Sonya, hon, I don't post on the CB.

It's all adults, for the most part. I'd go in there, and they'd be like "AGHHGHGHAGHGH TEENAGER SUPPORTING GAY RIGHTS!! AGHAGHAGHGHAGH GET HER OUT!!!!!!!!"

Me: 0____0

I just read the thread onn the CB and it makes me want to scream. Some people on the TB are a little bit older then the 'average teen', so what? I see teens as up to 17. I completely dont get where she got 'Team Leader' and 'antogonizing'?

I could kind of see where she would get that idea that I was kind of egging you guys on...because she doesn't know me like you guys do. She doesn't know that I was definitley not doing that and was genuinely just asking you opinions.

But adult...just don't understand lol.
j/k.

Ugh, I hate the CB.
The posting goes waaay too fast.
You either get ignored completely or chewed out.
So I avoid it.

 

[minnie_2006]

i've lurked on the CB a few times and posted on a thread and luckily I didn't get a bad response but they do seem to have their cliques!

 

[Pirate Me]

Yikes, that texting thread. I post on the CB but not if there's a fight going on; and yeah, there usually is. :\

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Can someone please post a link to this texting thread? I can't find it!

Just think though, we are the Adult DISers of the future.

It is (for the most part) inevitable (sp) that we will become like them. Y'know like in real life how we say "Oh, when I am a mother I'm never gonna do what my mom/mum did to me" but in reality it is scary how much more like your parents you become, over time.

The community board is for everyone though. If they want an adults only CB, they should go and post somewhere else.

You guys shouldn't feel scared to post on the CB; it's for everyone.. I personally don't post on the CB because it's too fast to keep up with all the topics and I don't have enough time. I do like to read the UKCB because they are at a slower pace and I'm from the UK myself so yeah

I think that I am going to get chewed out for this thread:

I am scared of the CB. Like a year ago I posted a thread about your favorite hotdog places and a lot of them started telling me how they are not healthy and I shouldn't be eating them. Bua few actually backed me up and fought them back.lol

I'm not a teen but I love a good hot dog. Sometimes with chili and mustard and sometimes with ketchup only. And don't get me started on corn dogs. YUMMY. One of the things I'm looking forward to on my next trip to WDW is going to Casey's Corner for those yummy corn dog bites.

Sure, in general, they're not the best for you but anything in moderation is ok.

Fear not young Dis'ers!!!! Go ahead and express your opinion in the CB if you like. You are free to do so. Just realize that it is a CERTAINTY that someone will disagree with you and that is fine. People have different opinions and that is what makes for interesting threads. People from all walks of life and all ages have different perspectives on things. If we share those perspectives, we can learn.

So, from this old fogey, go ahead and get involved in the discussions on the CB. A fresh point of view is always welcome. And if you get involved in the discussions, it is more likely that you will grow up to be a well-rounded adult which the world definitely needs more of.

And, my grammar tip for the day: the proper phrase is "should have" not "should of". I see this all the time on the CB so the adults can learn something about grammer and spelling too.

I never ever come over to this board but since it was suggested to me to I just did for the second time. As I said I consider myself to be a fair person. If I falsely accused you of something I am very sorry. You are 100% right I don't know you. I will admit when I was wrong.

Although, don't forget I was your age once and I do understand. You shouldn't lump all adults into one "pot" and think all of us think the same. Just as I said on that other thread about the students. There is "good" ones and "bad" ones. Same thing goes for adults. Shame is, often the "bad" ones are the one that people often remember.

As I have told both of my DDs numerous times. Life isn't always fair, and age doesn't have anything to do with it. No matter how old you are there will be someone who feels they have the right to chew you out, or yell at you, or dump on you. But they don't really have that right. Like I have told both of my DDs numerous times - don't let them do that to you. As long as you react to it in a polite, mature manner that person has no right to hold what you say against you. I told both of my DDs as long as they handle the situation that way I will always back them up. Hopefully all of you will have an adult to back all of you up too. Sorry, "end of sermon" I only do this because I really do care. If I didn't care I would just ignore all of you.

In respect to DDs feelings though, no, I will not be coming over here that much cause she says it embarrases sp? her (see I also have problems with spelling and I can't find my darn spell check)

We are aware that not all adults are the same.
Just like we know that very few adults are aware that all teenagers are not the same.
However, it seems that every single time that we try to post on the community board (Look it up in a dictionary people. Community includes people of ALL ages) we are brutally attacked and belittled. Honestly, if we wanted to be belittled we'd go and talk to other people in our lives who already do that.
Like the Webmaster and Moderators have said multiple times, the DIS is a FAMILY board (yes, that includes teenagers) where everyone is welcome.
So excuse us if we do not feel welcome in a place where we are supposed to feel welcome.

I'm sure you won't be back here but I'd like to thank you for apologizing.
I really appreciate it.

I'm assuming your DD is StichfansJr...and she's a great girl, now I understand why.

Honey I understand your anger towards those that belittle you, and you are fully justified to be angry. I myself as I said sometimes feel that anger cause I also get belittled, but what I don't understand is the angry tone you are using with me.

Let me clarify myself, not just your angry feelings are justified, all you feelings are. With age you will be able to "grow a thicker skin" and somewhat ignore the belittling rude comments. Not to say it won't bother you but just not as much. I don't have any answers to any of this, except to try to ignore the nasty people on the internet and in real life.

Let me ask you. How do you feel about adults coming over the teen board? As I said DD doesn't like it much when I come over here for fear that some of the teens will blame her for me being here. I am just trying to understand why on the internet and sometimes in real life why everyone has to be split into a group. Them and Us. "Teens and adults" Now please do not jump on me for my questions. ok?

an adult has never been not welcome on the teen board.
we appreciate the occasional drop in and comments.
ive never seen anything but a warm welcome with open arms to adults.


i wish i could say the same for the community board.

 

[valeriesunshine]

Some adults come to the TB to ask questions or ask for a teenagers opinion. We, the TB'ers, gladly answer their questions with respect and enthusiasm.

I don't mind the adults coming over.
If they ever have questions we're happy to answer them.
We don't mind if they came hang out with us and give us an adult perspective on various topics.
Heck, I'm friends with a few adults on the board whether they be ones that come hang out on the TB or the peeps on the Limey thread.
In fact, 95% of the TB doesn't mind if adults come and hang out with us.
We always have warm and welcome arms open for them to come over.
Like Shelby said, we just wish that the CB was same considering a community includes teenagers.

ETA: I'm not trying to direct my anger at you in anyway. I'm just saying what's on my mind about adults for all those to read. You happen to be one of the only adults who are coming over and reading this thread and I mean no disrespect towards you or any adults on this board.

 

[Stitchfans]

I hear both of you and fully understand.

[Babyjustrun]

I never ever go on the CB.
Ever.
I find whenever a teen goes on there, they are belittled because of their age. People will analyze your every word and hold you to it.
It's not something I look for when I come online.

 

[pigletgirl]

I actually don't mind the CB, you just have to pick and choose which posts you respond to.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I read the CB a lot, but I hate how judgemental they are. I hate hate hate it. But I guess it just shows how immature they really are.
