I agree the games are quite good. No other comment.

because they are to immature to be considered grown-\nup.  i have seen even grandparents acting this way.  it\nhas nothing to do with age, and everyting to do with \nmaturity.

I notice this big time.. there should be certain categories that they can lurk in.. and certain categories that adults can go into and chat, answer questions, etc... \n\nThat's just my opinion.. cuz I really don't care to answer dumb questions like, whether or not if a boy likes them in school or whatever! lol\n\nBesides, the way its set up here now, older ppl can prey on the young and cause alot of problems as a result.

because kids are younger and they've learned less, as we get older we know certain ways to do things and its harder to re-learn to do them new ways than to keep doing them our old way, even if the new one is faster. kids are learning these things for the first time so they pick it up faster because they've got more space to put it and no previous experiences. thats why you must walk grandmothers thru even the easiest web-forms even tho they're designed for idiots. in short: adults dont usually like bothering learning new ways to do old things. besides, they know more stuff anyway, and have their lives in places besides home, who needs the internet?

Well maybe you just are going to the wrong chat rooms. When I first started chatting online and making friends it was in game rooms like pogo, play cards and start a conversation. I know how hard it can be to be your age with young kids. The chat rooms are not always the best places, I have seen some real cra.. in there and whats really bad is that kids go there too.  Well good luck and I hope you have some luck chatting soon.

It is a relative question. Kids are attracted to sites like disney.com. Cnn.com tries to make their site attractive to adults and mature audiences.\n\nA big "NO-NO" is overusage of animated icons, sounds, movies, and flash animations. That is something you don't want to do.

people say kids do things cos of peer pressure.  I did things cos my sister was in high school and I was in primary school. I lost my virginity at 13 cos she was doing it and I thought it was cool, same with drinking and drugs.  Kids are given too much too young and don't know how to appreciate things anymore.  As they get older they don't have anything new to experience. Plus with the shows on tv these days don't help. My mum was still playing with dolls at 14 I stopped at 11 and my friends daughter knows all about sex at 8 due to older kids tv and radio and is more interested in boys than her dolls

The hottest thing on the internet right now next to chat rooms and text messaging is pet sites. These sites made for children to simulate the growth of pets. They are usualy creature of fantasy. They dont usualy die and thus provide for an endless amount of time to be spent on them. These websites have millions of users and millions of page views a day. One has recently been bought by VIACOM. It is called neopets.com. I used to play when I was little but since then I have found more useful things to do with my time on the internet.

Hate is such a strong word to use. I dislike the fact that they are getting pregnant at a much earlier age but that is strongly due to the way their parents raise them. They run free, show little respect, are unmannerly, and they are making bad choices. Now you see a lot of grandparents raising their grandchildren. I believe the drug meth has a lot to do with it also. My daughter got pregnant when she was 14 because I was never there. Now she's 19 and has 3 girls but she is a good mother. I'm very proud of her. She held down a job and continued with her education and graduated. From my past experiences with that drug I knew the pregnancy rate would skyrocket since it is a stimulant. You see, I was the one with the drug problem and always gone and I wasn't a very good mother at all. She was free to run and do whatever she wanted. Luckily, I have many years to live a clean life in case I should be the one raising one of my grandchildren. So please do not lay all the blame on young women.

Yes, the bell rings and stupidity runs rampant.  Unfortunately there isn't an age limit and we get TONS of little ones asking grade school questions.  Welcome to the internet communication age!

The reason why most of the Yahoo avatars are young people is because of the simple fact that most people that use things such as avatars (especially Y! avatars) are indeed younger people. And older people can still use them and just think of it as an old portrait!

In older people especially, I think it is envy.  They felt much more restricted in their choice of mate when they were young, and so they envy you the freedom they lacked.  Try to be sympathetic, but ignore their bad manners.\n\nSomething similar may be said about those who feel negative about children who are clearly of mixed race.  To me, these kids are among the most attractive of all.  I can't help thinking that old scowlers are thinking, "If I had let myself love that one in my past, this might have been my child."  At least some of the time, I'm sure that envy is once again involved.  The kids are far too appealing, personally, to have any other explanation work.

nah...\n\nPeople have been complaining that the current generation is worse than the past ones literally since Aristotle. Times changes, as do attitudes and fads. Sometimes the old folks (and that would probaby include me at 44) sometimes don't keep up with it and have a lot of nostalgia for what they *think* was there youth.

that's true. there are some very immature kids who ask stupid questions and answer stupid. like, why would someone answer "i dunno"? then don't answer if you don't know! but then again, I'm 15 and i answer good and I'm not immature. and think of how easy it would be for kids to just make up a fake birthday or a fake email and say there over 18. its not hard at all. it would probably just end up being a waste of time, useless, and hard to keep up with.\nand its not even a big deal. just don't answer their questions- its that simple. And if you want to help them, do it. it's now like their hurting anybody. They just want some answers! =)

Neopets does not have anything to do with religion. It is just good clean fun and a safe place where children and adults [Okay, I will admit it ~ I am on there almost every day] to play games and have a virtual pet.\n\nIt is a wonderful site!  I hope they keep going with it for a long time.\n\nI am a Catholic, and I don't think it is bad.

Like any intolerant one!! Try to open your mind... if children like it let them play... it isn't harmful at all... but well just remember nobody likes some one who says "when I was a child we used to..."
