Question Question for Young People/Moderators

I don't know if this has been considered before, so I'm going to throw it out there.

There are a significant number of young people coming to this forum with concerns about substance abuse. While there are similarities with all addicts, there are also issues/circumstances/concerns that are unique to groups. Thus we have forums for substance abusers, women, men, etc.

I've noticed that there are a considerable number of younger people with concerns about addiction and I wonder if it would be beneficial to set up a forum for people, say, 30 or 25 years or younger. They are still in the early phases of addiction. They may be at higher risk of suicide or overdose. They also share common pressures of youth/young adulthood.

A Young Forum might give a place for people to connect with others sharing in experience with more similarities and points of view, with us older members popping in to lend the voices of experience.

Thoughts anyone?
