Aging Up Support Request - We are here for you!
Hi Teen Land! I hope you all have been doing well. A few days ago we relaunched our teen transitioning mentor role to have a group dedicated mentors that will support our teens through the period of transition. A big part of the teen transitioning mentor role will be supporting the teens through the Aging Up Support Request system.
Here is how it works!
☆ If you are a teen who is aging up within a year or less and you need support with the transition period, you can submit this form. The form takes less than 5 mins to fill and allows us to get the information we need to be of support to you.
☆ The form can also be used to request support on behalf of a fellow listener or member who you feel needs support. This is a way for us to work together and ensure all teens feel supported during this transition period.
☆ One the form is submitted, you/they will be contacted within 3 days by a teen transitioning mentor. The mentor will work with you to ensure you are ready for the transition along with answering any questions you may have.
☆The Transitioning Mentor Request form is used for the purpose of preparing for the transition and being supported through the transition that happens when a teen account moves to the adult side on a user's 18th birthday. If you wish to receive support in matters relating to turning 18 in regards to anything outside of 7 Cups, as well as support with any personal matters, please reach out to a listener from your member account. You deserve support through the transition ahead, and there are many listeners with experience here to support you during this transition.
In order to ensure that we are focusing on those who are active and aging up soon we request you to follow the following guidelines when submitting a support request:
☆ You are eligible to request transitioning support when you are aging up within a year or less. Of course, you can reach out to the Transitioning Mentors even before via PM to ask any questions you may have but the form is for those who are aging up soon.
☆ If you do not respond to our mentor within 3 days your request will be closed. You can make another request when you are ready for support.
Also, all are invited to visit group support chatrooms: www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php and Teen Only Zone Community: www.7cups.com/home/teens

Hi! When I become an adult listener, will my reviews still be there that I got from being a teen listener?
@PrettyPapillon4354 to the best of my knowledge our ratings and reviews remain.
@soulsings Great, thanks! ❤😊
Can someone please PM me application to be a adult teen listener?
@FlamboyantGrapes I messaged you with this link Apply to be an Adult Teen Listener Here! (Updated) all the best.

@FlamboyantGrapes my name is soulsings. I am a Transition Teen Mentor. Please feel free to PM me if you have questions.
Is there a way to check what your birthday is set to? I turned 18 a few days ago but it is still telling me that my birthday is coming up soon. Any suggestions?
@Soccermaya1010 send a PM to Hope and tell them your member name and listener name if you have one, and tell them the date you aged up.
@soulsings Hope who? How do I find the name to PM them?
Nevermind I figured it out. Thank you!
@Soccermaya1010 send a PM to Hope and tell them your member name and listener name if you have one, and tell them the date you aged up.
I just came back after a while. And I received a notification welcoming me to the adult side. All my older messages have disappeared.):
Of course my teen chats disappeared after I turned 18. But I still have their usernames listed by the website. However when I click or try to see their profile it says "the content you're looking for doesn't exist" 🥺
@cheerfulIceCream yes I hear you. That must be frustrating to still see their names in history. Because you are in the 18+ section, the only way you can reach out to teens is by becoming an ATL Adult Teen Listener.
helppp my bday is in 4 days, and I put my bday in the wrong, and the community team hasn't emailed me back :D!!
@ConfuesdCliche I am sorry you have not heard. How many days or months later is your 18th birthday than you entered in 7cups?
@soulsings
@soulsings
it is actually in 35 months and 26 days, for short it is in 3 years
@ConfuesdCliche I hope they get that straightened out soon. You have time. It can take weeks sometimes if they are really busy.
@soulsings
tysm! but will they still be able to place me as a teen listener since my birthday has already passed?
Hey, I'm Refl3x, my birhtday is coming up soon and im moving to the adult site. What does that mean? Can somebody help.
@Refl3x Hey there, it means you will be seeing adult listeners and members (over 18 years age) and the teen side would be unavailable unless you will apply to become an ATL (Adult Teen Listener). Let me know what your thoughts and feelings regarding this transition are

I age up in June. I'm autistic so I'm a little unsure the adult side won't accept me as I still struggle with communicating. Is there a person ( like an atl ) who could help with this?
@sunshinegiraffe123. I am tagging 3 people that I think might direct you in right direction. I know how hard change and transition can be for someone with a disability . I hope you get the right help. I know it's a long way To June but I think getting started now might help you in long run to have the transition go smoothly. For you.
@anotherfrenchtoastclub @tranquilbear14 @soulsings
@sunshinegiraffe123
Hey! I'm here, part of the ageing up project :) Feel free to mesage me!
@sunshinegiraffe123 feel free to PM me about this, sunshine! Would be happy to help
@sunshinegiraffe123 I am glad you are concerned about your communication skills, but you have already shown a great ability to communicate here. I would welcome the opportunity to speak in PMs about things you could work on in the next 10 months to be prepared for being confident with your ability to communicate.
Part of the secret is controlling expectations so we do not put too much pressure on ourselves.
so..ill be turning 18 in 2 months...can i still be a member......
@corspefuturewife Yes, you will be shifted to adult side of cups and will be an adult member(:
@Fristo...im just scared of transitoning ...i dont know what to expect..or if adults can help me with what i go through espically as a age regresser....
@corspefuturewife There are many kind and compassionate listeners on adult side. Have you talked to an Adult-Teen listener as a member (For example, I am an Adult-Teen listener who is an adult listening to both adults and teens). I understand a change could feel scary.
@Fristo n-no i havnt....i have only talked to teens....
@Fristo and i am really scared..ik i shouldnt be..but i am..
@corspefuturewife It is okay to feel scared. We can work to gradually make you feel better. Could talking to ATL (Adult-Teen Listeners) be a good start? All ATL are listed on this page. They are there with you now and will continue to be there with you even after adulting.
@Fristo y-yeah that might do me some good
@corspefuturewife
As ATL, mentor I stay with those I write until they feel their okay to be on their own. I also am always there in case afterwords they may some help. It is okay to feel nervous at first but we will never leave your side. ❤️
@pamharley003 thx..this is just all so new.......idk what to do..
@corspefuturewife
Anyone of the ATL mentors will be glad to answer all your concerns. We would not expect to let you do it alone. We are here to make the traansition safe and comforting.
@pamharley003 thx for helping me..sorry if i bugged u too much
@corspefuturewife
Your not a bother I am glad to help teen's coming on the adult side
I got a message saying on my birthday ill be moving to the adult side but I'm turning 17 is that how its supposed to be?
@Rosecow101 Hey Rose, could it be so that you have mistakenly filled wrong birth date while signing up? In any case, you can email community@7cups.com about your correct age
