
what is being posted is true, it should be
left alone.

i don't think heavy debate's are really
wrth locking
as long as it's a healthy argument, and
not bringing in personal stuff then it's
good, talking aboiut different views is
just going to help people come to their
own opinion with more knowledge for and
against the issue. Surely that's a good
thing?

what people say sometimes arent going to
be the nicest and yeah may be aggressive
to some, but thats the real world! People
are going to come up to you sometimes and
give a comment that may hurt, but your not
gonna put a locked sticker on their
foreheads now are you?
As long as like benc152 said, its not
bringing in personal issues why have it
blocked? its only saying whats true, and
yeah maybe they wont reply again, who
cares! a lot of other topics that didnt
get hot and heavy are left open.
It just seems as if we're sheltering
something that happens in everyday life
and it seems pointless.

I thing that i dont like about this
section not that i dont know if it happens
or not but if people are gonna get on
teenaged girls heads for concieving young,
yes it is a bad thing but i think we have
to be respectful and relise that most of
them may come here for general advice and
to meet others who are expeirencing the
same difficult stage of life.
my 2 cents lol.

but when a girl comes on here posting im
13 and want a baby, sure what people say
my seem harsh, but its just a wake up call
for that girl to realize that a child at
this age wanting a baby is irrational,
theres more to life than a baby at 13.
im sorry but a 13-15 yr old is not a
teenager. their a child. 16 is when your
classed as a teen. The girls who come on
here saying i want a baby, their not
asking for advice their wanting a 'yes you
should do that!' answer. and when we post
a reply, sure it may seem aggressive, but
to me, its giving them a wake up call
because god knows their parents arent
saying anything and their not talking to
their parents about it. we may not be
their parents but maybe what we say as
harsh as it may SEEM well knock some sense
in their childish heads.

if there's a question on a certain topic
and why it was locked, its worth talking
to a moderator of this forum, which are
now listed on the forum itself. or, speak
to admin. its not worth mentioning on a
thread itself, as it can cause more drama

There are only two locked thread on this
page. One was because someone found a post
from 2003 and started trying to give
"advice" and the other was one where two
mods asked if they should lock it, and the
only person who replied to that, agreed
she should, and they did. There are no
locked topics on either the second or
third page. In other forums maybe, but
this forum doesn't need that. And
Krystine, a teenager is from 13-19. I
understand you feel strongly about people
making mistakes, but forcing it down the
throat of someone who isn't even there is
only going to get you riled up.

I locked one yesterday that was bumped
from 2003 the OP back then was stirring
drama and angered alot of posters. I
personally felt that unless it was a
current topic/problem that we needed not
to have it bumped to stir contraversy on
others opinions of a child wanting to have
a child.
If you disagree with my decision to lock
the post please contact me via PM or Lee
our admin.

no my dear reptar, a 13 yr old is a
child.
you are classed as a teen at 16. it may be
written thirteen but you are still a child
at 13-15. judges and anyone in law will
say the same.
you are a child until you turn 16.
18-adult.
if your locking one post from a 2003
threat jessamyn, why not lock every post
from a year or so back? why only the one
that causes a stir?
its all opinions is it not?

but what should it matter!?
anything that someone says on here can
lead to drama, so can anything that you
say in in our societies. But we dont go
around putting lock signs on people.
its just the way things go, if people dont
want to read it, hey! theres probably a
thousand or more other topics to post on,
not all have to post on that "dramatic"
post.
its a natural thing that goes on, so why
should there be a shield on it here.

Krystine, I locked the topic about the 13
year old yesterday. Topics will be locked
when it begins to lead to drama or when
nothing is being gained. If you wish to
discuss the locking of that topic, you can
PM me or admin about it.

It was locked yesterday after being bumped
from 2003, the average poster doesnt feel
the need to dig up dramatic posts from
2003 comment and bump them. Therefore we
do not feel a need to lock all old posts.

Do not patronize me, I did not do the same
to you. We are not talking about children
versus adults, we are talking about a
teenager. A teenager is a person aged from
13 to 19 years old. I can not find a
single source that says otherwise. And
since the natural progression is child to
adult, I would assume anyone below 18
would be considered a child, and they
often are in law. There is not a different
set of laws for those aged 16/17.

a teenager is classed at 13, but you are
still a child in law until you hit 18/21
depending on where you live
