Whether it's needed is situational. In this case, since she used informal language, it was apparent to everyone that this is an informal situation where criticism is very much okay so long as it ties in to the subject. There's a lot of things she doesn't need, like advice from young folks who only know things from their own experience and not from their mother's or an older adult's.

Seriously, not everyone who has responded know what it's like to be a mother dealing with a teenage daughter. It may sound easy for a young person to say "just trust your daughter" because that's what these kids want from their own parents, but this is beyond trust between mother and child—it's trusting the young man who the mother knows nothing about aside that he's "kewl", among other factors. In my opinion, she doesn't need people telling her to "trust" her daughter everytime either, but I wasn't complaining about that [until now].

If a person is seeking advice from the public at large, he/she should be prepared for anything. I apologized before that I and others have upset her with our doubts about her age, but it's as much our rights to do so as it is her right to type the way she does.

But anyway, I guess now that enough people have expressed the same sentiments, any more "you're not really 30 yrs-old" responses would be spam since it's repeating what everyone else said.
