There’s a legal side to it and also a conceptually suited side. The former will depend on jurisdiction. For example, in the USA children under 13 seem to need parental consent, (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act), so the age group you are dealing with here would not fit well with forums in general (this will depend on each country’s legislation).

Nowadays internet is available to all. And even parents allow kids to explore internet. Platform's like Bitcoin talk are informative platform and no parent would deny their kid from learning upcoming technology. On the other hand even if parents does not allow, the platform just need Email for signup. A kid can use its parent email id, with or without their permission as there is no email verification set.

How to track all of that. My call is knowledge is open for all. It is all about how you use it.

Conceptually, kids with those ages normally lack depth in their expressiveness, and they are likely to come-off here stereotyped as Newbie pajeets than as kids trying to learn. For their sake, I would not recommend mentioning the forum other than by it’s historical context and relation to crypto (i.e. I would not hint them to create an account here).

Top advice - never thought about parental consent !!
Yep- the last thing anyone wants is to have genuinely interested younger people been slated on here for being naive etc
Thanks @DdmrDdmr

Thanks for the feedback @Upgrade00 , these are kind of my thoughts too . It’s a large grey area and certainly it’s hard to group individuals by age etc . Hopefully it’s a case , where if a younger person takes an interest , they’ll see past a lot of the nonsense.

Kids of all ages are on different social networks these days, and this exposes them to the harshness of the internet. If they have the ability to handle that, then they can survive here on bitcointalk. But this varies from individual to individual, so it may be a good idea to include parental guidance for those below the ages of 16.

Some adults (18+) also find it difficult to cope with the forum. It's all down to the individual's cognitive ability. If a kid shows the potential to grow, he or she shouldn't be restricted as a result of their age.

Cutting a long story short , I’ve been asked to do a short talk at my children’s school about Bitcoin. Their IT teacher is very progressive and gets the children involved in a lot of IT projects, like coding and cyber security and one of my kids mentioned Bitcoin and I’ve been asked to do a presentation.
It will be a 10-15 min very informal intro. into Bitcoin with the emphasis at the end to explore the Bitcoin world by themselves and I will recommend reading material and certain websites .
The age group will be 12-13 yr olds.
My query is whether to mention this forum?
Currently I’m thinking not to mention the forum , but if they find it , then so be it .
My thoughts are that the forum would be more suited to 16 + because of these factors
- scams
- trolling
- bad language
- gambling
I’m sure there are or have been many members under 16 and if possible I’d like a bit of feedback . TIA
This is placed in Beginners and Help , possibly Meta may have been better , but I really want some constructive replies please
