Underage people on here

Maturity doesn't always come with age, age is just a number, yet rules are set for a reason.

There is indeed many who are quite delusional, media, mental illness, can be factors, or just an over active imagination that one is not grounded enough to establish the difference between reality and Wonderland.

You can tell them all you want that "you aren't anything, but human. Magick cannot change DNA, ect." However it will do no good to keep telling them if they will not listen.

Fluffies will always be around, unfortunantly. We'll just have to be mature enough to not feed the delusion, and ignore the poor attention seekers and let life teach them, for we cannot.

If you encounter someone who is under the age of 13 they need to be reported to the Moderators. The rules of the site don't permit underage members because it can have legal implications.

I believe this thread is a great example of people openly admitting to be under the required age

I know of a under aged person

It's been taken care of Z.

Yes it does need to be changed. You can still use this websight even without an account.

I do agree that with most of us under agers it is easy to be naïve and vulnerable to fluff thinking. But there are some of us that really would like to learn as well. Things are happening around us and through us that we can't explain and with guidance we could be a helpful force. With the technology of today, info is readily available but wisdom comes through experience and therefore I am on this site to learn from people with experience.
Just ignore the ones that wanna play at magic and help us, the ones with the yearning to learn so that we don't hurt the people around us through mistakes because we are left to fend for ourselves.

I think this site should be for people over the age of 17

I don't find that being over 17 to join is good idea. You got of think of those who are not fluffy and who are 15 and 16 year olds with common sence. I understand if it was 14, but I think 13 is fine.

I'm new here, just joined in fact & am concerned that there are children underage here. I have two kids & wouldn't like them to be on here, even when they are 13 years old as I feel even 13 years is too young. (this is just my opinion) I feel we need to look out for our young ones as they are vulnerable & the internet can be a scary place full of weirdos' & dangerous people. Even some adults can be vulnerable. If the site is allowing children from 13 years old to join maybe there could be some process to confirm there age. As they are under adult supervision until there 18 years old. I would feel much better if social network sites said that an adult (parent or guardians)had to confirm there age & confirm there membership. So if there parents/guardians were not happy with them joining they couldn't. like i said I have 2 kids & both raised Wiccan but i wouldn't feel comfortable with them here when there 13 years old. As for the fluffys sadly there are quite a few people that are dulled & watch Twilight & think they can turn into vampire, it does my head in but what can we do? (many are adults who believe this rubbish) There are physic vampires but that's for a different post.
