Teens need to take charge of their own health with solid facts along with goal setting, self-affirmation, and good decision-making.

The site says it will discuss sexual health topics such as STDs, sexting, teen pregnancy, sexual orientation and coming out of the closet, puberty, safer sex, birth control, condoms, menstruation, and body changes. The site says "Too often teenagers get (mis)information about sexual health from the media, without a true understanding of the reproductive health facts or about what healthy relationships are."

Nothing to buy with real money here. Teens can earn points and buy little icons for their online friends. It's unclear whether advertising will become part of the site after it moves out of Beta.

Frank discussion about the health dangers of smoking, drinking alcohol, drugs. There's an article on decriminalizing marijuana.

Good privacy controls. To register, members need to enter their first and last names, email address, zip code, gender, and age, but they can make up any screen name for their profile. Anything teens want kept private on the site, they can label with a purple padlock icon. Articles published contain first name, last initial, age, and potentially a photo. Site conforms to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). No parental controls. Parents need not be notified when a teen creates an account here. The site's terms state that you must be 13 to be permitted to use the site.
