  • Is it any good?

    3.0

  • Common Sense says

    Tween-esteem site says: Find your inner goddess.

Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Tweens can play word games, take quizzes ("Are you getting enough nature time?"), and keep a private online journal.

  • Messages:

    The site promotes self-esteem and positive character traits. During registration girls must choose which gender-stereotypical goddess they're "like."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Some advice discusses obsessive crushes on boys. Some goddesses dress in thigh-high microminis and cutoff shirts.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Girls are encouraged to do things on the site to earn "goddess gold" pieces to buy stuff. There are currently no ads on the site, but fine print suggests it may be a tool to brand and market GoGoddess characters for future sales.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About GoGoddess

Parents need to know that this site sticks the tween label on girls as young as 6, yet some of the site's content -- like the advice column's discussion about obsessive crushes, as well as some of the games -- clearly isn't crafted for first graders. The site does encourage girls to earn up to 500 "goddess gold" pieces a day so they can buy things for their goddess. Girls can safely chat with other goddess friends who are on their invite-only list.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what self-esteem means. Does identifying with an online character like one of the goddesses make a girl feel better about herself? Check out the advice column together and discuss the pros and cons of asking for and taking advice from an online "expert." Talk about writing in a journal or taking self-examining, magazine-style quizzes. What's most useful in building self-knowledge and self-esteem?
