Should we have teen avatars?

Decentraland currently only supports two types of Adult avatars. Male & Female.

Idea is to bring in teen avatars that are maybe half the size of the exisiting avatars. Now why is this important? Well if we we want to attract the younger crowds (similar to Roblox & Minecraft) than first we need to make them comfortable when they first login. Aim of this exercise is to target the age groups between 13-18 while making Decentraland little bit more fun for all users.

This brings forward an important questions. How would the exisiting wearables work for teen avatars?

One solution to this problem is to have plenty of default teen avatar skins inside the backpack.

Other solution is; considering the current wearables can't be adjusted/modified to fit the teen avatars is by giving our creators new opportunities to create & design teen wearables so they can monetise their skills. I believe if this implementation is accepted by our community, the news alone will bring many new users to the platform. Especially in the ages between 13-18.
