Hey, don't diss the slash. (Or, as the saying goes, "Meddle not in the affairs of slashers, for you are cute and look good with other men.")
First of all, as Heidi mentioned, most fanfiction sites have age restrictions due to content in general. As for slash, not all of it is so eplicit that it needs to be restricted. in fact, most of slash isn't. I don't see why you shouldn't be exposed to slash in general. If a child is on the internet at all it is safe to assume he or she is responsible enough to handle mild slash, considering what else s/he risks discovering on the internet.
As a fanficcer and one of the teenagers that have improved their grammar and spelling in every day life due to dealings in fanfiction, I can safely say that slash has bothered me not at all, even before I began reading it. In fact, being less popular than het, slash fics are actually more likely to have proper gammar and spelling, at least if you're looking at ff.net, that is.
