I have a suspicion, Neb, that when people SEE young ones 'in the flesh' they make assumptions based on age and expect them to be immature and have their minds on 'fun' all the time. We don't realise how mature they may actually be, so some people may tend to treat them as 'kids' who have no claim to respect other than their being human.
On the forum, without the distraction of seeing 'a teenager' or 'a child', we just see the PERSON, and read their views, and assume adulthood because they are mature and sensible (MOST of you!). I LIKE the forum for that. It puts us all on an equal footing, regardless of age, race, gender, religion.
