First of all, I'm 10. I love this website it is awesome. So, if you want a child's advice it IS age appropriate for 9 and up. My user name is bmeyer. And it is a good way to make freinds and it protects a child from sending out information, like oh, say little Bobby tries to send out his e-mail adress. It just says thewebsites name it won't let him send it out. It also protects kids from inapropriate language like the f-word or something like that. So, over all I play it all day and you can also talk with internet freinds, blog, post pics, and buy clothes with cartoon dollars!
