Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    A heavy emphasis on writing -- journaling, writing stories and poetry, contributing recipes -- provides a creative outlet.
  • Messages:

    The site promotes friendship with an interesting and diverse group of friends.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Kids can earn Miss O Tokens and use them to enter contests. Miss O merchandise is available on the site, and there are some ads. However, the site's publisher avoids advertisers pushing products with quesionable merit.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what their daughters want to be when they grow up, and whether the site makes them feel like they can be a success in life. The site emphasizes writing and the possibility of being published in a book. Does that make you want to do creative writing on your own time? How do you feel about chatting with friends or playing them online, as opposed to visiting them in real life. Does it make you feel like you could say or do things you wouldn't do in real life? Or do you treat your friends the same online as you do when you're face to face?

    Beware of Personality Quizes

    Although the games are very age appropriate for 10 yr olds (even on the challenging modes), the language and social situations described in different personality quizzes suggests that the quizzes are for an older age group, such as 15 or older. Questions included many boyfriend references, and even used vulgar language (pissed) to describe an emotion. Short of participating in all of the quizzes to monitor the content, I would just steer my daughter clear of this area. It's too bad that the content is so much more adult, as many young girls like to take the quizzes as a way to get to know themselves.
