I am a teenager and i've just started using this message boards. I think its fun b/c you can network with other people going through the same things as you are. You can share your emotions and get other people views and opinions on issues. When you post a question and someone replies, it's nice to know they care and sometimes their suggestions help. I'm also a big hypochondraic so if I have medical questions but dont want to see a Dr. All the time, I can always check out what other people have to say or thinkl. That's why I use these message boards.
So student at harvard...Wow!! Good luck.
