MeFi/AskMe for Teens

Are there any good-quality "MeFi" or "AskMe" or even general net-community sites for teenagers?, he asks, hoping that asking several questions in the space of a week isn't considered overuse of AskMe.

Or, rather, where are the good-quality teen sites?

Fark... which I consider to be the immature version of Metafilter. Perfect for teens.

clumsy english? whatever dude. I think it's pretty easy to read.
Sort of on topic, isn't there an unwritten guideline that says only 1 question a week? that being said, I don't find and problems with 2-3 questions a week, if they're good. you could also ask someone else to post for you

Response by poster: Well, that's part of my hope. I made sure that sleep apnea was going to be something affecting a large enough part of the population to likely prove interesting. My live rock question was just asinine stupidity on my part, and I'm forever sorry I gapped out.
Anyway, back to teens.

Well, ages ago when I was a teen and anything could get dot-com funding, I met some interesting people through www.bolt.com ... however, I'm not sure if that site exists any longer, and when I went to check it, I got a MS SQL error.

Are you looking for moderated sites here, or just sites which appeal to teenagers?

Response by poster: Either. Just sites that are (a) more or less "safe", as in they're not going to be flooded with porn or drug talk; (b) interesting enough to be worth seeing; (c) hopefully with some chance of having a "community" like we have here.
