Does anyone else agree? (or disagree?)

I'd disagree, for the prime reason that I, personally, find it a lot easier to communicate with people older than myself in the first place.

At the age of 10, the person I found easiest to talk to was over 50. Now, I can just about manage a short conversation with a mature 30+ person. I can really only imagine a teenage-only chatroom being a nightmare.

Of course, different people may have completely different experiences.

Plus, I've seen some pretty inappropriate conversations in the main chat.

I forgot to say the reason I posted this:
I found that many times I go onto the wrongplanet chatroom, there are older people who talk about things such as familys, homes, work, all that sort of stuff that younger people can't really talk about. I'm saying that perhaps there should be chatrooms for kids, teens, adults, and a chatroom where anyone of any age can go.
And I hate it when people say swear words when they don't need to, and it goes unnoticed.

Anyway, please do continue to vote, as the poll will close in about 2 weeks.

To be honest, I find the shatroom to be one of those some days it's good, other days it's unbearable.

That'd be a cool idea, but people can lie about being a teenager when they're not.

I agree - but the times I went in the chat people just spoke about anything even if it wasn't suitable for the younger lot.

I really wish that there was one on this website. Other teen chat rooms I have experienced to be very disturbing, but I just think that if there weren't neurotypicals at all, it would be better. OF COURSE not on NTs are that way, and not all aspies aren't nasty, but you know... I think that it would just be easier. Also, on this website, the chat rooms have mostly adults, and it makes me feel a little strange.

Yeah, I think that there should be a chat room for autistic and aspie teens. I have seen teen chatrooms before, but I haven't seen one that was specificly for that. So there should be one for those people so that it might be easier for them to talk to each other. :)
