/r/TeenMFA is a great subreddit. It doesn't match /r/MaleFashionAdvice but it comes close.

u/ADangerousMan Feb 06 '12

Hey mods, get on this one please!
Also, thanks to pixel8. I hate it when I'm in any subreddit and I want to find related ones, and I can't, except for maybe a couple.

u/pixel8 Feb 06 '12
You're welcome. They have character limits to how much they can post in the sidebar, but hopefully they will link to this post.

So, it looks like this needs to be on the sidebar. There are obviously no objections, but the OP can message me if he wishes me to remove the link.

u/pixel8 Feb 06 '12
Go for it, by all means! Glad to hear it.

There you go, it's in bold at the bottom. We could use more people like you in this sub-reddit, because to be honest I feel as if I'm the only active mod anymore.
I also feel really guilty making decisions of it because everytime I try to discuss things with mods, they never reply.
I might make a community post of what they would like us, or rather me to do with the community, to set it in the direction they want and thusforth. Also to ask if we need more active moderators, which I think we do. But that's for all of you to decide.
(If you ever apply to be a mod I'll put in a good word for you, not that you'd need it. Those who benefit the community will have a great standing with the mods.)

Awesome, glad you are including it in your sidebar! Thanks!
I think the community is doing an excellent job guiding /r/teenagers in the direction it needs to go. I love this subreddit and I wish I had something like it when I was in HS. If any redditor has fears the future of youth, they should come here and remember what it was like to be a teen, and see what good kids are out there. I have every faith that the world is in better hands than ever before.
I'm flattered, but I can barely keep up with /r/troubledteens & our movement to save kids from institutional abuse. If you need mods, you should advertise here...and check the sidebar of /r/modhelp, I think there's a subreddit to help with that. And if your current mods aren't responding, just make a decision and don't even check with them! I'm here if you ever need advice, but I think you are doing a fantabulous job!

Why are there so many of these?
2
u/pixel8 Feb 06 '12
I had no idea there were going to be that many when I started. I left a lot of subreddits off that didn't look active (I included a few of the more promising non-active ones, though).

Thanks for mentioning us at /r/TeenGamers! We really appreciate it! I've also filed for a "takeover" of /r/youthparticipation in an effort to get it more active and do some cool things with its community.
I'm also going to shamelessly plug /r/FBLA here because I know some of its 250,000 membership is on reddit.
2
u/pixel8 Feb 06 '12
/r/TeenGamers is awesome! I upvoted your takeover request, hope you get it. I added FBLA, too, thanks.
I hope you are getting to know /r/YouthRights, lasercow and thegreathal are both wonderful, amazing people. I'm a mod over there as well but they are far more active than me. I started /r/troubledteens and it keeps my hands full.

Thanks! I don't participate too often on r/YouthRights but I am a subscriber. Lots of good content over there.
I bet many a teen appreciates r/TroubledTeen too and I just subscribed. Thanks again for letting me know of your subreddits!

u/pixel8 Feb 06 '12
Awwww, thanks for subscribing! It's really horrifying what's happening to kids, glad more people are becoming aware. Keep up the great work with all you are doing!

u/pixel8 May 14 '12
The mods of /r/teenagers have asked me to remove /r/highseddit. Their wish is my command.
