Poll...I just seen a question, and it was answered by a 13 year old, I wonder?!
Question: how many of us are talking to kids, and thinking we are talking to adults?
Answers: how many of us are talking to kids, and thinking we are talking to adults?
probably about 1/3 of children answer these questions.pityful,they shouldn't be on yahoo Q&A's at this age!imho
you just seen? well...?? hmmm, you never can tell can you?
I think during the day alot of them are kids
Probably more than we think.
i would assume its half and half, but its probably more like 75% kids now because some schools are out for holidays
I've re-thought more than one question because of just that very thing.
At my age, almost all of you out there are kids.
I gave best answer to an 8 year old once.There's kids on here.
i think it is mostly teens on here....esp. in the late afternoons when school is out.
yes, but nowadays, they learn worse things from TV and friends/family
Good point - Sher
I'm 16 if that clears things up
and you'd be surprised at how sophisticated we can sound
theres alot of kids on YA, some of them are in really low grades, i have no idea how they got on here. There was this girl who was asking what to buy her Boyfriend for christmas. she was eleven years old in her profile, most people were teling her to get laungerie for christmas and wine. creepy. i dont think they knew though. still, sometimes little kids get too curious.
I always keep in mind that my responses may be read by a kid. I keep it appropriate.
The responsibility is mine to determine who I am answering before I do. Most of them are easy to spot.
I have a worse scenario for you. How many times do we think we are talking to a 12 yr old and find out it's an adult. Dang public schools.
Now days we never know. When I was a kid there wasn't the Internet. We actually had to go outside and have fun! Now days kids have the Internet and video games to play. And we wounder why our kids lack exercise!
it's hard for you to differentiate huh?
I wonder that as well. They should be in school right now!!
I have no idea. I wish that Y/A would put some kind of visual marker on people who are younger than 18 or something, because at times I don't know how to answer a question based on age.
I'm not on here for serious intellect anyway, so as long as I'm laughing--who cares!
The only people I chat to are people I know personally.
You can't tell anywhere on the Internet how old people are and I believe we should all be very careful because unfortunately there are many people who just abusive it.
i think sometimes kids have the best advice, as long as we keep everything clean in here it doesnt really matter
It's true. You have no idea who you're talking to here on Yahoo. You can get an idea though by their language. That can't be hidden. You are going to convey your thoughts the same way you would speak normally. I would hope everyone tells the truth about their age from the onset.
Actually, if I give a question out, I don't care who sees it! I think P & S should be 18+ anyways, so I'm gonna keep it as such. And if some teenybopper's parents have a problem with my questions, I'll be more than happy to send them a package of Dee's Nuts.
im 16, dont feel outta place to be honest bt thats my opinion...
