Is it possible to meet my daughter who is on the Teen grid. Are there some place where there can be both teens and adaults.

Check out the "Information for Parents" page on the Teen SL web site:

http://teen.secondlife.com/parents

It sounds like there is no place where both teen and adult accounts can meet. As a parent of a teen grid user, you'll probably appreciate the logic behind that -- if there was such a place, your teen could meet with any adult, not just you.

The whole concept of having a Teen grid Isolated from the Adult was to ensure that never the Twain shall meet, Until the Teens are old enough to Switch to the adult grid.
I'm afraid you will have to Leave your Daughter to her Own Devices until she is Old enough toy Join the Main.

AR them. But are you sure they are RL kids, or are you just guessing?

I AR'ed a guy about it once, but only after he told me he was 14.

common area for teens and adaults
07-16-2007 04:07
Yes I think ists good not to mix teens an adaults. Maybe it would be possible ot have a part of the teen grid where you can visit them An area with still a lot of restrictions. Just a place where you can mmet. Chat. exchanges things, money for instance.

As long as the area is restricted like the Teen grid I dont think there would be so big risk. no adault activities.

But of course some risk it is. But as noticed there are a lot of suspicios teens on the normal grid already. And with an area like this you allow any adault to come there.

so I then have to go on tlaking to my daugther in RL :-)

Question.... pure out of interest. Why do wish to meet your daughter on SL? Out of your words I do understand she is a minor. She doesn't life with you maybe?

I would prefer without any doubt to meet my daughter in RL above SL. Which is not hard, even on a working day I see her at least at breakfast and after I come home from work.

According to Dan Linden -

there eventually will be parts of the grid that Adults and Teens can both go to.

He claims there are many ways to do it, and it will definitely happen.


Whether or not it happens in a timely enough fashion to allow the OP to visit her daughter in SL while shes still a teen is anyone's guess.

I sometimes meet my husband in SL. Most of the time he is sitting in the same room in RL when we meet in SL, he on his laptop, I on my PC. We may chat with others, or admire fun places, or I may show off my newest creations.

It has nothing to do with 'not preferring to meet in RL'. It has everything to do with sharing our lives. Sometimes we share our lives by eating together, sleeping together, going out together. And once in a while we share by going into parts of SL together.

That I would consider a good reason, but I wondered if there was maybe something more beyond.

My partner and I do meet in SL when I am some days away from home for my work (much better as MSN, where we chatted before).

Guess what I wanted to say, meeting in SL aside of RL is good. But it shouldn't be a subsitute.

But I could also think of other very valid reasons, maybe the OP is divorced and his daughter is living with his ex-wife... to mention something.

Yes on reason is that my daughter half of her time stays with her mother. The other reason is just the fun thing to do it. Maybe exchange money and gifts.

Hop Linden can arrange it in some secure way. I think with the restrictions ther is on Teen Grid i should be possible. But I also glad all that the restrictions are there. There is much to kinky things going on at SL :-)

I totally understand your frustration with this, as I know I will have this frustration in a few years.

I have two daughters, both living with me, ages 26 and 10.

The older one started SL the same day I did. We have a lot of fun in the same room in RL and exploring SL together. It made the trials and tribulations of learning this world MUCH easier having someone to learn it with. We have a lot of high quality mother-daughter time online - contrary to the media hype, there really is a LOT to do in SL that doesn't involve sex. We were already quite close, and it has brought us even closer.

My younger daughter really wants to be on the teen grid. We have allowed her to watch when we are in situations/places that are "safe" for her to see (we are rarely in situations that are otherwise), and she says frequently that she can't wait to turn 13 so she can join.

We have told her that we won't be able to actually do things with her when she joins the teen grid, and that makes all 3 of us sad. We will be able to teach her while sitting beside her in RL, but it would be so wonderful if we could guide her through by having her with our AVs.

I understand the need to keep adults off the teen grid, and teens off the adult grid, but I hope that by the time my youngest is able to join we will be able to do things together somehow.

I brought up this exact question with an SL Mentor on Help Island.
The Teen Grid and regular Grid are completely separated. We cannot send L$ or objects to AVs on in Teen SL. My daughter's AV's name shows up as one my of friends by default though.
Teens also cannot purchase items from the SL Boutique website.
My daughter was hoping I could buy an animated dragon pet for her.

Actually, there already are.

Adults who are certified to work with children can enter certain reserved areas of the TG. Plus, of course, adult Lindens with the same cert work there.

I have a 13 year old daughter in the Teen grid, and it would be nice to have a supervised area where the two can meet. Actually exchanging things is not an issue, I understand why that shouldn't be allowed.

But we like to do various games together and my daughter was very sad to learn, our avatars could never visit or spend any time together.

This did not happen with our accounts, though we had some issues and one of the Lindens got her account registered properly, so perhaps that is why we missed getting this?

Are you actually able to send her inworld IMs then, via the Friends List? Just no objects and no meeting?
