Sam, what age do you consider a “young adult”? In my book a 13 year old is still a kid.
Kid,or adult this is yeshiva world not new york times.
sam, still in all good conscience, not every site is appropriate for kids. This is not a KIDS site it is an adult site even though it is a Kosher site. It is a site for adult conversation. You don’t stick an 8th grader into a 12th grade shiur for a very good reason. That is because the content and level of discussion is not appropriate and not geared for the understanding of an 8th grader.
That applies to this as well. As I said earlier. For a 13 year old to walk into a discussion here, it is as if she walked into a discussion her parents were having with their friends. If you consider that appropriate then it would be understandable that you would consider her being here appropriate as well.
There are discussions here that are just not appropriate for elementary school, or even high school age kids. There are discussions here about relationships, divorce, mothers-in-law, abuse, etc. There was very sensitive discussions here about Leiby. I would NOT allow any 13 year old child I knew to be here. That is all I am saying. No matter what you think the Yeshiva World was not created for kids. The intention was NOT that kids join. It was intended for adults and I doubt that the Editor even imagined that kids would want to join.
I understand your reasoning,but I believe that is more of sheltered view(not saying that is a bad thing).
(not saying that is a bad thing).
then what ARE you saying?
what do you mean by “sheltered view”?
sheltered from what?
sheltered from that which is innapropriate and harmful for an individual?
isnt shelter something we need, like clothing and food?
Exactly how you understood it was not what I meant.What I meant was everyone comes from different backgrounds and for some, one thing might be appropriate and for another inappropriate.Some people are more sheltered and some not it is neither good or bad the key word is different. If parents allow it how can someone come along and say your way is wrong.There are two sides to a coin.
thanks for the clarification
i guess aries i just go to the threads that interest me, {so relationships and divorces i stay out of anyway}
13 year olds do their own shopping online?
fancy fancy fancy
of course shmoel get with it this is what everyone is doing now
guys, back off of GumBall. how many times does she have to repeat herself before you actually read what she says. she already said twice before that her parents let and are ok with what she is doing. you can tell from her posts that she is mature (ok i can tell). i personally trust that she is telling the truth (why shouldn’t she? besides, why don’t you look on those threads which you think are inappropriate and tell me if you see her screen name there). sheesh!
😀 Zuberman! 😀
The point isn’t posting but rather even reading and being here even lurking.
Why do you guys care???????????
supergirl613: because kol yisroel arevim zeh lezeh.
ok tte You’re right, we should care about what Gumball goes on. But how many times can she be told that you shouldn’t do this and you shouldn’t do that. How many times has she answered that her parents know what she is doing, has a koshernet, her parents know what websites she goes on, but all in all, enough is enough. Lett her do what her heart desires. Her parents know what she is up to, she let us know about a good maybe 5, 6 times about what her parents let her do. Give her a break. Sheesh!!!
i’m 11
That’s my new favorite word. I don’t know why people keep bothering you, Gumball.
I Want my Mommy!!

Speaking of not knowing where people are, do you know where Amazingirl97 is? I really miss her
sugergirl…amazing just posted a few posts ahead of you. Look up 🙂
Thanx keepingbusy. hi amazingirl!!! we missed you!!!
I think as long as you realize that you are on a site for adults (we hope) and you tread carefully- not reading things that are not necessary, then ur good to go. the rest if your decision.
