WeeWorld
Common Sense Media says
Cartoon avatars mask surprisingly iffy content.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that although this online community uses childlike cartoon avatars (WeeMees), it's not a place for tweens or even young teens. Anything goes in the messages you leave and read on other WeeMees' pages and forums, including swear words and other offensive language. Some games are simple and fun and oddly addicting, but the edgier ones will definitely make you do a double take (in "Pogo for Panties!" the goal is to catch the "good" lingerie while avoiding the "bad" -- the ones with flies). Content in the WeeCards will also raise eyebrows. In one animation, a shark bites off a WeeMee's head, causing blood to spurt out; in another, the WeeMee seductively uses her tongue to flirt. Avatars can be customized with belly type (toned or not) and breast size (small to quite large). Teens can take their WeeWorld obsession offline by buying T-shirts, mousepads, buttons, and more. Animated ads are on all pages.
What's it about?
Welcome to WEEWORLD.COM, where users make cartoon versions of themselves -- a WeeMee -- by choosing from a selection of hip clothes, emotions, and, yes, breast size (for the female avatars). WeeMees can be used in email, IM, forums, and blogs, and uploaded to phones. WeeWorld.com also offers animated cards and WeeGames that are simple, fun, and strangely addicting.
Is it any good?
Some content is over the top: You can turn your WeeMee into a panty raider at "Pogo for Panties!" and catch the "good" lingerie while avoiding the "bad" (the ones with flies). And the comments on personal pages can get raunchy. The animated cards are mostly fun, but some have unexpected twists that are too edgy for youngsters. (For example, one of the birthday animations has candles blowing up in the WeeMee's face.) The WeeMees are cute, but WeeWorld.com is hardly a perfect online world -- and it's definitely not for kids.
Online interaction: You can chat, make friends lists, play games, and invite people to private chat rooms. The site offers comprehensive guidelines forbidding a whole host of offensive behavior.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about whether this site is meant to appeal to kids, and discuss the use of avatars. Do you think the site is purposely misleading to kids? What's wrong with someone using an avatar that doesn't represent them at all -- say, an adult male posing as a teen girl? Families can also discuss Internet safety and what's appropriate to post online.

Bad website for ANYBODY
Weeworld is extremely inappropriate for any age. On weeworld, you can pretty much say or do whatever you want. You can go to different chat rooms and often times see people in the chat rooms having virtual sex, giving out personal contact information,and even ASKING for personal contact information. It can also be very adicting to children. I have a little sister who used to have a weeworld account and spent about six hours a day on the weekends on the website. Eventually my mom made her give it up because this group of people kept on insulting her and the way her avatar looked. Also, many people use extremely profane language because, once again, of weeworld's poor filtering system.
Even if your child is a good responsible person, do not let them go on this website. It is not your child you can't trust, it is the other users.

Addicting :(
This site is a great site. Its great for meeting new people and just hanging out, ive met some great online people that have become great friends. But it is quite an adiction! ive seen people "quit" and come back a few days later. ive tried to stop playing it but i cant! If u know u wont be on that much or u cant, this isnt a good website. it takes over ur life. Almost anything u want is going to cost money. But overall its a pretty good site, if u can think wisely on it.

No
I used to go on WeeWorld so much that my Mom was worried that bad things were happing when I was online. People on this website say whatever they want because they found a loop-hole by just typing periods in the middle of letters nothing is blocked. People date on this website sometimes they ask for each others phone numbers or addresses so they can do stuff in the real world. You can chose chest size from small to quite big. People have kids. And you can get bullied too! If you are 1o or older this website is ok but overall this is not a good website for any age.

I luv this site and im 14, but it is still something to b cautious about........
i luv this website but u have to b very careful about the chat rooms. ther is no language guard (like on webkinz) so u can type anything! bad words, etc. etc. and its pathetic how many people take advantage of it! people will ask people out, swear, and ask if anyone wants to have sex. and the giving out of personal information is terrible! people are saying how old they are, ther name, even where the live! everything besides the chat rooms is pretty clean tho. the only other thing is they have a few pieces of lenguire in the clothes department, but thats mainly it. i avoid the chat rooms at all costs.

BAD!!!
This website is not good for children. When I told my mom about the content on WeeWorld, she made my little sister stop playing, she made me stop too. Women can choose breast size, with a HUGE option. When women switch shirts their nipples are revealed. This website is fun, though. People can cuss, threaten, hack people, several couples are seen giving out phone numbers and real names, people are kidnapped because many love interests are just adult predators. Some people try to sell products, getting gold and green is ridiculously overpriced. This website is bad. Girls can go around in a bra and underwear, and wear inappropriate outfits, and always have cleavage. Breast shape is emphasized in tight T Shirts. Many people pretend to "do it" or "f" or some people plain out say "have s ex". With a simple space, any word or "sex" can be said.
