groups for teens
Hi
Does anone know a usenet group really intended for teens to talk about their problems, feelings, etc? I was told that some years ago alt.teens used to be such a group, but today it's a pornographic group. alt.teens.girls is even worse, all you find are messages about naked teen girls, sex and etc. And such messages are usually posted by adults. I=B4d like, for instance, to talk with other teens about my relationship with my parents.=20 Thank you=20 Nice boy |

I am sorry to hear that alt.teens has turned into a spam dump for porn. I used to be a decent group for older teens. It looks like alt.support.depression.teens has gone the same way unfortunately. That one was also a decent group a few years ago. While they may not work you might try alt.uk.teens.london There was one post there asking if anyone used the group and no porn spam. Not many teenagers or kids access usenet. You may want to see if there is a yahoo.group or some other group you can access out there. I searched and found this one for middle school teens http://groups.yahoo.com/group/just_4_us_teens/ only 5 members though http://groups.yahoo.com/group/talking_with_teens/ only one member atm. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teens_...bout_anything/ 4 members This one is public http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teens_meet/ 2 members There seem to be many different boards. Some are targeted to specific locations, some to gay/lesbian issues (some are obviously sex related junk too). You may want to join some and see if you can all agree on one board to meet up at instead of having several people in each place - you might even be able to reclaim alt.support.depression.teens if all of you got together though that would not necessarily be easy. I´d like, for instance, to talk with other teens about my relationship with my parents. I wish I could help more with putting you in touch with other teens, but most of my former teen contacts are now in their twenties or older and they are not hanging out on the boards anymore.

I told you a little of my background in the email, if you want to know more, just ask. I think it's too bad that there are not more groups for teens, but usenet has changed a lot and it seems many groups have just died a natural death and that is true of most of the teen groups that were good when I started posting. Depending on your issues, you might still find a place and perhaps other teens would follow. If you can think of a good name for the group, I can certainly help you get one created on usenet (an alt group is the easiest to do, but they are not carried on as many ISPs news servers as big 8 groups are. For the big 8, the problem would be establishing whether or not the group would be used (and you would need 100 yes votes at a minimum if there were no no votes on its creation - that would mean getting at least 100 people who want to use the group). -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..

Another possibility is to look on some of the sites related to different
interests. www.neopets.com has a large number of special interest "guilds" which are simply discussion groups, and most of them are teen-related. These are moderated and the topics of discussion are limited, but it might give you a place to start. I believe some of the sites related to various other games also have discussion boards as well. -- Donna DeVore Metler Orff Music Specialist/Band/Choir Mother to Angel Brian Anthony 1/1/2002, 22 weeks, severe PE/HELLP And Allison Joy, 11/26/04 (35 weeks, PIH, Pre-term labor) |
