I Respect The People Who Deserve To Be Respected

I think the opinions of the 13-15 age group are as valid as those of any other group. Many of the posts made by the youngest members here are amongst the most interesting that I have read. They are also frequently amongst the most mature, albeit often with a certain intellectual naivety, which I tend to find refreshing.
The replies they get are usually dismissive and disrespectful, I would have expected that those who have greater life experience would be more supportive. The accumulated knowledge of those of us who have lived longer may be greater but IQ tends to be much higher when we are younger.
If a person is wrong, educate them don't belittle them. That should apply go anyone regardless of their age.

@Fernie the premise you have quoted was part of the original postulation, so if you think it's getting weird you must have thought it was weird to start with, to be honest I would agree that the weirdness and general creepiness of the discussion does seem to be increasing. If that is due to the original wording of my post then I apologise but I think it more due to the inference that anyone who makes reference to a minor must be a paedophile.

@Tuscan most of the members who claim to be teenagers on this site are in fact adults acting as click bait. Don't accept everything at face value.

I am sure that a very large percentage of members are in fact neither the age, gender nor species they claim to be. I still think that replies to their posts should be made as if they were
