**unbrok3npp** , I haven’t read any of your other threads, and I don’t intend to, so my observation is limited to your posts in this thread. You’ve already been called by a previous poster on your punctuation skills, and I’m going to echo the point. Punctuation is important to many, if not most, on this board. We all make typos, and unintentional grammatical errors, as I’ve probably done in this very post, and we all are forgiven for these. You Merkins have your own version of the English language, but we do still seem to agree on apostrophes. Apostrophes. Please use them. Alternatively, type the full word. It’s all about respect. Respect for the language, and respect for the readers. If a writer doesn’t respect his/her readers, why should the readers respect the writer? ---

[QUOTE=Lynn Bodoni] The minimum age for being a member of this message board is 13. However, this is not and never has been a place for kids of whatever age…we expect and require a certain level of maturity. That doesn’t mean that everyone has to be dead serious all the time, but it does mean that we expect our posters to behave like grownups. [/QUOTE] And as our friend **SurrenderDorothy** proves, it’s entirely possible to be a teenager and meet this standard. A little “Don’t be a jerk” goes a _long_ way. ---

The one previous thread I read had something to do with “if you ejacualte outside of the vagina, and then put the penis in the vagina, can you get pregnant”- that from an educated 18 year old in U S and A in 2007? If that’s a serious post, I’ll eat my hat. And he claims this, at age 17 years 350 days, WAS THE FIRST TIMR HE EVER EJACULATED. He’s taking the piss out of everyone, he is. ---

[QUOTE=unbrok3npp] Im hanging around because I paid money for this (which for some doesnt grow on trees, especially for students) and I dont want other people to have to go through this. And obviously im not the only one who feels this way about the board, could the admins take a hint? And aside from all that, the people in the threads I start dont mind, and want to help…which last time I checked is the point of a _forum_ How am I the bad guy? And how am I a troll?? Im just a kid trying to get answers…I guess thats not the point of this site…and if it isnt, you shouldnt lie and harass people for using it as such. [/QUOTE] Actually you are correct. The real point of this site is to wait for newbies to try and assert themselves in the pit and then everyone pounces upon them, well, yes … like a pack of jackals. Of course the ridiculous threads started by xkcd are still going strong even though he has been unceremoniously banned. Kid, just pay the two dollars and pick up the garbage. ---

[/QUOTE] The “frist time ejaculate” thing I can agree with you on, but the other? Good lord. I mod a community for girls to talk about the gross things their bodies do, and you would not BELIEVE the misinformation that’s still floating around out there. There are still plenty of high school girls out there who THINK THE RHYTHM METHOD WORKS. Who think you can’t get pregnant if he only comes ON your genitals (you can). Who think if they get their periods they cannot POSSIBLY be pregnant. I find it easy as hell to believe there are THOUSANDS of 18-year-olds who don’t know if ejaculating and THEN inserting can cause pregnancy (it can). ---

Allen Funt was doing that shit 50 years ago and at least he varied it up a bit.

I can’t be too hard on the youngster. Personally, I’m glad the Internet wasn’t around when I was 13; God knows what egocentric, melodramatic rubbish I’d have inflicted on older, wiser people. What’s that – he’s 18? Jesus, Kid, grow up. ---
