not a very large amount of the teens on this site give intelligent (comprehendable?) input.

The reason that many teens don't seem to give "intelligent input" is opinions like that. Teenagers aren't given a chance to prove their scholarly aptitude, ergo they just stop trying.

Since I am a teen as well, that's not exactly what I meant but okay. I know everyone on the Barrow-Downs is given the chance to give input that is worthwhile to the forums (I don't like the way that sounds, but I can't think of another way to put it. And note I said "Forums" meaning it can be anything from Books to Mirth to RPGs or whatever).
The thing is, no one knows whether you are a teen or not when you first post unless you say so or something you post sets off a flag. You are given a chance, and opinions are always changing depending on what you show the other members of the Barrow-Downs. It's almost like in real life, when people make first impressions but are rarely the ones they want to make and thusly you show the person(s) how you really are.
And no one should stop trying to give good input and worthy opinions just because they
think other members are automatically *against* them because of their age.
