I think the reason they post so young is because most of them ARE young...maybe not twelve but I'd love to know the mean age over there, probably not much past legal drinking age.

Age and maturity often do not go together. Ever hear of "Adult Children"? They are grown up adults with an emotionally stunted defense system (number 1 being denial of course, blaming runs second and passive-aggression 3rd). Relying too much on "feelings" instead of "thinking", and prone to make global comparisons in their inability to deal with the small reality at hand.
