What Parents Need to Know

About eCRUSH

Parents need to know that this site does contain some slightly iffy content. Though the tone of the articles is mostly preteen-friendly, links like "World's Best Pickup Lines" may raise a parental eyebrow. In fact, the site actually promotes a responsible approach to dating and romance. Membership is free, but requires setting up a user name and password to communicate with potential crushes. Anyone can browse the profiles; the safety net is that no one can contact a member unless there's a "match," meaning that two people have to know each other in order to get linked up.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about boundaries, Internet privacy, and some simple rules of how to communicate online. What kind of information is appropriate to post online? Who should you give your personal information to? You can also discuss crushes: What do you when you have one, and when's a crush unhealthy.
