Hello all,

I posted to Scott the other day that I feel like there should be a young adults section on here. I feel that at 19 I am too old to be discussing some things in this forum with others as young as 13 and 14. I feel like there are issues that could be raised in a young adult crowd related to college life and what not that deserves a specific forum. There are no other age related forums and most of the things posted in the teenage forum are not very helpful to me anymore and I don't feel that I am getting my questions out to the right population. If you agree, please reply to this thread so that Scott sees that there is interest. Thanks!

I agree, and I think it may be the other way around as well. The younger teens might want their own section, but I think that there are a lot of college-aged people who would like their own forum.

I can see a clear point for it. Your living situation is very related to your celiac status. While teens still live with their parents, and older people live with their children, post-highchool most people move in with non-relatives around their own age. The work, home, medical, and/or school issues are different for this age group. For example, we often don't have health insurance, being in a time between parents and a career. The social situations are a much more high-pressure deal to teens and older adults, but younger adults may also eat out more than either group, and have tighter budget restrictions for groceries.
