I do think that discussions like this can be productive and beneficial. But the 13-18 age set is tricky in that the maturity level varies greatly within those ages. I do think that kids under the age of 18 should have their parents consent if they are on a board discussing mature adult material. I personally know that I would not want my almost 13 YO reading something of this nature without me being present to answer any questions that she may have. But most 13-18 YO's on this board are probably not being watched while readin or posting on CB. I would think that discussing topics of this nature could be beneficial to the 13-18 age set but on THEIR level. And because 13-18 is such a wide range, it is a tough call to make.
Maybe making it so that only 16+ can read and comment on posts of this nature?
