I've been in online communities since shortly after my 10th birthday and this has never once been a problem.

Most of my friends when I was a teenager were people I met online. It was beyond a reasonable doubt good for me to be on the Internet during that time because it was the only place where I fit in, where I could be myself.

If I ever have kids, I hope they fit in better than I did offline, but if they don't, there is no way I am going to prevent them from socializing in online communities.
