No offense to anyone, but do you find it a bit humorous when a young teen gives sex/relationship advice here?

In reading the responses to some of these questions about homosexuality and gay/lesbian relationships, sometimes I run across answers from teens as young as 15, doling out advice on relationships and sex in areas such as sexual orientation.





And I must admit I'm highly amused in those situations, as it's highly unlikely that any 15-16 yo has had enough of a wellspring of experience from which to draw in order to give advice.





Don't get me wrong, I know it's well intentioned, but when you really get right down to it can you honestly conclude that a 15-16 yo has had a sufficient quantum of life experience to offer any type of authoritative opinion, particularly on subjects involving sex and alternative lifestyles?No offense to anyone, but do you find it a bit humorous when a young teen gives sex/relationship advice here?
Hey im a sophomore and I am a top contirbutor. You are probably like 67 and cant get a best answer on one question. I may have not been through everything that these people have, but I give them everything that I can offer.


I must admit, I am highly amused in this situation when an adult acts superior to teenagers and yet types like one. I understand some of us are not very smart, and suck at giving advice; but that goes for adult as well. I feel I am highly educated and I take pride in that. I help people the best I can, and I do good at it. If I hadnt broadcasted my age in a few of my questions, I bet no one would be able to guess my age.


agh.No offense to anyone, but do you find it a bit humorous when a young teen gives sex/relationship advice here?
I think it depends on the ';young person'; you refer to. Some of them have been through a lot at that age.
I don't find it humorous at at. Instead I find it rather sad that so many young teens lose out on their childhood, growing up too fast. I have seen and known personally 14 - 16 year old mothers. And 16 year old fathers. These young people should be worrying whether it is too young to hold hands or their first kiss. The morality has changed tremendously. It's not the kids fault. They are exposed to adult life on T.V. and movies they are allowed to watch. I can remember when it was a shocker when Lucy and Desi pushed their twin beds together on the I Love Lucy Show. Holy Moly look at them now. Same bed, sheets flapping to a good rhythm, only half covered on what is suppose to be innocent T.V. shows. I know of one T.V. Soap that has incest, lesbian and gay affairs, wives cheating on husbands, husbands cheating on wives. The kids watch this and take it all in.
Lol...
i agree with you completely, seriously your brilliant.
Can't argue with ya there!


Actually I have to laugh at some of the advice some of the older people give too!
Frankly, I'm no teenager (for a long time) -- and I'm offended. It seems to me that you are presumptuous, imperious, and arrogant.





For the record I knew I was attracted to other males by the age of 8 -- and by 16 was in a sexual relationship of two year's duration. I had no problem issuing advice at the time, and (obviously) I still don't. Likewise I listen to others, and that includes teenagers -- respectfully and carefully and consider what they have to say.





Teenagers often have NEW life experiences, different from what I've had, which allows them to issue exciting advice that takes into account things I can't -- and is far better than advice would be from, oh, I don't know -- people who are sure that they know more because they are my age or older.

Honestly...I agree to a extent.


I am only 19, and I'd have to tell you...my life has not been fun. I have gone through plenty of things to know a fair share about life. It makes me sad that so many adults think that a ';young'; person cannot possibly know what life is about.





But yes, if you are having trouble with your marrige or your life...and you take a 15 year olds adive...your a idiot.





Listen to someone that has at LEAST fully gone through puberty.
I'm still in love with the same person I was in love with when I was 12. I am well into my adult years now. I also knew plenty about sexual orientation, as I understood mine as a very young age. Teens understand alot more than people give them credit for.
LOL (laugh out loud)
Bottom line is that a good answer is a good answer no matter who it comes from...maybe they're less likely to give good answers. For the record I'm 19 and I've given lots of best answers for that kind of crap...maybe because the askers are only 15.
no.
a lot of teens know more then people give them credit for. they know their sexual orientation, i have a friend who knew she was bisexual at age 12. about sexual orientation, teenagers know exactly what the kids trying to figure it all out are feeling. they can offer advice. they've had same-sex romances. a lot of them have had sex. they've had comprehensive sex-ed classes and can offer advice on contraception. the know how it feels to be dumped and what it's like to not be straight in high school. they answer a question when they know, or at least think they know, about what they're talking about. and no one's saying the answers here are authoritative. they're doing their best and their answers can be some of the truest and most honest answers there are. i can see how it would be funny to an adult, however. teens like me offer what they have and it can be just what the other person needs, especially if the other person is a teenager themselves. if the answers are good and honest and helpful, don't nitpick.
No
Excuse me, but I frequently give advice on sex and relationships, and I'm fifteen. Just because we're young, doesn't mean we're idiots. Sure, some (read: most) of us are, but I'm not, and neither are lots of teens. Trust me, I know a LOT about sexual orientation and relationships, having struggled with both. I've had a lot of experience, and know what the hell I'm talking about. So get off your high horse.





Effing adults...
ok.


im 16.


and well i have had sex. several times.


and i have lived life alot.


wether i am young. it does no difference.


one shoudl not generalize because of some who dont't tend to give good advice.


i am 16 but i have been in gay foru8ms way before. like 13 and so. and at that age i would not give the advic e btu ask for it. and as i develop. i became more into it and more experience and grow to understand and comprehend several stuff.


you dont know what i have gone through, so you are just making a generalization.


i read several boooiks, sites, and everythign dealing with relationships and sex. and therefore i am well capable of giving advice wether young or not. so are you jumping to conclusions and assuming all older people tend to give better advice?


no.


depending on the teen, adult, etc. what they ahve gone through,experienced, read, and their are several acpects of a person that determines how well they understand stuff.


and plz dont generalize people.


thnk you.!
No it's not. I'm 15, and I've already been giving a lot of sexual advice in forums, and they like it very much.





Of course, it's different than other teens. I read a lot of books, from kamasutra from india, and futari ecchi from Japan, etc.


I know more than just techniques, some times I advise people the mindset they need to have, choosing the right time, solutions for medical problems, and things they need to know before first sex or marriage.
well; yes but at the age of 15 and 16 thats when you notice your sexuality, but any younger than 15 - thats FUNNYYYY
that is amussing.
Yes I do especially when it is not true
no i don't think it's humorous...teens are talking to each other, giving each other the benefit of what has happened to them, what they think, how they feel. at least they understand each other better than older folks might...and they know better where another teen is ';coming from';.





yes, true...older people have more life experience...but Everyone here can reach out to others, and offer what they have...teens as well as the rest of us.





yes some teens are silly, or obnoxious. but not all of them. some of them are very thoughtful...and have good insight. let them have their say.
haha, that makes me laugh too. I'm only 17, but I recognize that it's very very rare that a young person like me can have the type of experience required in order to give valuable advice.
Yes , cant help to agree with that .





Its the raging hormones.
Yes, I hate it. It's usually spelled wrong and is complete crap.





OMG liek i herd if u eat a banananana b4 u have sex then u n ur bf will not get stis rite? what duz ne1 think??????





If people don't know how to spell, how to use contraceptives properly, and are underaged, they shouldn't be having sex or offering sex advice.
Well you have to realise that many of the askers are 15-16 themselves, so perhaps people their age can relate more.





I'm only 20, but had more things happen to me in those years than many people have happen to them in their lifetime!





In the end of the day all you can do is share your experience on the subject, however big or small.
I just LOOK 15 or 16 in my pics. I'm not though. I'm 27.





But, in the defense of some of these kids, I know some of them have been through a lot by their age. Hell, by the time I was 24, I had already been outed as a lesbian in my high school, beaten up for it, thought maybe I was bi, had my sister in a relationship with a butch lesbian woman, went through my own coming out as ';lesbian'; or what I thought was lesbian, got married to a bio man, had a child, got a divorce, went to the military, started transition from female to male and started college. Don't underestimate some of them.
