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". (...)

(...) Ryan, Just a point of clarification. By the term "tweener" I mean inbetween and it does not refer to someone that is a teenager.

(...) Actually, I don't think it's that difficult, per se, it's just that it's more work than it's worth. I'd rather not go through making permission slips for parents to fill out, etc., just to have a silly old meeting... to date the meetings have (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us)

(...) <soapbox> I'm going to jump on the use of "Young Adult" here since I am battling the use of the term "Young Adult" in church circles. The term "Young Adult" is used by sociology to refer to people aged 18-35. Since there are areas where it is (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.loc.us.me, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)
