In this day and age, our children spend quite a bit of time online (just as we all seem to). Socializing seems to be the biggest draw but is it having positive effects on our kids? Sure, it's "what they do" but it appears to add a whole new dynamic to the popularity contest.

My daughter showed me a site she has been visiting and I was really impressed with it's overall theme. They have these "shows" where they talk about music, fashion, movies, and advice. The advice show was really interesting. They take questions from teens and answer them live. Some were serious questions, but they handled them all from a good place.

Maybe a site like this can be a positive influence for our kids in a time when everthing that is being shoved down their throats by the huge money making machines just seems to perpetuate the negative side of things. Their role models stink, the message in the hip hop music they listen to is not positive for the most part...

Take a look and see for yourself. I admire what they are doing and tell my friends to send their kids there.
