Though this site is meant for younger teens, I thoroughly enjoyed all of its features. This is a fascinating look at the role of the media in the lives of girls. I wish I had found this site when I was younger!

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the ways in which pop culture is both enjoyable and manipulative. Who makes the decisions behind what a pop star wears, and whose best interest do those people have in mind? Are all images in a magazine air-brushed and how does that affect how we view ourselves? What do the TV shows you watch really say about you?

Know your kid
Since you are dealing with things like pop stars there is going to be some element of sexuality. Some of the costumes and lyrics are mildly suggestive. Otherwise it is a great site where girls can produce their own music, tv program or magazine. My daughter loved it.
