I have no problem with teens coming onto this message board to learn, or with teens wearing thongs on the beach. More power to them!

Teens who choose to participate on the message board must take the time to think and post in a mature way.  This is a message board not IM or texting.   For example, there was a message posted today that read:

 i want a massage but i am nervous and if i wear my thong would it be awquard becuase i am a guy at only 15 PLEASE RESPOND I NEED AWNSERS!

Ok, here is the deal.  If you are a teen and want to participate in this board I need you try to think and act a bit more like and adult. I know you the poster was only 15 but still that is no excuse.

If you are a teen it is just not necessary to post your age in every message you post.  Unless it is significantly relevant to the subject matter just do not do it. 

We have had some problem with police coming on to the board and posing as under age teenagers to try and entrap adults.  If you keep posting your age in every message I will assume you are one of them and start to terminate your posts.  So don't do it.

Please use proper punctuation.  Start sentences with a capital letter.  Always capitalize the word "I".   We have readers from all over the world, some of them have trouble with English. so the least the English speakers can do is to use he English correctly.

Don't ask in capital letters for people to answer. This does not get anyone to answer any faster, in fact it causes most adults to just ignore your post entirely.

So welcome to all teens, but if you are going to participate you most try to be a bit more adult in thinking, writing and typing than the above example.

Thanks
