I remember being that age myself, and doctors and family members are generally unsupportive, tell them to stop worrying about something so 'silly'.
But the low self esteem they may be feeling is still there, and although I agree, I don't want this board to be full of teens, but we were once them and don't feel that we should turn our back on them, or worse, if they can't ask questions they could be in danger of starting PM, rather than being directed to massage, eat right and not smoke, etc.
I think a forum esp for them could be good, to keep them off boards for adult discussions, but in giving them a board, are we encouraging them to join?
I don't think we should encourage them to join, but have a bit of understanding. I was teased MERCILESSLY through high school for having the tiny boobs I still had at 32 years old. They started at 13, then just stopped. So wish someone had told me to massage, I may not be here now taking herbs.
