I hate this website. Children date and 'do it', and curse. It is unsuccessful and boring. I think this website sucks.

No.1 in the most horrible virtual worlds list
I hate it!Even though it's all about nature users don't talk about that!In the restaurant two boys fighting over a girl?!Saying"CUT _____'S HEAD!","KICK _______!","PUNCH_______!"And a big circle of users would gather around them and stop the fight!But before that happened they just met in the restaurant and ask her to be their date.And this started!Also,another user in the beach teased a user that she has black poop!And he said he made that message to make himself look cool!I made friends with another user.But she also comments"Anyone single come here to me!"Dates and dates everywhere!One boy user even asked me to be his girlfriend!But I just commented,"Sorry,I'm too young for you."And then also a girl user and I were chatting.Then suddenly she said that I'm a weirdo!And I was trying to tease the user who was bullying the girl user(the user being teased by saying she has black poop)I said,"Haha,black poop guy's gone now!"But another user said,"Leave her alone!"It was horrible I never want to go into this site again.Unless AllGirlArcade somebody said I was a copycat of her outfit.But just that.Others can be nice in KidsCom though.

I think it would be fun for littler kids, but watch out for the messaging.
Well, I made an account and I got bored of it within 2 mins. When I was on there, you could type stuff like "butt" and other things not too bad but could hurt little kids feelings. I guess it would be pretty educational if you play educational games on there. I would say it's boring for me, but I'm 11. For 7+ ages I would reccomend. Littler kids than those ages, would probably get offended or sad about the rude messaging that a smaller sibling, or friend might be worried about. If your 5, 6, or even 7, I think go on KidsCom* with a parent/gardian so they can supervise you (your kid).
