What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this safe, friendly social site encourages tweens to feel good about themselves -- not for being pretty, but for being smart, dedicated, and kind. There are lots of opportunities for girls to learn new things and express themselves creatively. All user-generated content is screened before it's published.
Is it any good?
The true spirit of "girl power" is alive and kicking on iTwixie, a cheerfully designed site that lets tweens get a taste of social networking in a safe, positive space. The site offers appealing activities -- like exchanging friendship bracelets with other iTwixie girls -- as well as a well-rounded range of posts about nature, sports, puzzles, and more. Members are super friendly and make creative contributions to the site -- including poetry, narrative videos, and recipes. Unlike many tween-targeted sites, iTwixie treats girls as smart, capable young people -- not fashion-crazed consumers.
Online interaction: Users can create a profile, make friends, and post comments. All content is either pre-scripted or reviewed before it's published. Interactions are friendly and positive.
Explore, discuss, enjoy
Families can talk about the site's pledge that includes guidelines about safety and behavior on social sites. If someone says something that you don't agree with, how would you express your opinion in a respectful way?
Families can talk about creating and posting videos online. What sites are safe for posting videos, and what kind of videos are OK to upload?

Powerfully positive for tween girls
iTwixie is full of positive messages for girls from encouraging an active lifestyle to being creative. There are cool features too like the ability to personalize the site with your favorite background. This site reminds girls that true girl power is about being yourself. I wish there were more sites like this out there!

Sends a Postive Message but Girls feel too Comfortable sometimes
i love iTwixie! I'm a member and i think girls can open up. It sends a very good message. They have news about how you can help with these chairtes, and they have these really interesting psycholagy news-for example one article is how a girl's favorite color tells their personality. I also like the movies the girls post. Also the contests are really interesting. Though sometimes i'm supcious because the girls i think feel too comfortable they tell their age, first name , annd where they live. Also the twixing they now have i'm sorta confused because you have tro pay to talk girls you across the U.S. you don't know. But other than that i love it!

iTwixie is For Really Cool, Really Real Girls
No other site makes sure that everyone is respectful of each other's opinions and that no one is ever mean. Members on iTwixie are so nice and welcoming. And there's always something to learn, think about or do to challenge girls to get stronger, smarter, to try new things or feel good about what girls can do. PLUS girls get to meet girls from all over the planet and I don't have to worry about safety -- iTwixie monitors 100% of what goes on the site. And it's a professional monitor! I love that! And there are games, instant chats, book clubs, awards for blogging... it's excellent! no other site is like it. Whenever iTwixie has a sponsor, it's always a cool, really good sponsor with great stuff to help girls be smarter or stronger. It's not like all those other sites that ask for money all the time or flash ads at our kids. I like sponsors who help to offer high quality content for my kids. I love iTwixie.
