Why is it advice what difference does it make?
I think the fact is, Katie, that however mature you may be, this is still a site containing conversations and content of an adult nature. None of us adults would want to be accused of anything that could be construed as inappropriate behaviour with a minor. So it's really as much for the "grown ups" protection as yours. I'm sure Aaron will correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my interpretation of why the advice exists. If one of your parents (or an adult who is responsible for you) is aware that you are a member of the site and has no objections, then it just makes things a little more comfortable for everyone. It's really nothing personal, I think.
