I am...ahem...well a bit older than 16...let's just leave it at that....however....I was diagnosed at the age of 12, and remember a lot of what my teen years were like....
Various ages on here...some newly diagnosed, some have had it for years, some old ppls, some newer...lol...
Hopefully a few of the younger ones will be around shortly to introduce themselves. In the meantime...there are a few of us around who are happy to help in any way we can.... if you have questions you don't want to ask in public, feel free to PM me, or maybe find someone else you feel you can trust....
I hope you find some new friends and some useful info!

Hey Megan!
Welcome to the forum
My crohn's was also recently discovered, but like you I am still pretty young. I am 21 now, but I have had stomach problems since I can remember.
If you ever need anybody to talk to, you can message me or anybody on the forum (everybody is so supportive) <3
Hey! Welcome and good to have you here, I was a little older than you when I was diagnosed, sucks a little but you're alot calmer than I was! Best of luck for your surgery!
