There are more "under 18" kids on this site than we all realize right?\nHas anybody but myself stopped to think that their questions about sex, rape, AND pregnancy may possibly be serious??\nThese 'kids' probably do not have any reliable source to confide in and in their NEED to recieve help, they ask all of us.\nSo why is it that their questions are made fun of?\n\n**I'm sure I'll get mixed responses for this one... so START.\nBut this question will prove \nA)who is just being mean to get "2" points and may I add ignorant, or ....\nB)someone who really understands where I come from

There are a lot of ignorant people, and unfortunately, a lot of minors who have parents who are not involved or oblivious. At times this is not necessarily the parents' fault. Teens often disconnect with their parents because they percieve that their parents do not understand their pain.\n\nThe bottom line is that people need to abide by the rule of only saying something when it will be helpful or encouraging (sometimes those aren't necessarily one and the same).

Careful what you ask for here. How can you know for sure that the people who may want to be your "friend" are really your age? There are so many predators online just waiting for a chance to get in contact with a child. Please be careful as to what you say to anyone here or anywhere online for that matter. I swear you kids on here worry me. God bless and keep you safe.

They're very immature, and/or so insecure that they have to put someone else down to feel better about themselves.  \n\nI personally love this site, because I like to get others' opinions on issues as well as give advice, if it's asked for.  I take it reasonably seriously.  Even if someone's asking a silly question on purpose, I'll probably answer whimsically, but never in a derogatory fashion.\n\nDon't worry, they're not the majority on here!  :)

Some of these dumb questions are people trying to be funny and earn points on yahoo answers. Most are really not knowing and not getting the sex-education at home like they are suppose to.

Hi this is a place where anyone with a yahoo id can ask or answer questions.  There aer allot of people who ask silly questions ro make inappropriate remarks but for the most part allot of the question are legitimate.\nThey have allot of catagories to choose from and it can be a great source to find out something you have not been able to find out yourself.\nThe point are only a matter of getting into higher levels to have greater access to the answers section.\nCheck out their help/FAQ page for more info.

Yep, just keep clicking on. Some of the questions on here are ridiculous, but for the most part they're harmless. Ignore them.\n\nI'm more concerned about the pornographic questions. Oh, and the number of young kids looking to this boardfor answers about sex,  or to meet someone. Dangerous...

8-13 and most of them are lying to you. They have their own page but and are being monitored By Yahoo for sexual content, and behavior. It is a really bad problem and Yahoo will end up closing this site most likely because it. Complain there are abuser links under every ones name, and these children don't care because they will be right back with another name in 10 minutes. We have over 1000 names and IP addresses right now and it's only been 3 days.

Unfortunately, yes to the second part.  And it's unfortunate not because I don't want to know what teenages think or understand, but because so many of the just want to mouth off.  If you're a teenage, please think about your answers. This is nearly a good tool, but will never make it if every other question is about sex or "should I breakup with my bf...".

I believe there are a lot of children here however,  the reality is we just have a bunch of immature, under educated, overly sexed, or sexually frustrated adults on Yahoo Answers.\n\nAt least use the spell check provided.

It's annoying cause you'd think they'd just read other questions like it. I mean when you ask a question, it lists other questions like yours right under the box you're typing in. You'd think they have enough sense in their heads (even if they are teenagers) to just click on the other questions and read what advice they're giving there. No, they have to make users retype the advice. I've just learned that there's nothing you can do to stop the 200 questions that are asked like this a day. So I just put the link to another question like it in my answer...and still get my two points :D. If they want to be stupid enough and not look at similar questions, I'll keep sending them to where they can look for themselves, while trying to be nice about it. When all I want to say is "Look at all these other questions and answers you f*cking stupid pinhead!!" :D

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

You're not missing anything, love.  This site is a microcosm of humanity - some people will try to help all they can, others wouldn't cross the road to help you if you were in trouble, and a minority - who will surely be drawn to answer this question as well - are just kids playing around trying to shock and amass the points.  To them it's a game and they don't think their words will hurt or be construed as hurtful.  They lack the maturity to understand that. You just have to ignore them and concentrate on the help you do get - and give - and realise there are some lovely people who do try to help as well as the scumbags who don't!

One of the best things about this site is that anyone of any age (well 13+), sex, religion, nation or country of national origin can use it.  I learn a lot from some of the most childish questions and sometimes a child my not have access or feel comfortable with talking to an adult, but will post a question here.\n\nThis is not a chat room.  It is an experiment in cyber community relations.  Perhaps yahoo would expand their catagories to include some which specifically say Adult Relations and not just Friends and Family or Love and Romance.\n\nSure How much wood and Why is the sky questions are a pain in the patootie.  Don't answer them, skip and move on.  Remember this is still a beta sight which usually means Under Construction or Development.\n\nYou might contact the Yahoo Answers team directly.

In respons to Rivers of Life\n\nHey pal.... watch who your dissing! We're not all like that. Most of the girls on here are only 14, 15 years old and incredibly insecure. Though I understand some of what you said, we live in a FREE country... where woman have the right to do whatever the hell they want. I wonder what you were all about at 14? Its called puberty, so get off your high horse and where the other persons moccassins, and while your at it, don't insult an entire country.

I can understand...from what I have seen on this site, there are more people asking questions trying to get attention or be "cute" than that really need help. (Not saying this about you...just in general). Same goes for people answering the questions...Can't tell you how many "I don't know"s I have read on here as answers. Immatuirty sums it up in a word.
