🌞Seventeen To Eighteen? Read on!
Many people may not be aware that here at 7 Cups we are divided into two parts. This is so we can keep all of our teens as safe as possible.
Everyone 18 or over is on the ‘adult side’ which is fondly called the ‘oldie side’.
And the ‘teen side’ which is populated with teens:-
Teen members aged 13-17
Teen listeners aged 15-17
And also with adults called ‘ATL’ (adult - teen listeners) who are aged 18 + but who have been approved by the admin team to listen to teens. They will have the ATL badge by their name in the rooms and on their profiles. You can read more about them further down this post.
As you know 7 Cups reaches world-wide! As such different cultures can have different terminology about when a person reaches adulthood, for 7 Cups this is on the 18th birthday! It might be called ‘transitioning’ from teen to adult, or it might be ‘aging-up’, or it could just be the beginning of adulthood. For some, reaching twenty-one is a more auspicious age when they reach adult status!
Did you know that we have a special team of listeners called Teen Transition Mentors? These are a team of listeners that specialize in supporting teens during the time when they approach their 18th birthday and after. We can offer support in the form of information about what changes to expect, or perhaps by helping guide you through the adult side.

@MistyMagic I am happy to be tagged. I hope I can be of assistance to any teens that are transitioning or have already.
Thanks Misty for this thread.
@MistyMagic
Thank you for writing this, 🥰 Misty. I actually might borrow some of this text to get included in the Help Center for the project I've got going, if that's okay with you.
@Heather225 Thanks, of course! Let me know if I can help too. 
@MistyMagic great thread - lots of great info.
One note that I hear from some teens they affectionately call it the teenie side.
@soulsings Yessss Teenie and Oldie!
Thank you for sharing 💗
