common sense media says
Frivolous fun with Hello Kitty and friends.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this site allows kids to participate in a large online community, and although the forum filters out common swear words, Sanrio doesn't heavily regulate what can be posted. But most of the content is safe -- and even a little boring -- and any inappropriate content can be easily reported. The weird thing is that the site attracts two very different mindsets who seem to happily coexist: Young kids who love Hello Kitty and want to play games and older teens who love Hello Kitty and want to post photos and socialize.
Educational value:
Very little educational value aside from learning how to use a simple online publishing tool.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
The site has a Kitty Shop, where you can purchase the latest design in Hello Kitty shirts (although at the time of writing, they were no longer taking orders because of a huge preorder backlog). There's also a page that lists retail shops that sell all things Hello Kitty and Sanrio, but, oddly enough, none were listed for the U.S.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

Perfect for smart kiddies.
i used to play this game when I was 11. It was fun, but there were a lot of hackers and they played jokes on people by puting in something that says, "Don't Click Here." Then it sends you to a page that keeps you there and you have to completley reload your computer. There are a lot of jokes of computer nerds there.

My opinion
I wanted to join this, but I have to be at least 13 to join! I think it's unfair how little kids can't join a website with hello kitty.
