If you are asking a place online that equates to in-person discussions, I would say there isn't any. As I told my kid when I showed him mosaic, the screen is not a human. Humans have kindness and compassion. The screen is to get things. To some it is a way to make a living. The screen can never be generous; that is learned at the home. Ann Landers and Dear Abby. Ever hear of them? Newspaper columnists who answered readers questions. I always asked, " Why would anybody seek help or advice from a newspaper person? " Plus, you have never met them. Why would I seek advice or opinion from a person I never met? Google any ailment and the results are astounding. Ask your mom or dad if it is something to worry about and you are likely to get a trusted answer

The screen can never be generous; that is learned at the home. I really like this, thank you for sharing. As for getting advice on the Internet - there are many quandaries about which one might rather ask the Internet than a person they've met for a variety of reasons. * They don't know anyone with expertise in $THING * You want a more objective opinion (who better than someone you don't know?) * Asking someone they know is likely to create bad consequences (makes them worry! makes them judge you! makes them retaliate! makes them jump to a crazy conclusion and attack someone else! makes them report you to $AGENCY)

There is however a human behind the screen, however distant or difficult to see. > Why would I seek advice or opinion from a person I never met? Asking your peers and parents may be used against you forever. People you won't meet unless you really want to won't, so you can be more honest there.
