Has anyone else noticed that questions are the same? I mean I love this site, but latly i've been getting bored because every question is the same!! It bothers me. Like 13 year olds talking about boyfriends, friends, and sex. It's like how difficult is your life at 13?! Anyone else feel the same? ANd how can i make this site more interesting for me?
hotpotato answered Wednesday January 14 2009, 8:40 pm: There are some good questions here. You just need to weed out all the repetitive ones. You can go over to Yahoo! Answers which is huge and has way more variety. I think something should be done about the same questions. There should be a blog or something that answers these questions and people should search there for an answer first before asking anything. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]
BahaiMa22 answered Monday January 12 2009, 7:03 pm: Hmm,
I'm a little two sided on this one, It's crossed my mind why do so many young people ask the same questions over and over again. I can see your point certainly. However, I just kind of tell myself that the older folks on Advicenators have more answers and they have more knowledge to certain things than the younger ones. I'm sure when you were 13 you asked some of the questions also. Yes, I agree 13 is a little young to be having sex, boyfriends, etc but thats life and it's not going to change. If you are tired from this site maybe you should take a break? [ BahaiMa22's advice column | Ask BahaiMa22 A Question ]
karenR answered Monday January 12 2009, 12:48 pm: Teens have been asking the same questions
here forever. Its whats important to them.
While it sometimes drives those of us who
have already been there and done that bonkers,
there are always others of the same age, new
to the site, going through the same things,
who are more than willing to answer those
questions.
L1 moderators who go to the forum will
find a thread filled with links of more complicated
and different real problem
questions. Unfortunatley, though people
complain about the questions on the site,
it hasn't helped a lot in getting them tons
of answers.Why? Because most young teens
don't have the life experience to answer
anything more complicated than the questions
your talking about :)
Thats not a bad thing, just a fact.
If you want to make the site more
interesting for yourself, ask good
questions and give good answers. By
good I mean honesty without rudeness.
Not butt kissing I want a good rating
answers. The site is bout helping
others, regardless of question subject. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Seriously09 answered Monday January 12 2009, 8:12 am: Well if you really get tired of this site maybe you should just change you catagory and move on toll the other talk and take some time away from all the sex talks and things like that, thats just my opinion but you are right you're only 13 you already being talked to about sex and everything.

theymos answered Monday January 12 2009, 2:38 am: Those questions get the most answers. Most Advicenators users like those questions, even if they have been asked 1000 times.
SilentOne answered Monday January 12 2009, 1:33 am: Uh well yeah. Actually I've seen the same question you just asked somewhere before. Probably got deleted because people ask it all the time.
The lives of 13 year olds can be quite complicated. Outside of those with real family and situational instability problems, they are figuring out their sexual maturity, identity, dealing with major shifts in schools, and to top all of those things, they're not as mature as older people, and have more trouble dealing with it. I'll admit that there are a lot of idiots who ask questions without thinking about it for themselves. But seriously, do you care?
If your real question is: "How can I make this site more interesting for me?" you're missing the point. Nobody forces you to read all of the garbage questions. I look at the question about the guy who wants to "lengthen his cork", smile, shake my head, and consider telling him "pull it out of the bottle and chew on it", or "Just buy a bigger cork!", but knowing he's probably stupid enough to rate me a 2 just for being sarcastic about it, I don't answer.
Advicenators is about either asking questions about serious things you don't know how to answer yourself or finding, reading, and answering questions written by others. The site is not an entertainment channel about interesting YOU. If you can't find any questions on here that "Interest" you to answer them, I suggest YouTube, or some other entertainment enterprise.
WhitneyJ answered Monday January 12 2009, 1:01 am: i agree with the both of you.
i understand the whole "13 year old" thing.
i wasn't having sex at thirteen and i certainly think it's crazy that they are the ones asking for advice.
it's also crazy to say you're like 12 and in love.
maybe you like someone, but not love.
you can't even drive or go out together.
so how is that dating?? [ WhitneyJ's advice column | Ask WhitneyJ A Question ]
SweetGuyBrokenHeart answered Sunday January 11 2009, 11:28 pm: Ive been thinking the same exact thing, it kinda sucks. I have absolutly no clue how to make this more interesting for anyone. All ive ever done on here is basiclly help 13 year olds with sex lives hahaha, its sad. [ SweetGuyBrokenHeart's advice column | Ask SweetGuyBrokenHeart A Question ]
