Responcible adults will NOT ask kids how old they are.?

I think its a good idea to see an age just so some of us old guys who are on here dont get friendly with the kids. If I know Im talking to a kid I stop sometimes you dont know its a kid, there are adults on here too.\n I even went as far as going to the bottom of the answers page and asked them to consider a room for us older people.Yahoo has a suggestion link. \n I see your point cause there are weirdo's out there....but for me, if I know its a kid,,,I dont get involved\n ALSO IF THERE ARE ANYMORE people out therewho are older it would not hurt to send a comment to yahoo asking for a old people place. Adults and kids both would be happy if they had it

Because there are so many examples of parent's not asking and that leading to bad stuff.  Be thankful they care enough to ask.  Not all kids have that!

I agree with that.  Some people no matter what their actual age is stay juvenile and young forever!!!

Well, Quiet,\n It seems to me that the majority of people here are 20's and below. Their lifestyle has always included instant, within-seconds types of responses. Everything happens at the speed of light, so they ask the question, give it a minute, check the answer then move on to IMing their friend or whatever electronic, flashy toy they're playing with.\n This is meant with no disrespect, its just that they do their thing, get the info they need, and move on. You can tell that they're in a rush, as half of the questions asked are in shortened form, or some kind of electro slang that's popular with the kids now. I mean, if you can't take 5 minutes to properly spell and grammatically check your question, do you really think that they'll be back to give you a rating?\nMy opinion on the issue.\nCheers !!

It doesn't matter to me, but people should have the option to opt out of saying it if they feel strongly that their children shouldn't say it.  They should at least observe some sort of silence as respect while it's being said.

It is simply the culture values of kids these days. Adult believe it is all about them and not those around. Kinda say would you not say.

My husbands family tends to ignore my childrens birthdays also, but always buy things for their other grandchildren. I haven't figured out why, but now that my children are getting older they are noticing and I'm sure my 16 year old will someday confront his grandparents as to why. In the meantime I try and compensate for their lack of affection by letting my children know that I love them. My husband won't say anything either because he feels as if he is in the middle. The most important thing is that you are there for the children no matter what his family does. I figure someday they will look around and be alone due to the fact that they have treated everyone so poorly for so long.

I think the age ranges and even adults can give lousy answers.  I am 24 and have sometimes seen more wisdom from my five year old nephew then I have from people twice my age.

i think it would be a good thing if perverts wouldn't try and get 13 12 14 and even 10 year olds but there really isn't and they cant necessarily block adults

If you have to ask, your not old enough.

Thank you from a mom's viewpoint.  I think it's lack of supervision.  The computer may be in an area of the home that's is shut off from the adults.  Also I don't think some parents know what type of questions are being asked.

Definitely my thoughts exactly. In fact, I wrote to Yahoo Answers to separate the kids from the adults but didn't get a response.  No offense to the kids, but their questions make me gag...."I got a date...what should I do?", etc. It would really improve the game!

I have noticed there are several young and too young on this site.  To the point, I second guess myself on what to reply to and not.  I too hope this site is being monitored in fear of the Innocent ones on here, just looking for answers to questions their parents may not feel they need to answer.\nI should hope everyone takes age into consideration when answering.  \nI guess if it is being monitored, they will get caught.

The reason they don't respond to "no" is because they're used to their parents' idle threats.  Nothing is going to happen to them if they do it anyway, so why not?\nNothing drives me more crazy then to see a parent start counting to a kid.  Why are you giving them 3 tries to behave?  \nThen there are the ones that give the "1...2...2 1/2...I mean it...I'm going to say 3....Did you hear me?"  And they wonder why their kids do not behave. (shaking my head)

If there's such concern, why don't they just set up an "adult" section of Answers - complete with an over 18 only message - that can be easily blocked by parents who don't want their kids exposed to certain material?

Why not just be an adult and ask the other set of parents?  Let's try to stop putting children in the middle of our quarrels.  It sounds like there is a bit of a feud going on here, so keep it off of school property.

Because most trouble is caused by teenagers. Adults can't trust kids, they think they are too young to understand things and just want to against everybody even they know it's not right. They just wanna make adults pay some attention and impress other teenagers that they are cool. That's what I think.
