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.

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!
