To answer your question I guess I don't know how we would handle that type of situation mostly because it has not even been close to an issue (...)

| <snip> (...) Eric J, I agree with everything you have said here. I really want to keep this from having to be a "judgement call" of any kind. I also agree that to have <18 folks at the types of meetings we have had so far is probably not in the best (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

Eric, I don't want this to sound like arguing, because that's not what I want it to be, but what happens if you get, say, a 18 or 19yo who acts up and isn't on the maturity level that the group would like. How is it (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

|
| (...) The problem is this: While it's easy to say "only mature people above a certain age", in practice this becomes unworkable. Why? It requires looking the kid, or worse yet, their parent/guardian in the eye and saying "you aren't welcome here". (...)

And by inbetween I mean Young-Adult in this case or someone who is more mature than a kid and can handle (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| Eric, see my reply to David's message for more of my opinion on the topic. One thing though, the term "tween"(which I think is downright, gutwrenchingly sick) refers to those ages 8-12, so I don't think a 16yo would like being called a "tweener". (...)

| Well I am hopeing that this turns into a very constructive discussion on how we can cater to minors in our Local groups. I would be very interested in seeing what people have to say on the issue. I would also like to hear any experiances that people (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| I'd have to agree for the most part with what's been said-- I'd like to see NELUG cater to a wider audience... However, this is really where the purpose of NELUG gets called into question. If we want a bunch of us to get together and talk about Lego (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

| As an advisor of a church senior high youth group, I am definitely aware of the issues... Ryan raises a very good point though. One of the things that we AFOLs should bend over backwards is to create a support structure for teens so they do not have (...)
