Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

When my cousin was 16 he once drank like 9 energy drinks in a row then threw up and punched a hole in the wall. He was grounded for a week after that. He did it just because he thought it'd be funny. It's been about 15 years since then and I can't say I think he learned a lesson from that.

I'm sure there are some responsible 16 year olds, but I definitely wouldn't trust the judgement of all of them.
