common sense media says

Teen lifestyle mag for girls is smart, safe.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that membership to this online TV network of sorts is by referral only -- girls must be invited by a friend who's already a member, who then receives 250 points for every friend who joins -- and the site requires an annual paid subscription ($30). The site does cover some mature topics such as drugs, but the videos are safe and there's a filter to catch inappropriate posts from users. Also, the goal is all about information and promoting all things positive: good health, self-esteem, managing money wisely, and the arts.

Educational value: Teens can learn about all kinds of things like financial responsibilities, art appreciation, and exercise.
Positive messages: Not applicable.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: There's an annual paid subscription ($30). DayZLoop.com also gives users points that can win them DayZLoop merch.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: The site's information makes it clear that drugs are bad.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about empowering girls. How can you build self-esteem? How can you become a more well-rounded person? What are the benefits of exercise besides strong muscles? Families can also discuss product-based referrals and what it means to ask friends to subscribe to an online service. Why isn't this site open to anyone?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
DayZLoop.com is fun; however, it's unclear if the site has fully encouraged its members to use it as their life portal. Some message boards haven't been posted to in over a year, and the blog -- written by one of the frequent video teen hosts -- hasn't been updated in months.
