Be Careful!
When I started hearing this website being spoken about a lot among the kids I'm surrounded with, like my younger cousins and little sister, I asked them what it was all about. Of course, being kids they failed to provide me with the important details. So i went on myself and created an account and everything. Trying to figure how everything worked out, I was approached by another player and was asked to go over to his condo, after telling me I was cute. Out of curiosity, i went. Upon arrival at his condo, he suggested taking off our clothes and having "secks." I think this website is very much like a chat room and shouldn't be allowed for younger children. They make communication as easy as text messages. So if your child isn't mature yet...think again about letting them on this site.

My daughter (11) learned all about pretend sex, condoms, BJs and herione. If that's your idea of a good website for kids, then go for it. The kids brag about doing herione, doing sex. My daughter was requested to reveal personal information. Very inappropriate.

ourworld is a fraud
Be careful when you sign up. We signed up for one month only but they will keep taking money out of your acount monthly until you cancelled. Today they have taken the monthly $5.99 out of my account 8 times so far and every hour they are taking another $5.99 from my account. There is no way to contact them the telephone number is from another country. When I send an e-mail it is sent back to me.

It's the users not the game.
I've been playing this game for a long time, before gems came into play. I would say any website with chat, avatars or anything of that nature are never safe for kids. Because anyone can play them and some people enjoy ruining things for others. When "hearts" were created I had a side account just so people would stop asking out of the blue. It was suppose to be something serious and the immaturity of the players was ridiculous. Girls claiming they were cheated on and would openly chat about suicide, That's when you know they take the game too far. The second issue I found was the levels, once kids reached a certain level they became arrogant and rude, I always found the term noob rude and senseless, everyone was new at some point. Higher levels always bashing new players for being "ugly" because they have starter outfits or clothes that didn't cost gems, or simply making fun of them for asking a question about the game. Then gifting, with it's constant begging, and some kids trying to scam new players, into buying them gems or something of the sort. I could log on and will find someone I don't know commenting me to give them a gift. It gets to a point where you don't even want to leave your profile open to all players, for anyone could message and comment spamming about gifts, or my next issue. Kids who try to talk or display sexual actions.Being naked means getting down to undergarments. But people will use their imagination and do dance moves to interpret sex. OW did block a lot of terms from being used but you can say anything if you know how to get around it. Lastly, anyone can play it. But if your kid wants to make an account you better hope they're mature and know the difference between real life and the internet. It is not the games fault that a variety of ages play this, and it's certainly not their fault when users want to misbehave and act rude or crude. So there really isn't a way to shelter your kids from anything, this happens everywhere.

Meh..
I went on here a while ago, when i was 10, and it was fun at first. At first, I had a lot of self-control, and didnt log on for a month or so here and there. But then, I started to meet and become friends with some other people. Before i knew it, i was texting a guy 3 years older than me. And for parents who complain about sexual content. Really? Its a chat site, what else would you possibly expect? But this is not a good idea. When you have friends on there, you feel obliged to keep going on to talk. The problem is, it sucks up all your time, and you will notice your grades may start to lower. This game is fine for anyone with self control though.

OurWorld Reivew : Perspective of a Parent
Ourworld is a very safe kid freindly and fun website that is easily accsible to children and does not let any private or personal information get to the other users. All bad words are blocked and the makers have used top of the line information so that it is virtually impossible to track down another user. Everyonre using the website can only be frends with others . and so that there will be no inapropriate contact beetween the avatars there is a berrior so that each avatar can only get a certain amount of closness not allowing the avatars to touch. They are separated by 2 inches to prevent all inappropriate content. The kids can also listen to fun and enjoyable music . Users acheive higher levels when they play games and receive a power up called flow and when they get a certain amount of flow they get higher levels. Ourworld is a kid and parent freindly way children can talk with their freinds from school or even distant family while keeping it safe and making sure they already know the person their taking to .

BEWARE
I just caught my daughter sex talking with a male charachter. she is 12 yrs old. I highly suggest YOU parents out there watch ur teens with this website. I barged in on her just to check what she was doing like I do occasionally. She quickly switched to fb and pretended to flip through pic's. I knew something was up. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN
