This site is pretty open with issues teenage girls face. Help me Heather is a pretty good help section. The fact that anyone can comment is great, because actual girls can tell you how it really is. The sexual content isn't encouraging sex in preteens and teens, just explaining concepts of safe and unsafe sex, STDs, and all the consequences of having sex. The label it section has some iffy language, but it's all in educational purpose.

What Parents Need to Know
About gURL
Parents need to know that this hub for teen girls does have some valuable information (health issues) and can foster creativity (encourages poetry writing), but also has several interactive elements that might raise some eyebrows. The site monitors its message boards only "as often as we can" -- not 24 hours a day -- so questionable language and photos do slip through, although users are discouraged from posting either. Girls also ask and answer questions on frank topics like having sex in the woods; some user-posted photos show girls downing Jack Daniels or posing seductively in their underwear on a bed.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about safety online. Why isn't it safe to post a suggestive photo of you or your friends online. Who sees that photo? Even if you are using a username, why might it be dangerous to have your image online? Also, what other personal stuff is taboo to share online? What is OK to post?

older kiddies, tweens erm okay
Quite an okay site, I know there are other better sites for girls. Did discuss bout matters that parents tend to avoid but yeah it gets a little too much at times. Don't know if girls displaying photos of themselves online for all to see is a good idea. Should hae some privacy on that. Been there when I was a little younger but not so fantastic, I dunno... it maybe to some

Great Website for Teens
I really like it, it gives great information on important issues, such as stuff moms talk about with their daughters. There are some comics that include sex, but it is not shown in images and they don't discuss the actual sex. In one comic a girl discusses buying condoms with her cat.
