Is Createdebate a place for kids 13 and below?

 

I stumbled upon a image on my wall saying CreateDebate was a place for students to basically develop better

Debating skills. I agree, but many topics feel a bit too over the bar for kids to get involved.

 

So, do you find this site appropiate for kids to get involved in? Use the imagery of a 12 year old trying to

argue against a person well above their 20's.

Sure!

CD is a very low-intensity debating site. I would say it's the ideal starting point. I can understand the concern, some 13 year old simply aren't mature enough to offer any quality contribution. In this case, age is irrelevant. Mature people make for quality debates, regardless of age.

Side: Sure!

Yes. Just because someone is below the age of 13 does not mean they cannot debate. Sure, maybe they don't have as many facts as older people, but they can debate nonetheless. I'd say this site is for anyone over 10.

Side: Sure!

Plus, if they find Create Debate in the first place, the chances are that they were looking for a debate website, therefore leading to the natural assumption that they are intelligent enough to be apart of this in the first place. If they aren't into debating, or "smart enough" for it, then the chances are they won't even come across this website.

Side: Sure!

Well thought points but I have some points I wish to see if you can defeat. For one, the point of this situation is not to reflect upon a child's intelligence but if things are suitable for the child. I just came out of a debate where my opposition sling a couple of F-bombs. You don't want any kid who is intelligent to get influence by these kind of people (not saying those people are horrible people.) As well, many topics that speak upon the sexual aspect of things is not suitable for any adolescent.

As well, this website can have a heavy influence on a child's faith. Many debaters here are atheist and some have the ability to not only defy the existence of god to their opposition but even make their foe ponder the existence of god. A child's will is not equivalent to that of a over-odd teen or adult. Once a child gets influence by one of these guys, they may see the world in a whole new way and you don't want a kid to be effected by that till their parents approve.

I don't think so the reason is because my younger brother that is a 5th grader and someone who is a lot older than my brother come to dispute his argument and they use high vocabulary then he won't know what it means because he is not familiar with those's words.

I think people who are 14 years and older should come on here or if your younger and smart then you can come.

Side: Hell no!
