I think your label text is outside of your label. I'm not sure how they do it on the video but I would say:

<label for ="over_13" class="light">13 or Older<input type="radio" id="over_13" name="user_age"></label>

 <label for="under_13" class="light"> 13 Younger<input type="radio" id="under_13" name="user_age"></label>

Wrapping the input inside the label keeps everything together - I think your styling is making them look a little spaced out right now.

Uh, i tried this code but it doesnt work :/ Im making a copy from what i learned on forms but im trying to learn how to style them and i find it pretty dificult since they dont got any videos on it : / As yesterday the form camed out so i suppose they dont got how to style it .

Well im putting my own code , im not re-styling it because i need to learn how to do any form i like you and well , theres alot of situations/challenges ,

That's cool, this code should work with the right css.

If you want them inline, try creating a class 'inline_radio' and set width: 30% to 0.

.inline_radio {
  width:0;
}

It works fine for the text but it doesnt work for the radio button. Its somewhere in the middle floating . The text is inline now but the radio buttons are just not there : P

Say whaaaattt. Okay, try removing the 30% on the label also - but just the label for the radio buttons

Ah, so you've added two "class" attributes to your labels.

I've got quite close with:

HTML

<br>
<label>Age:</label>
 <br>
<label for ="over_13" class="light inline_radio">13 or Older<input type="radio" id="over_13" name="user_age"></label>
<label for="under_13" class="light inline_radio"> 13 Younger<input type="radio" id="under_13" name="user_age"></label>

I just removed display:inline and it looks a little better

CSS

label.inline_radio {
  width: 50%;
  display:block;
  line-height: auto;
}

label.light{
    /*display: inline;*/
}

This will give you something that is inline - but out of place.

The width:350px on .form-wrap is pushing the radio buttons down:

.form-wrap input {
    width: 350px;
    clear: both;
    margin:5px ;
    height:2em;
    background: #9EA39B
}

you can fix by setting

label.inline_radio > input {
  width: 0
}

and then add spacing with margins to make it look nice ;)
