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.

What do you think about teens who marry right out of high school and have kids young?
I have a friend who dated this girl at school since he was 15.
He got married a few months after high school at 19, and then had a baby with his wife when he was 20.
He is 23 years old now and is MISERABLE.
He has no college education so he works at a sporting good store while his wife stays home with their child.
He says he feels he has messed up and his life will never be how he wanted it.
Even though he was a teen he should have seen the warning flags:
His girlfriend was threatening to leave him if he didn’t marry her right away!
And then she demanded to have a kid immediately after the wedding.
No one hangs out with him anymore because he and his wife are always fighting and seem unhappy.
I think teens can wait longer if they REALLY love each other. What’s with these teen girls demanding a marriage and children?
What do you think?

Reply:Well statistically speaking the marriage has a very low chance of working out. I actually know someone who did this and they have been married over 20 years, so there is always the exception. People should wait until they are old enough to make this kind of decision. 18 years old is still very young. Why not wait until you are settled into a career first, and have an opportunity to live in the real world for awhile.
Reply:It's terrible. I think if u really loved this person u can wait for the person, u don't need to get married right away and then start a family. These people need to grow up.
Reply:I had a child at 18 and married at 21, i dont think i'm doing too badly we're pretty happy and everything! Each scenario is different, maybe they should try marriage guidance to work through their problems? If they are willing to give that a go it's worth a shot, if not perhaps they should sit down and talk about this as rationally as they can. Its not great for the child to hear mommy and daddy fighting. Best of luck to them who they can settle things amicably whichever road they take.
Reply:I think they are too young. I made sure that I enjoyed life and explored all kinds of things in life. I never settled down till I was out of college. I may have been a bit promiscuos at times but at least I had fun. Now i'm settled down and have my first son and I'm 30. I'm glad I waited. I see so many of my friends who are in their early 20's settling down and I think they should enjoy their youth while they can.
Reply:Well, he got caught into a classic case of 'being whipped'. She owned him hard, and theres nothing good to do now. If they split, the child will grow up in a single parent home. If they stay together, they may continue to fight. They must learn to work differences out, not for them, but for the good of their child. Thats whats important -- the life of the child, not theirs.
Reply:well, from my personal experience, it's up to the individual. i married not long after high school ended, my husband and i were together 6 months when we got engaged, 18 months later we married, we now have a beautifull daughter and another on the way...years after our first date and we have never been happier!
by the sound of it, he's a fool, if my partner said, marry me or i'll leave you, i would have said SEE YA! u marry for love, not cos u were threatened too. what a tool. if he isn't happy, introduce him to the words "councelling" or "divorce" hope this helps!
Reply:You go through so much growing between the ages of 18 and 25. It's really like a second adolescence. So I think getting married during that time can inhibit self-discovery and mature decision making. Waiting until your mid-20s greatly increases your chances of having a successful and stable marriage.

Can it be true? Sex Education Linked to Delay in Teens having Sex? Why or why not?
New research was finally conducted to find out the affects of sex ed on teen sexual activity. What did they find out from 2,000 teens?
"Male teens who received sex education in school were 71 percent less likely — and similarly educated female teens were 59 percent less likely — to have sexual intercourse before age 15."
Sex Education Linked To Delayed Teen Intercourse:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...
What were some of the myths teens had about sex?
"Some still believe you can’t get pregnant if you’re standing up or doing it for the first time or if your boyfriend is drinking a lot of Mountain Dew."
Can it be true? Sex Education Linked to Delay in Teens having Sex? Why or why not?
I think it could be true and it is even logical if you think about it. Usually knowledge leads to good decisions and ignorance leads to bad decisions. Nothing revolutionary about that concept. Only the abstinence only fanatics seem to believe ignorance is the way to go.
Don't forget a liberal country like the Netherlands has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in the world.
Abstinence only is not only illogical as illustrated above but also Utopian. I think you need policies that work in the real world
Reply:Thank you. I liked the knowledge is power statement. Very true Report It
Reply:wow, i knew many teens thought they couldnt get pregnant the 1st time but didn't realize the myth about standing up or drinking mt. dew!
we are in serious need of frank discussions with our teens, esp. living in today's hypersexualized society.
thanks for sharing the article.
Reply:could be very true...think of this...right now in USA society we have the most populated obese children ...... law makers made PE not required in schools so many schools cut it out....well if we had PE required in schools maybe we wouldnt have this problem.........hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Reply:I believe it. Knowledge is power.
I've seen some pretty interesting myths on sex on Yahoo! Answers like if the girl is on top she can't get pregnant, you can tell someone has an std just by looking at them, douching afterwards will prevent pregnancy, pulling out will prevent pregnancy, etc. Can't be that far off from what some teens (and adults) think.
Reply:I am honestly stunned by the lack of knowledge people have about their bodies. That people still believe crap like that in this day and age is amazing. I had the most basic form of sex ed and even I knew better than that. Parents need to have a open frank discussion with their kids about sex. People need to realize that just because you are educated it isn't true that you will run off and have sex. And if you did, you will at least be informed and less likely to believe crap.

Teens- Does being fat make a person a loser? Read details...?
I asked my daughter this morning why the one shirt (without an undershirt) was a problem and pointed out that she used to wear things like that all the time. (She was throwing a fit because her one undershirt was not cleaned in enough time to pair it up with a nice form fitting t-shirt- it wasn't like anything showed through, it just wasn't the style she wanted)
My daughter said to me "Well that was when I was a loser" implying when she was heavier she was a loser. (She has lost 67 LBS in less than 9 months and is now 99.4 LBS at 5'2"- yes, she is anorexic)
My question- Do most teens think that heavy people are losers or is that just a side effect of the anorexia? What do you think?
Teens- Does being fat make a person a loser? Read details...?
I think she has a dilluted self image. Im a big girl, not to big but big none the less. I have always been popular and I have always had alot of friends. She has to learn its not what you look like that makes up who you are. She is obviously not comfortable with herself so you need to help her with that, and yes grouchiness is a side affect of anorexia just think if you haddent eaten in forever you'd be grouchy too lol. I would get her help eat disorders are soo hard to overcome by themselves, its not something that shes just going to grow out of. Make sure you tell her that after high school the world is sooo much different and people come in all different shapes and sizes just because your big doesnt make you a loser
Reply:Thats good you are trying to get her help.
almost all kids think that fat kids are dumb and uncool, its sad but true. Hopefully you have already gotten your daughter into treatment for anorexia? Not all problems can be solved on yahoo answers.
Reply:Unfortunately I judged people for their weight and I regret it.
Reply:I*m not a teen but no fat people are not loosers!!!!!!! They are people too!!!!!
Reply:well you child is obviously sick in her head... and you need to do something about it. I think people who starve to get thin are the REAL losers.. I think defining looks to whether they are a loser or not is just ridiculous. If you look outside at the real world, there are so many other things in life that makes a person a loser. Like having no self respect, having no brains, etc etc...
Reply:I personally do not think people who are obese are losers! That is such a generalization. Weight does not make you who you are, and people who think so need to meet more people and open their minds. Does how much you weigh change your personality? I think not.
I also think that this would be a side effect of anorexia, as anorexia makes one constantly think one is fat.
Reply:You stated "yes, she is anerexic", I wouldn't be asking strangers about what others think of heavier people, I would be getting her some help and fast.
Being fat or thin will be the least of your/her problem if this isn't delt with.
Reply:I would be more worried about her having anorexia than about her being a "loser."
Reply:No, just look at notorious B-I-G.
Reply:no!!
Reply:most ppl think that, but i dont. all that matters is if you like who you are if your healthy. i rather have curves then none at all.
Reply:The majority of teenaged girls..and most boys..do.
I think it has a lot to do with the media..and portraying skinny to be pretty..and flawless.
That's fake.
Beautiful comes in all different shapes and sizes,real talk.

She has to learn its not what you look like that makes up who you are. She is obviously not comfortable with herself so you need to help her with that, and yes grouchiness is a side affect of anorexia just think if you haddent eaten in forever you'd be grouchy too lol. I would get her help eat disorders are soo hard to overcome by themselves, its not something that shes just going to grow out of. Make sure you tell her that after high school the world is sooo much different and people come in all different shapes and sizes just because your big doesnt make you a loser
Reply:Thats good you are trying to get her help.
almost all kids think that fat kids are dumb and uncool, its sad but true. Hopefully you have already gotten your daughter into treatment for anorexia? Not all problems can be solved on yahoo answers.
Reply:Unfortunately I judged people for their weight and I regret it.
Reply:I*m not a teen but no fat people are not loosers!!!!!!! They are people too!!!!!
Reply:well you child is obviously sick in her head... and you need to do something about it. I think people who starve to get thin are the REAL losers.. I think defining looks to whether they are a loser or not is just ridiculous. If you look outside at the real world, there are so many other things in life that makes a person a loser. Like having no self respect, having no brains, etc etc...
Reply:I personally do not think people who are obese are losers! That is such a generalization. Weight does not make you who you are, and people who think so need to meet more people and open their minds. Does how much you weigh change your personality? I think not.
I also think that this would be a side effect of anorexia, as anorexia makes one constantly think one is fat.
Reply:You stated "yes, she is anerexic", I wouldn't be asking strangers about what others think of heavier people, I would be getting her some help and fast.
Being fat or thin will be the least of your/her problem if this isn't delt with.
Reply:I would be more worried about her having anorexia than about her being a "loser."
Reply:No, just look at notorious B-I-G.
Reply:no!!
Reply:most ppl think that, but i dont. all that matters is if you like who you are if your healthy. i rather have curves then none at all.
Reply:The majority of teenaged girls..and most boys..do.
I think it has a lot to do with the media..and portraying skinny to be pretty..and flawless.
That's fake.
Beautiful comes in all different shapes and sizes,real talk.

Reply:As the cliche goes; when they are ready. There is not magical age that signals when teenager is ready to enter a relationship, but being able to keep a pet alive, having a some money of your own, and a demonstrated ability to make rational decisions when the need is there (kids make mistakes, a lot. But what is important is the decision they make when it matters most) are good markers.

Serious issues.
Reply:ive dated since i was really young, you know like primary school "boyfriend" when you get your mates to talk to them for you, and blush when you meet eyes and write "Mrs BlahBlah" over your school books, but NEVER TALK.

Teens 12-15...Contraceptive Injection?
Ok I dont mean to offend any mothers who had a baby very young because I'm sure some of you are perfectly able parents.. but lets face it most girls this age arn't able to look after a baby properly and end up ruining certain area's of their life in many ways.
I'm not sure you if you should to force girls 12-15 to get the CI..but incourage it somehow. I am very lucky to have not got pregnant at 13 I remember having emotional problems at this age %26amp; felt very unloved and empty %26amp; I confusedly thought having a child would shake my life up and fill the void-I would have ruint my life- So just educating girls about contraception may not delay pregnancy because alot of girls this age want to get pregnant in my opinion.
The injection lasts 6 months. So that is 6 injections per girl over 3 years. Maybe we should give it like a school vaccine. Come on its much better than an abortion or a young teens life made so so difficult.
We need to still teach them about condoms cause of std's
Agree?
Teens 12-15...Contraceptive Injection?
I'm 18 and am expecting my first child in June. I'm very happy about it, don't get me wrong, but I think that most people couldn't handle it and the ages just keep getting younger (12, 13, 14). My fiance and I have decided to put any daughters we have on birth control when they start their period, and to keep a condom jar somewhere (like under the bathroom sink) thats up for grabs for who ever needs them. I might not like that my children are having sex, but it is a part of life and its not anything that you can stop. I think that parents need to take a bigger part in raising their children and talking to them about sex, instead of relying on the school. I want my kids to be able to talk to me about it, and I will have all sorts of infomation around the house for them so if they have questions they can get reliable answers. I feel that schools and clinics should be able to offer birth control to teens without the consent of the parents, there would be a lot fewer kids getting pregnant. Good Luck
Reply:No. Messing with their hormones is not the way to go. There are enough problems with infertility amongst women in their 20s and later as it is - because of birth control, hormones in food, environmental factors, etc.
How about having family values and morals, from a very young age... or is that just too old fashioned? Well, it seems to have worked really well amongst my family and friends.
Reply:Depo only lasts 3 months so that's 4 injections a year.
I do not recommend this type of birth control to anyone, especially teenagers. It has various side effects that are not worth it in any way, and I know from personal experience.
I definitely think that any one of any age should have access to birth control. It's great if they have that type of relationship with their parents, but if not they should have access to reliable and affordable medical care. They should most especially have the knowledge that they have this care available if they need it.
I went to high school literally 1 block away from a FREE adolescent family center of an award winning hospital. However, I did not find out about it until I had to take a pregnancy test (positive).
Teens should know that contraceptives are the best option after abstinence because condoms DO fail (as was the case for me).
Forcing anyone to do anything. however, is ethically disgusting. Shame on you.
Reply:I don't agree it should not become a school vaccine! Knowing that they are protected would encourage the girls to have sex knowing that they can't get pregnant. It might lower the pregnancy rate but it would increase the STD rate which is worse in my opinion. Catching something like HIV or AIDS is worse then having a child at a young age.
Once a girl starts her period you should discuss with her that she can now get pregnant if she has sex and discuss contraceptive options if she chooses to become sexual active. Hopefully you can creat a very open line of communication with your daughter to where she will come to you and you can take her to get on birth control when she needs it.
All birth control affects women differently. That shot may be ok for one woman but be horriable for another. I tried the shot one time %26amp; I will NEVER do it again. The side effects were horriable.
Reply:Hey. I have to say I do not agree. Some girls do not have sex until they are over 16 or 18 or whenever. It is there choice and they should not be forced into taking things they do not want to. The goverment would never agree this because of free will. Every girls goes through there teens in a stupid way but what you are suggesting is just silly.
Reply:Are we talking about Depo-provera? Women who use this are at risk for loss of bone density (osteoporosis, anyone?). It's not recommended for use for longer than two years. There should be a ban on vaccinations. There is no logical reason to put those dangerous ingredients in your body.
We need to educate children OURSELVES instead of leaving it up to schools and peers to do it for us. We need to be actively involved. I often wonder if these girls aren't able to look after a child because they are babied themselves. Their lives are only ruined because they are shamed and taught to give up.
Reply:I don't think teens or kids need hormone injections. These hormones mess with the brain. I don't see how that's even healthy. I think teens need parents who will step up to the plate and chaperone them.
Reply:I think in this day and age parents need to start early with teaching children about sex and their bodies. How to act mature and responsible w/o compromising yourself/values.. Yes, teaching children morals and values- WOW ! What a concept ! Also, engaging your children in extracurricular activites and spending time together keeps children's idle time to a minimum... Open/honest conversations about sex/relationships and birthcontrol shouldn't be overlooked or seen as only something children should learn in sex education.
If I had a daughter I would have them put on birth control and learn about condom use as soon as they started their period. I have two boys and they will DEFINETLY be given a stern/honest talking to about behaving as gentlemen and being responsible for themselves sexually.
good luck
Reply:Sorry. As much as I hate the idea of "babies having babies" you can't force a medication on a person without their consent. It's not like vaccines where other people's health is also in jeopardy. Having a baby as a teen only hurts a few people (I know, I know, society, wellfare, blah blah... I'm taking physically here).
The point is, we live in a so called "free" country. Even people with mental disorders are allowed to legally deny medication. Hey, ideally, if it were up to me, I'd pull a china and only let people have 1 kid. There are too many people on this planet as is. But, I'm also not crazy or evil. As much as I've chosen to not have children, other people have the right to choose when, and how many they want.
I think it would be great though if we freely offered BC to girls, and quit making it so taboo. Shaming people into not having sex doesn't work, and there are 6 billion people on this planet to prove that.
