Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Jun 20 2008, 9:06 AM EDT The best chance a preteen has to survive is to get into a group with experienced adults. Most don't have the experience and training that SOME adults do (there will be allot of adults who don't know how to survive without power, cars, and StarBucks!!). It's important to learn practical things that will help you. Like First aid, starting fires, hiking, what plants you can eat, swimming, and so on. I suggest you join your local Boy Scouts they will teach you much of this. THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE: 1) Stay away from the cool acting and sounding people. Most of the time they don't know what they are talking about and are posers. In life and on the Net (wiki included) . 2) Think about what your doing. Never dive into a situation without checking it out first. 3) Don't forget about your humanity. If you act like a Dictator, Smart ASS, or Slacker you will end up dead by Skin jobs, or by the people you hook up with. Don't get me wrong if you have a good idea put it out there, but if you think your right about every thing it will end bad for you. 4) Take a good look around were you live. You will probably find out things that you never noticed before. DON'T DO ANY B&E. 5 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jun 20 2008, 2:11 PM EDT I think kids Might actually be better off then adults. I know i am going to be scared as hell And I not going to try and be a "man" and take the fear and suck it up. I am going to put as much distance between me and the zeds as possible, barricade, and wait it out. (Still afraid as hell..) 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Jun 20 2008, 2:45 PM EDT I think f1reb1rd57 is right. The majority of kids younger than thirteen are going to be so afraid that they're in the situation they're in that they're not going to be in the mental state to respond to the threat. However; I live in Alabama and I know some kids that are just as good of a shot as I am, maybe some even better. Some kids are raised learning how to shoot well, and if put in the proper situation, they'll be prepared. It will all be about the person. But for the inexperienced city kids: stick to groups, find an adult or emergency personnel. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 2 2008, 10:06 AM EDT Honestly I don't think they will be much different from any other age group. You either have the killer instinct and the resources to survive or you don't. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Jul 3 2008, 10:22 AM EDT Ronota: To me it looks like the pros. overcome the cons.. I hope you put it in your survival plan to loot a pharmacy to get inhalers. Slow, smart, and stealthy will be the best way all survivors will get around. If you run fast, stupid, and noisy your going to end up in bad situations. ( I am not saying your slow but with your asthma, you won't run fast long. ). 42kg is plenty of supplies to scavenge at a time on foot. It should last a week or 2 per trip out. I think you will be far better than many others. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Jul 3 2008, 10:55 PM EDT The best thing for a preteen, tween, or teen to do in the zombie apocalypse, is the same thing they SHOULD do every day. That is, they should NOT act like a preteen, tween or teen. My .02 Seriously though, the country kids will probably be better off. The rural geography, most know how to shoot and hunt and other good skills, and most actually have had an ounce of responsibility and discipline. Ronota-Your pretty squared away. The picky eating will disappear when you get hungry lol. Dave is right, loot the hell out of the inhalers, or invest in caffiene, it helps asthma. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Jul 9 2008, 7:40 PM EDT I feel that it's not just the age that makes a difference, It's what us old people have done, and our toys. I'm 48. I'm ex military, an EMT, a fire fighter and all the rescue stuff that goes with it. Wisdom comes from doing. I'm sure a lot of these kids are in great shape and could run me into the dirt, that does not not mean they can drive a stick shift or clear a jammed weapon. A big pluse is the toys, jeeps, guns, a camper, stockplied food and med supplys. Preteens would be safe with a group of people, as would we all. You need someone to watch out while you sleep and cook. In a disaster we all have our place, like tools in a tool box. Right tool right job. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Thursday, 6:25 AM EDT Preteens would die on their own. Simple fact. They lack proper reason and comprehensive skill. They're rash and excitable. All too often a kid with a gun thinks they're invincible. "Shoot 'em in the head." They dont think much further than that. What about - range, ammunition, wind-factor, noise, enemy numbers? Only the kill. Then it's over for them. They don't serve much use in an adult group either. Preteen boys especially want to help and be a part of the action and often get in the way or die. And even if they stay out of the way preteens DO NOT listen. When they're told to stay put and what do they do? They wander off and die. No use. Simple fact. Btw I'm 18. But if it came to it I would take on a preteen allie. Not by need but by moral obligation to help someone in trouble. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Thursday, 2:35 PM EDT preteens dont have much of a chance of survival, not fully developed mentally or physically, unless you are a freak like i was and finished puberty by 13, and even then, preteen covers everything down to toddler pretty much and besides being little tards, they are loud and reliant on others for nearly everything(ive worked and lived in a day care center for almost 13 years so i should know). even teens have a lower chance of survival because they are hormones with legs and dont have any experience, when the standard practice for an age bracket's males attempting to attract girls is to act like a jerk, you should realize that they've got a ways to go. what they have going for them is the fact that they adapt much faster than people over the age of 23 when the body begins to atrophy, and the younger a person is the easier time they have of adapting mentally, unfortunately for teenagers, they fall at the very end of that so lots of times they won't be able to live without myspace of their sidekicks, much less human contact or adequate food. luckily peak physical condition is usually between the ages of 14 and 18, so they may be able to get by by the skin on their collective noses 1 out of 4 found this valuable.

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Friday, 1:23 PM EDT Yeah. I'm 12 and I must say, I'm not some clueless, mindless, waste of space like my friends so let me say something about your reasons. "The best chance a preteen has to survive is to get into a group with experienced adults." Yeah. You see, the thing is that I've noticed that stereotypes such as Bart Simpson have been thought of as truth. Everyone's ego makes them think that they're god compared to everyone else. This becomes very apperant around the age of 16, a time in which they begin to beleive anyone younger to be hyperactive five-year-olds. "Most don't have the experience and training that SOME adults do (there will be allot of adults who don't know how to survive without power, cars, and StarBucks!!)." I know. Humanity has become so depednent on tecnology that a minute without it would result in death. This was the fear from Y2K, this is something that I've been preparing for. I CAN THINK. Try it sometime. "It's important to learn practical things that will help you. Like First aid, starting fires, hiking, what plants you can eat, swimming, and so on." Things that children have known for years. First aid. I live with six cats. God. the bleeding. Also, I have a pool in a forest. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Friday, 1:36 PM EDT "I suggest you join your local Boy Scouts they will teach you much of this." They just told me everything that I already knew. "Stay away from the cool acting and sounding people. Most of the time they don't know what they are talking about and are posers. In life and on the Net (wiki included)." I hate that guy. He's obsessed with Rambo. He thinks that because Rambo and Indiana Jones never die, he'll be an "undying hero". I hate him. "Think about what your doing. Never dive into a situation without checking it out first." That's common sense. "Don't forget about your humanity. If you act like a Dictator, Smart ASS, or Slacker you will end up dead by Skin jobs, or by the people you hook up with. Don't get me wrong if you have a good idea put it out there, but if you think your right about every thing it will end bad for you." I KNOW about the Batavia. I KNOW about the Bounty. I KNOW about Willhelmshaven. I READ BOOKS! "Take a good look around were you live. You will probably find out things that you never noticed before. DON'T DO ANY B&E." STOP TELLING ME THINGS THAT I ALREADY KNOW! I'm sorry, but the whole "Unintelligent Preteen" thing pisses me off. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Friday, 2:06 PM EDT This guy really annoys me. "preteens dont have much of a chance of survival, not fully developed mentally or physically, unless you are a freak like i was and finished puberty by 13" For the first part, that's untrue. this "undevoloped mentality" as some call it, is the result of uncaring parents. As for the other part, cows are genetically altered to lactate at a younger age, but this also affects the person who drinks the milk. Whoever drinks the milk goes through an earlier puberty. My sister finished by eight. "preteen covers everything down to toddler pretty much and besides being little tards, they are loud and reliant on others for nearly everything(ive worked and lived in a day care center for almost 13 years so i should know)." Uncaring parents. Most parents hit/beat their children or just don't care. My mother, was uncaring and only hit me and said she had something to do (which I found out meant "CSI is on in 20 minutes"). I then turmed my attention to my loving father. I then found out that my mother had commitment issues. I lost contact with at the age of three. I turned attention to my grandfather, a screaming maniac. that constant screeching made me finally go to my grandmother. when she died, I turned to my only friends, maniacs. "even teens have a lower chance of survival because they are hormones with legs and dont have any experience, when the standard practice for an age bracket's males attempting to attract girls is to act like a jerk, you should realize that they've got a ways to go." So true. what they have going for them is the fact that they adapt much faster than people over the age of 23 when the body begins to atrophy. Gives us a physical advantage. " they won't be able to live without myspace of their sidekicks, much less human contact or adequate food." I only need food and water. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Friday, 2:26 PM EDT "luckily peak physical condition is usually between the ages of 14 and 18, so they may be able to get by by the skin on their collective noses" You seem to forget that some people have already prepared. According to my girlfriend, the invasion will begin 4:36 PM 3/24/17 in coastal areas. I'll survive until the age of 12/24/23 unknown time, when the Solanum virus is contracted to me by a reptile. She'll commit suicide in 12/27/23 as a result. She asked what to do when civilization is gone. She now has five reasons to kill me. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Preteens Best Chance To Survive
Friday, 3:00 PM EDT Did you just argue with yourself? ... Um... anyhow... if you are not an adult, you are usually a child. A child needs support(usually from a role-model or parent figure), and is still in the stages of learning. Without a role model, they do not know what to do simply because they lack the experience. They will go through the process of trial and error, trying to survive and gathering information ALONE. This usually gets them killed. (oops, I shouldn't have tried to jump down those stairs.) Overall, pre-teens and teens alike haven't the slightest idea what they are doing. Less then 1% actually has a good chance of survival, the rest of them will be just lucky. Why? Because it is demanded by the laws of nature that a child must have a parent to nurture them and take care of them until they are old enough to take care of themselves. Thing is, children have a smaller chance of surviving then adults. Genetics, nature, the family structure, conditioning, WHATEVER you call it, children need their parents, or at the very least someone to be their parents. Without them, I do not doubt that they will have a very difficult time living. ESPECIALLY in a zombie world 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

The closest thing I HAD to a role model or parent figure was Leonardo Da Vinci's sketches and notes. Everyone else hated me/didn't notice my existence/died. SCREW YOU! Do you find this valuable? |
