The antithesis to the Grey Room, the Spring Chickens Thread is open only to members 25 and under. When a member turns 26, he or she can no longer post in the thread, but who cares, you're essentially dead anyway. Posting here is just one of many symbols of your fading existence. As the GR attempted to answer questions plaguing the nearly dead, so shall we focus on the issues of youth. Can life get any better? How great is it that our joints don't hurt? How funny is it when old people try to use computers? Prostate exam, what's that? What day do you wanna have a party, cause I'm always free. How are your parents wrecking your life? What am I going to eat? Oh yeah, whatever I want cause I don't have to worry about cholesterol. 
I laugh now, but it's gonna suck when I wake up tomorrow and someone's blocked my IP address.
Edit: The SCT has been renamed the Crimson Room. Leave whimsy at the door as we explore the crippling pain of our brief existences. Drape a dark cloth over the windows and pour out your soul into bad poetry as you consantly resist the urge to end it all. Remember, when cutting wrists, go down the river, not across the bridge.

The VR is for everyone I believe. I think the GR originally came from an overabundance of youth in the VR but I'd say it's about equal.
My life can't get any worse either, but these are supposed to be the best years of our lives. More's the pity.

What a gross simplification of teenagers. I have simple shoes and like small amounts of hip hop.

ADD? I never had real ADD. I tend to blame that on my personality's numbness. Sometimes I just don't want to listen to anyone and dive in my private world. Good musical technique too. I can't imagine a single moment when any kind of music or hum doesn't go through my head. Sometimes, I can get lost in music, I forgot about anything else.

First serious iscussion. Do we have it easier now than older members had it when they were kids. I say overall no. Technology makes things faster, but there is WAY more pressure on us for academic, athletic, financial, etc. success and teen suiceds are much higher than they were only a few decades ago.

I'm sorry, but you've outgrown the anxiety and depression of youth and you've reached the much more crushing depression of the real world. Perhaps if you display a youthful edge, you can stay, since Papa Jody is here based on his love of Star Wars (and his threats to lock us)

The Moody N00bs thread was pretty much a thread of anxiety created by more entertaining members like the Whistler, praise in folly, Australian and so, in order to create a band, with music and lyrics. Not sure what happened in all the rest of their already 120 pages. -------------

God, I get bored very easily; and, sometimes, that's a bad think to do. About working, I'm even worse. Sure, being an artist saves me from going and burning my hands at KFC for a dollar, but I'm still way far from my friends and colleagues who do some stuff during the summer. -------------
