What Parents Need to Know
About GirlSense
Parents need to know that on this fashion/social networking site, tween and teen girls can correspond with each other via message boards, chat, buying virtual goods, and critiques. There are two different types of communication: a private chat, where friends invite friends, and "chatterbox," a string of posts or texts moderated for offensive language and inappropriate posts. There are ads on the site, and a big part of the site is about shopping, fashion, and makeup.

Girlsense reviewed by Commonsense- and it ain't pretty.
There are lots of things to do on website! Though they have some inapropraiate ads on the website, and I've seen 6-year-olds. They also have chat, and it is not as safe as you think. It's very addicting, so I suggest you give your kid a strict time limit for this website- I've spent a whole day on girlsense and, well, let's just say I was very pooped in the morning lol. Also some boys join the website and "go out" with girls. And sometimes when a girl says something bad,she gets away with it! I've seen lots of bullying too. Think twice before joining girlsense, trust me.
- I rate this title on for age 9 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive consumerism
Perfect for kids and tweens, and teens.
I think this is a very good website for kids starting at about 9 years old and up. You don't need to worry about inipropriate things because they will not even let you type what state you live in, let a lone swear words.
