I don't think that any users should be forced to use alternative methods (Even within TeenHelp) for gaining advice if they are of a certain age. If a 13 year old female had perhaps done certain things that she was curious about, or needed to know how to get help for certain issues, then they should be quite within their right to do so.

The PG-13 forum is to hide more non PG-13 topics from users who don't need to see them. This is different from the prefix. The prefix is there to give a warning that content may not be suitable for certain users.

As far as I am aware, as the system stands... it allows users over 16 to discuss topics of a more sexual nature, but also allows those under 16 to ask questions of a sexual nature if they wish to. It doesn't allow users under the age of 16 to expose themselves to issues and facts that they may not already know, but allows them to get support and advice on those issues that they do know about (or are inquisitive).

I personally think that it should stay this way. Although if you do have an issues, I would be happy to discuss it with the Operations and Procedures Committee
