Anonymous for "Teens and older member's" section?

I don't think there's any point... The forum isn't really meant to be about suicidal ideas and stuff, the whole point of the teen forum doesn't even exist considering HabboxForum is a teen community forum :/ The Teen Forum should be deleted or at least renamed "Growing Up" or have it so people get health tips and advice from the Health Tips & Advice forum, which all these suicidal and deeply personal discussions should technically be in :/

EDIT: Yep, the Teen Life forum should be renamed to Growing Up or Home Life, because everyone on Habbox Forum is a teenager, and all the discussions in that forum revolve around parents arguing, shaving and/or suicide/self-harm. Cut out the self-harm and suicide and you've got a Growing Up or Home Life forum...

Totally agree (I think we're finally getting some progress...), but if they don't choose to go down that root and continue to accommodate those sort of threads then the rules need to be stricter and the moderation stepped up. The situation cannot stay as it is IMO. Either cut them out and ban them sort of threads or increase the support for them.

Question: Is there anywhere on this forum or site a list of sites which give links with a small description of what the site can help with, aimed at teenagers, where they can get good sound advice about any type of problem? I've not seen one, but I think this would go some way to helping quite a few.

There was a link to TeenHelp, but it was removed quite recently.

In fact, it was removed three days ago

I have found this, but could do with some updating.

Nowadays a lot of Habbo-Forums are having to open up to a wider range of topics to suit the need of their users and to attract newer members too.

It's no good saying "Let them go to another forum" - We could say that about anything - About RuneScape, Musical Instruments, etc etc etc.

Although there may be other forums out there that specialize in things such as these; the whole advantage of having the feature at Habbox is that this forum is full of people in the same age range [Anything from 12 - 21]... Others can share their experiences and advice.

Someone said about TeenHelp or whatever - A lot of forums that are posted on here are new and upcoming teen forums, meaning that you're not going to get as much advice as you would here.

The difference between posting anonymously here and posting on a professionally based forum is that if you post on a professionally based forum - there are going to be hundreds of teens just like yourself wanting help. Meaning you're not going to get the full attention that you feel the issue deserves

Indeed, and if the threads are moved to Health Tips & Advice (which it should be), all you need to do is step up tge moderation team, which desperately needs a stronger force...

I think this is a brilliant idea.
It's probably one of the best suggestions I've read in a long time and hope to God managemment see sense and add this.

Wahey people agree.
