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.

Let me assure you of something Fljotsdale, assuming most teenagers to be immature and having their minds on fun all the time is actually true in most cases, I go to school with the biggest bunch of immature and childish persons and they're all teenagers.
