ok anyone who needs a friend u can always email me. my email is in my profile. Thanks for posting your site...I am sure there are alot of young people and teens with Arthritis that will find it helpful....and you are always welcome here too! I think we have quite a range of ages here...but not many teens and no kiddos...I think a site for teens is a great idea. I've worked with high school students for years and as a special ed teacher many in my caseload have severe physical problems like JRA , cancer, fragile bone syndrome. It's so hard to be trying to be one of the gang when you're dealing with a serious illness. Many of my ill students won't let other students know they have a problem. With your site they will have a place to vent. Feel free to come here too. We oldsters have been through the ropes.Does sound like a wonderful idea. Problems are always easier when you share them!!! If RA is hard on adults, it's worse on high school & college students. BTW - there are people here who have been through it all, so don't hesitate to post questions.
