Please ask Mumsnet not to move us!

[Luckything50]

Please see the message about moving and merging Parenting threads and give your opinion. I hope most of you would agree that we need a separate section dedicated to teens.

[Sparklingbrook]

YY please leave it!

[MrsFogi]

Agreed - teenagers should remain a separate topic. I'm not going to bother to wade through threads on the early years to pick out the ones about teenagers. Totally different!!!

[BillywigSting]

I don't have a teenager but even I can see that parenting a five year old and parenting a fifteen yearsm old are both going to bring very different challenges.

Merging seems like a spectacularly stupid move imo.

[SpoonBlender]

Yeah - Teenagers particularly needs to be kept, I think it's the only place I ever point people to*. Shouldn't this be in Site Stuff though? Ask for it to be moved and read :D

*apart from Site Stuff, apparently!

[Iwantacookie]

Yes please leave it alone.

[Windygate]

Leave it alone. Teens and toddlers are very different

[JasperTheFriendlyGhost]

noooooooooooo leave it be!!

[Crunched]

It is a necessary board in my opinion.

[RaptorInaPorkPieHat]

God yes, please leave it as a separate board!

[llangennith]

Definitely need a separate teenagers section!

[QueenofWhatever]

Agreed!

[Wolfcubisthefemalenominal]

Please leave it, separate issues and concerns some of which are sensitive and open to a certain amount of judgeyness from those who aren’t dealing with teen and pre-teen issues

[practicallyperfectwithprosecco]

Parenting a teen is way more traumatic than a toddler definitely needs it's own board!!

[Boffing]

Why on earth? There are so many bizzare topics that noone uses, why merge the most important ones?

[weegiemum]

Please keep teenagers separate! I've got 3 and it's incredibly helpful!!

[ScreamingValenta]

Even as someone without children and with little knowledge of the stages they go through, I can see that teenagers and toddlers are completely different!

[Ticklingcheese]

Please don't, teen posts will drown in that section. Not to mention the judgement/fear of judgement from posters, who haven't got to this point in life yet.

[LynetteScavo]

It seems like a crazy idea!

I don't post much in Teens, but I do read it quite a bit!

I hate that when parents of Teens post in parenting they get replies from parents of toddlers who just don't get what it's like to parent a teenager.

[KickBishopBrennanUpTheArse]

Terrible idea. This board was my go-to when dd first entered the teens. Even if I didn't always post I'd browse and reassure myself. Posts would get lost on the general parenting board.

[DoNotBlameMeIVotedRemain]

Please keep the teen board. We really need something separate. The advice is more valuable if most posters have experience with this age group.

[danicohn]

Hear hear!

[Oblomov19]

Think this is a very very bad idea. What is the logic/reasoning please. I've been on MN for 16 years and I've gone through different sections regarding help for Ds1 and Ds2 and I have been using the teenage section a lot in the last few years and it is different to other parenting needs and it works well as it is.

[rotrue]

Definitely loads of shit advice from people who have yet to parent teens - it's really frustrating and not at all supportive..this forum needs to be separate.

[errorofjudgement]

Please leave teenagers alone! Until you have one you really can’t comment on how to parent them

[Northernmum100]

Please keep as a separate category, it's a great source of support and info
