Break Up The Tweens/Teens forum

Anonymous
Jeff, can you please break up the Tweens/Teens forum into one Tween forum and one Teen forum?

I don't think this is necessary. It's more important that people who are posting say what age their child is.

why would you do this? It covers the grey area perfectly

It goes from elementary to “teen/tween”. Aren’t “tweens” in elementary school? It would make more sense if it was renamed middle/high school. Too many moms think their 7/8 year olds are “tweens”.

I thought "tweens" were 11-12. Doesn't make much sense to have a special forum for only 2 years, when so many of the issues overlap with the teen years - and when I post about my 12yo, I often appreciate the BTDT perspective of parents of teens, but they might not ever click on a tween-only forum.

If a thread is about a 7 or 8 year old, report it and ask that it be moved to the elementary forum.

Middle schoolers and high schoolers are so very different - -the answers to parents questions are never the same. And its always obvious when the person answering actually has an upper elementary kid.

splitting the forum doesn't stop stupid posters from posting - how can you not realize that?

I agree. Elementary is roughly ages 5-10. 11-12 year olds are tweens.

Why not "Middle School Kids" and then "High School and Above Kids"?

No. It already barely gets traffic compared to the rest.

No way! The sheer concentrated neurosis on display in that forum is HILARIOUS! You can't break that up!
