Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I asked a simple question on a post made by a 15 year old who recently joined this community. I merely asked why we have a 15 year old in this community.
I am now speaking as a mother of 2 girls whose ages are 17 & 15. I know that I wouldn't want either of my daughters exposed to many of the conversations in this community.
This has been brought up in the past and most everyone here agreed that it's not appropriate for a child to be included in many of the discussions that we have in this community.
We have also discussed that it does make the adults here uncomfortable and feel that we would have to watch what we say because of having minors in this community.
I guess I forgot that we have new people in this community who might think this is acceptable and was told that she's here for help by one of them.
Now I've been sent a message by the 15 year old
Here's the message from the young girl....

I'm confused as to why this would be acceptable now when it wasn't just a month or two ago.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think I have pretty good instincts and have managed to ignore the kids, but I am also guilty of not always checking members' profile before I respond. Thanks for the reminder.
I like that responce, maybe there is a room that teens can go to. But this board isnt just about devorce. I have a lot of my friends here that havent been married....I never been so what does that mean ya know...
I don't have a problem with giving to support to children. But I do have a problem with exposing them to more adult material than they should be exposed to at that age.
There are other teen communities here for support. I'm not sure if there is one for teen breakups.. maybe this should be mentioned to Doug.
Some of the newer members don't realize that we've also had problems with pedophiles taking advantage of these young girls on this site.
This is a major concern and that is another reason why they shouldn't be here giving out information that an adult can take and use to play with their emotions.
Again.. this is my opinion.. and it's not because I'm a prude... it's because I do care about the safety and well being of the younger girls on this site.
