Yahoo Answers for Teens?

Who thinks there should be a Yahoo Answers for Teens with more age appropriate categories (including children 12 and under who seem to think they're already teenagers)? I find it disturbing when I see teens posting answers to clearly sexual questions?





I know we can't censor children from everything in life, but when a 10 year old wants to know how to plan his next date or a 12 year old girl is debating sex with her 15 year old bf, a line has been crossed and since their parents aren't being responsible maybe someone else has to set boundaries.

Yahoo Answers for Teens?
Amen!! :)
Reply:I like the idea.
Reply:That's a good idea, but I do think that some of the teens really benefit from hearing advice from us "older" folks who have already been there-done that.
Reply:i put almost the same question on yesterday, i think it was, saying about a site for under 16"s, and everyone agreed, dont know how to go about it, coz u cant get through to yahoo, think they are a figment of our imaginations!!!!!
Reply:Well, kids under 13 aren't supposed to be on Yahoo unless their parents set up a family account anyway. You can report minors (under 13 in this case) to Yahoo and they may remove them.





Whether or not their are categories for sexual questions in a Answers for Teens, they will most likely still ask them. I agree that it's disturbing, but it's hard to prevent.
Reply:I don't think a 10 year old is allowed to be on Yahoo! Answers, or a 12 year old for that matter.





What difference would it make anyway? It's not that hard to make another account and lie about your age.





Plus, a minor section would be a hotbed for pedophiles.
Reply:I think you are right. Not only young children see sexual based questions but also racist and religious. The way they think and act can be influenced by those negative aspects of Y Answers. Those responsible for the management of this site should set up stricter rules as to which question should be posted and which should not...A site for young teens isn't such a good idea because older people with mental problems can still post questions there. Y Answers teem should delete more of the inappropriate questions here!
Reply:it all starts at home so whats it say about the parents?
Reply:I guess so..it doesn't matter to me
Reply:Second that
Reply:I agree. But, as you said, the parents are to blame. They should monitor their kids' computer use at all times. Kids are so slick these days, they tell their parents that they're doing homework and then they get online and ask all kinds of stupid questions or go in chat rooms.
Reply:While I agree I also realize that if you create a place for them that is just for teens, they won't want to go there. It's like being sent to their room. Just won't happen.
