I played girlsense (I'm bluestylz on it) I find it's really fun, but can have some adult content. For example people often open up marketplace bid rooms with titles like "If your hot come here," or "Sexy singles here" Other than that, the webesite allows you to be creative and feel special, knowing that people can actually get to know you as a well known brand.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of GirlSense was written by Lucy Maher
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.

More on GirlSense
What’s the Story?
On GIRLSENSE.COM, tween fashionistas can be true girly girls by designing clothing items, commenting on other people's clothes in their online closets, and creating makeup looks on virtual dolls. After joining for free, each member (the site says there are more than 10 million) can create an avatar (cartoon version of herself) and get to work designing dresses, skirts, and T-shirts. She can stock them in her boutique for others to see and buy with "g-cents," which are earned with every login. What's more, there's an area for creating makeup looks on cartoon models, numerous style-related polls ("What's Your Favorite Hairstyle" or "What Kind of Hat Do You Wear?"), and games such as "Stylin' Pedicure" and "Bad Hair Day." Girls can post anonymously on moderated message boards or invite their friends via email to private chat rooms.

Some Pros and Cons
I love this website because we can all be creative and when we want to message someone, there are selected words we can use. Some people hide insults and innapropriate language in these words though. Also, sometimes it is hard to get a point across because of the limited amount of words we can use. Other than that it is fun to design your own fashions and sometimes accesories like boomboxes and journals if you are more experienced. You can spend the money you earn from your fashions on other people's creations and rate items and boutiques. This will be helpful when we all grow up and go into business for ourselves. Great way to express yourself.

Personally, I love girlsense. I'm older, so I'm not really into the whole "owning your botique" thing, but I do design shirts and stuff. What I like is babble, which is basically kids twitter. The only cuss word it allows is hell, it doesnt even allow crap. I think babble, groups, and notes are fine for kids 12+,and then all the other stuff can be for younger kids. And if your worried about hell being allowed on babble, I can guarantee parents 100%(I dont care if your kid is an angel in front of you) if your kid is older than 11 years old they cuss. Maybe not all the time, but they've at least said b*tch. I know I cuss a lot.

TEENS ON,LY!!!
Before when I used this site, it was safe, awesome and all that. But, during Nov '09 BOYS entered this site. They should allow a chat bar on auctioning, even though you have an option if you want it or not. Well, boys are being disgusting, flirting and alll that.

Inappropriate on SO many levels...
Ok I'm torn with this one. I love the website cause it's really fun to make clothes and play the games and do auctions (when the people are normal). But lots of people make shirts lately that say "if ur by click here" By meaning bisexual and post them on auctions. Then if you go in one, there are tons of people mostly girls saying "Hey wanna do it" meaning have sex. It's really disturbing. Also if you say something like please stop talking to me then (this has happened to me) they will send you a note saying something gross like "love u plz follow me to an auction so we can do it" I was so disturbed that from then on i stopped going on auctions. With product placement, for weeks at a time they have the same ads all over the website. And grossly, I have seen ads for Trojan condoms. There are girls as young as 6 on there and they have no idea what sex is yet. And if they go in to an auction room with inappropriate content then that is not a good situation. I've seen shirts that say F**K U even though you can't write those words, people use stamps or buttons. And I've also seen the words S**T, B***H, C**P and H E double hockey sticks. Some of the girls (and boys) are way out of line here... Out of 100% I would say that 15% is good about this website.

It's Great for Most.
When I checked out GirlSense I was super excited that I finally found what I was looking for: A GOOD WEBSITE. But when I got the hang of GirlSense, I started to noctice that you can't use capitals and some words like out or numbers which to me, STINKS. But one day when I was searching GirlSense auctions I came to see that a user who snuck in a bad word which is strictly forbidden in GirlSense. It say I know I'm a b***h but get over it. I was really mad. But other wise GirlSense is positive with mostly nice girls.

Great fashion site with lots to do
I am a regular visitor this site and I would rate it iffy for age 9 and under, as children that age aren't very internet savvy yet, so no there but it is great for kids age 10 plus. Girls over 13 can use "babble", like an updater on what you're up to. Some of my friends are on this site, and it's great fun to look at their boutiques, which you can design yourself, along with clothes and play many games. Great for fashion lovers age 10+

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.

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.
