Parents need to know that this site is an interactive online community featuring the popular teen network's shows and their sometimes-dodgy content. Teens are exposed to all that goes on in the shows -- drinking, kissing, talk of sexual escapades, jealousy, some drug use (popping pills, cocaine). The site does try to hawk goods, and commercials and ads run rampant.
Positive messages:Video clips are emotionally charged, relevant, and handled responsibly. One showed a character posing provocatively for photos that were going to be posted on the Internet. The character talked about how you can feel safe online, but she's heard too many scary stories to know that's not always the case.
The-n is a great site, I'll admit that. I even have an account. But parents need to be aware of what is on the site. Language is monitored to a degree, but so many people write the word in another way, that it is obvious. This is considered acceptable.
The quiz content can sometimes be a bit more mature.
The shows! Oh the shows! That is where you run into danger. There is the typical kissing, hugging stuff going on, but drugs are shown, and so is violence. In one episode of Degrassi when I first started watching I was stunned, and have not watched an episode since. There is a party with alcohol, drugs, and sex. But when one person is leaving there are some kids who don't like him, and as they are leaving he is getting into the car, but one of the bullies turns around, runs at the guy getting into his car and stabs him in the back. All of this is shown on the screen. Nothing is left out. The worst part of it is that Degrassi is rated TV-PG. I was disgusted. So parents be aware. I would suggest going on The-n with your child, or being in the same room with the computer and monitoring strictly what they are doing. The-n is like a fire. Fire is good if it is kept in hand, but you let it get out of hand and it can destroy so many things.
The-N* is a fun way to pass the time. You can obtain creds to purchase clothing to dress your Avatar.
The boards are heavily moderated with filters and employees to make sure no one does anything too bad. But if there is something really bad posted you can report that user and receive creds for notifying them about the problem.
They do talk about suggestive topics like: sex, same-sex couples, and relationship troubles. But all of it is PG-13, so have fun and discuss topics or play a game or two!
I'm even on this website and my username is ashelyluvr.
I've been a member of this site since before the Myspace fad and Facebook. It's great to express yourself as long as you don't mind the occasional idiot that completely tears your thread apart. Plus with The Click, you can catch up on missed episodes of Degrassi and other shows. Plus unlike some other websites (like my favorite yet under-moderated Habbo), the-n* has a great staff that will get rid of innappropriate threads and comments.
good for teens nt good for your 7yr or 8yr old kid
yes there some suggestive parts in one video game but the website gives you the chance to flag users or thread as too inapporiate and since Nick Cannon is head of the website the website had gotten even cleaner so you dont have to worry
The-n is awesome. Some people say it's a waste of time but the-n is a site for TEENS to just hang out with friends, play games, make new friends, take quizes and so much more. the-n gives great tips on how to shape up our planet because they feel that we can make a difference. It shows various shows that teach us lessons about life and how to keep our life on the right track. Just because the-n is a fun chat site, dosen't mean its dangerous for teens. check it out. you'll have a blast and u won't want to get off!
The-n* is fun and full of cool stuff.
This is a perfect website for teens 13+ they really understand what we're about not like all the others that try.
I love the-n network in general and I think the site is really cool. The message boards are fun to look at. The topics are endless. The games are fun and I like taking quizzes here and there. The podcasts, the n-sider, everything about this site is just great. I go on it every single day. My favorite site.
