Well I do most of the time, But I have a thing about kids, I don't want them in Grow-ups discussions. This one kid keeps wanting me to be his friend, I denied him, then hecomes back after I deny him. He doens't want to take no for an answer. He is 17, I always deny Kids, is that wrong? I don't think so. what do you do?

With all the scams, the cut and paste thefts here I question everyone that wants to become my friends these days, I always read their discussions to see what they are responding to and if I don't recognize their name I will always look to see if they have answered any of my discussions, for awhile there I had so many friends on my friend's list with no responding to my discussions and the discussions they started did not interest me so these days I try to be more selective in my friends and what kind of discussions I will respond to.

I do not accept everyone who requests to be my friend. I have my own reasons for approving or denying and it is my choice. Age alone is not a defining factor for me. I have friends from young to old,. It depends of the type of discussions they have posted and responses they have given.

I am sure everyone has there reasons. But what I said I do have a choice in these matters. I think this discussion cost me 30 cents -

How in the world could it possibly cost you that amount? If this discussion got deleted it would cost you and everyone else who responded 1 cent.

No not always I have denied one.And after accepting some I have deleted them because of somereason or another. Maybe he just likes your conversations and he wants them in his list of discussions that my friends started. So he can respond to your discussions.

It would actually be more simple to and less annoying probably. And now days most 17 year olds know twice as much as me at that age. So add him then if he gets to annoying then you can always delete this person. otherwise he will continue to bug you.

I keep denying the 17 yr. old. he won't take no for an answer, this is the third time I denied him. shall I just except him? he wants me to be his friend bad. I think after 3 times, I wounld't ask anymore.

I always look at the profile first before I decide to accept or deny a request. I look to see what discussions they have posted, and their responses too. I always check their age and location as well, as there are an awful lot of kids here.

I know that, and I don't want to have kids as my friends so that is my choice, right?

So far I'm accepting everyone except for obvious spammers.. I often wonder why some kids want to be my friends but it's OK as I don't post adult discussions and I can talk to anyone and participate in any kind of discussions, usually their discussions are not stupid as someone might expect and it's ok for me to respond to them as they talk about common things. As mylot is not really a social network like "myspace" and people on your list are not necessarily good friends and you don't have to exchange personal messages, etc I think it's ok to accept everyone but I would delete anyone who I feel uncomfortable with their topics or responses..

So far, I accept all of them. And i always look at their profile first, before went to accept or deny them. I don't really bothered about age, nation or gender. I love them all being my friend. I mean if they choose you as friend, they must be already think about it first. Or maybe they even look at your profile. But it's truely depend to you. If you felt you don't want it, don't push yourself to accept it.

Hey, I take all my friends on and I dont care much about their ages .Ofcourse if i know some are minors i try to engage them in approrpate discussions, I dont just get involved with them on adult topics, unless it is on reproductive health which they have an entitlement! I imagine turning down ths 17 year old so consistently the way you have done could have hurt his feelings, i think you lose nothing taking him on because you can never tell how positive your friendship could be to him/her! Go ahead and take him on!

I have approved everyone that has requested to be my friend. I do check their profile just to get an idea about them. There is no right or wrong, about whether you approve or deny someone for your friends list. Its a personel thing. It is entirely up to you, if you deny them because they are kids, thats fine too. I think it would be great if we had an all adult site and the kids had there own site. There is sometimes that we might want to speak about adult stuff, but we don't because kids are on here too. We might want to talk dirty, haha.

That is right vicky. I just don't like to socialize with kids on here. but then again you really don't know who are kids, I knew he was because when I went to his profile it said 17 yrs. old. Nothing in common.

Its just a matter of preference and there is nothing wrong with the way you do it. I accept everyone and I have only deleted one person and that was because he sent me this really creepy message.

Sure I do. I don't care about age. I don't do anything that is something for someone capable of participating in Mylot can handle. I like to learn from everyone and the young ones will be taking charge of everything soon and we need to know how they tick. The delete button is too handy for anyone that becomes a problem. Good luck to you.

I do not except each request from mylot friends side. First I see avatar. If avatar is without picture, then simply deny, whoever may be. Second thing I see name and quality of subject of such requesting friend. By this way we can know about the personality. Age is not problem for me to make anyone friend. Sometimes teenagers are also good friend. With the increase in age the people become cleaver so teenagers are good friend than matured one, I think.

For the most part, I accept everyone and anyone. I don't care how old or where they are from. One thing I do though is check their profile and read through their started discussions. Just to get the general idea of what kind of person I am dealing with. Even then though, I will probably accept them, everyone deserves atleast one chance. :)

I do most of the time too, especially if the other person shares some common ground or just has some very interesting and exciting discussions going on at their page. I was surfing through Cleveland members and found you (and besides the fantastic color of your neat car) I found you very interesting. Denying friendship of kids is not wrong unless they see you as a 'mentor-of-sorts' and either know you or are related then it probably wouldn't hurt to add them as friends, but cautious is wise. If the 17 y/o continues to be a 'problem', report it. sharing the light, Erica Welcome to my world . . . http://www.enlightenment-psych.net

Yeah i always accept all friends from Mylot, I will never look for their age, their nation, they are all just the same for me. Actually it is depend on you, you want to accept or deny the friends request. I think there is no wrong with. it is your right to accept or deny a friend request.
