I just heard how the age requirement that you must be 13 or older and its ridiculous. We should be able to help anyone of any age.

@aestheticBaddie0530 I agree. The reason for it is that federal law in the US makes things difficult for websites that allow people under 13 to participate. See: Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule ("COPPA").

Some other websites do have the funds to get around the legal difficulties and provide help for people under 13. In future, maybe, if 7 Cups becomes more successful or if the law is changed, 7 Cups will also find a way to do this.
