[Outdated] Aging up as a teen!
Hey there teen community!
Are you a teen member turning 18 up anytime soon?
No worries! Turning 18 can be a scary age for some, youre aging up, and is a young adult now, how do you feel about that? On 7 Cups, when it comes to aging up, there are some things that do happen when you switch over to the adult side once turning 18.
For starters, your account switches over on the day of your birthday and youll be on the adult side quick and simple. Its sad not seeing your friends, not having regular people you speak with and I understand how that can be annoying. However, just because you might not see them in the rooms (until they themselves have turn 18), doesnt mean you wont see them again!
What happens to all my teen friends?
You can still interact with them on the feed, sometimes if you have teen listeners, if they are kept in your pm list you can still speak to them and theres always the lovely forums which are filled with lots of places to speak with them! If you find that they are not in your pms list, then you can go into Path then My progress and click on the envelope icon beside their name.
What will I see when I age up?
Youll see lots of member chat rooms than on the teen side, youll also be seeing listeners who are over 18 if you are searching for listeners on the browse listener page as well as adult-teen listeners.
Is there anyone that can help me with transitioning over?
Of course! We have an adult-teen buddy project created by @Holly29 where you can reach out to an adult-teen listener and they can help you out in any way, whether its going in the rooms, explaining how the adult side is, etc. However, its currently being revamped but we will let you know when its back up and ready.
Members: We have an exciting new project called the Aging Up Hotel to help you transition into the adult community. Check out this post for more info!
Its all new when switching over but there are some things that still stay the same! You're not alone in this. If you have any questions when it comes to aging up, you are more than welcome to ask in this thread or PM me!
@Kate @Laura
@Yendi Thanks for this post! Super important and helpful info
@Yendi
Thank you for this post yendi <3
@Yendi
wish I knew those when I was transferred
@Yendi This is super helpful knowing that it can be daunting to be in a new environment you know nothing about!
Thanks so much for this yendi! I age up in a few months so this is very helpful!
@Yendi My birthday was in november and I'm already 18 now, but I'm still in the teen zone. I suspect the switch to adult zone will start from December 1st?
@DepressedPanda4893 Hey! I'll PM you now to fix this.
@Kate can you help me? it is telling me i need to get ready to go to the adult side but rn i am 16. idk if i entered something wrong when i made the account
@LEAHOK You must've mistakenly registered a wrong birth year. Please try to email community@7cups.com with your 2 social media handles or a valid ID and of course include your real birthdate so it can be corrected. Or message @Kate directly if it's urgent as she's the teen community manager.
@Yendi Hi I'm already 18 but this shows me in teen group. How can i change that?
@Happinesspopsin
Hi there!
Apologizes on the late reply to your comment. Does it show you in the adult chatrooms/side? If not, you can send @Kate a pm or email at kate@7cups.com letting them know of your correct birth date, since it could've been an error with putting in the year.
All the best!
@Yendi i just turned 18
@helloScarf7853
Hi there!
Happy belated birthday! I saw that you are still on the teen side (I checked your profile page) and since you'are 18, it's supposed to be on the adult side. What you can do is email kate@7cups.com about it, including your username and birthday, so it can be looked into and be on the right side. If you wish, you can send me a message with any concern/queries about the adult side that I can try to help you out with.
All the best!
@Yendi I'm actually pretty nervous going to the adult side.....that's making my anxity go through the roof.......
@Sabrina2214
Hey there Sabrina! I do apologize on seeing this so late. I know how the adult side can be scary, new faces and rooms but you won't be alone! There's plenty of people that will welcome you and you can always reach out to adult listeners or adult-teen listeners. My pm's are open if you would like to drop in and I can help out in any way, to lessen the anxious feeling. 💜
