why is there no sub-community for 18 and 19 year olds???
why is there no sub-community which includes 18 and 19 year olds in the peer group section?? aged up members don't have access to teen-only zone and there is only a 20+ community.
after aging up it was hard no amount of teen transition mentoring can help...they can't just make friends for you on the adult side. I used to love group chats in the teenside but i am not even participating now. for me even the member community looks scary, and even if we request mod through request form..by the time they come it is usually late(coz it's just email notification).
currently i only have 1 listener friend here who is an ATL. now i am not asking to be my friend for pity.
i just to feel a part of 7cups on adult side...like teenside that's all. i doubt anyone will see it anyways.
thanks for reading, have a good day.
@neatturtle9621 None of the adult age groupings are exclusive, so if there's something of interest in 50+ you are welcome to post there. We just ask that people be respectful of the intended purpose. For the rooms, the 35+ and 50+ chatrooms are both welcoming to younger adults too. There are often discussions that adults of all ages are interested in.
So you are very free to post in the 20+ community! I can understand how after aging up though it can feel exclusionary going from TOZ to not really seeing a specific age category. If you (or anyone) posts in the 20+ area and are given any grief for being 18 or 19 please flag that.
There is also an aging up community, I'm not sure if you saw it. https://www.7cups.com/forum/agingup/ If when you filter by topics you feel like there's something missing that would make you feel more connected to others please share your suggestions!
Also I wanted to share this post for the Aging Up Community - it is mean to be more than just connecting with a transition mentor https://www.7cups.com/forum/agingup/WelcomeIcebreakersCheckins_2544/AnnouncingAnewcommunityforAgingupTeens_304907/
I hope that helps!

Hey, apologies for necroposting/off-topic posting in this thread. 🙏 Just wanted to reach out since I saw from my notifications that you replied to me in another thread but:
- I can only see the first few words of your response since the thread got deleted before I could open your post
- I can't initiate PMs with you due to your privacy settings
- I didn't want to presume that you'd react positively to me unilaterally creating a PenPal thread out of nowhere 😊
I'm interested in messaging back-and-forth if you wanted to continue any discussion that was happening in that thread, or if you're looking for listeners in general.
