Social networking sites for 12 year olds??

K, so i'm 12 years old and comeing on 13 and i want to know if there is any safe social networking sites for 12 year olds.... MySpace, Bebo and loads of other sites i know have an age limit like 14 and 17.... are there any other sites for ages 12 and over??





Thanx,

Social networking sites for 12 year olds??
Well,


MatMice (http://matmice.com/) is pretty cool for the 8+ crowd. It's very similar to Myspace but a lot safer. The only thing is that you have to be "invited" to join. I would be happy to invite you, or there is a place on their site where one of the founders can send you an invitation. Another idea would be the A Girls World Online PenPal Club (http://members.agirlsworld.com/index.htm... It's 12.00 a year but is very safe and fun. I met one of my BFFs there, and she lives in England. Good Luck!





EDIT: I just looked around and I'm not sure if you can get an invite or not. Like I said, feel free to email me if you'd like an invite from me.
Reply:You could try Facebook, if you're 12 almost 13 you must be in 7th grade so Facebook would be good for you.
Reply:whatever you do; dont lie and make a myspace or anything like that. --it can be very dangerous for such a young girl. be careful and if there is nothing stick to email.
Reply:no there isn't (if anything it is worse)

You can always call your local library for more suggestions.





You can check out:


Webkinz: http://www.webkinz.com/





Club Penguin: http://clubpenguin.com/





I've also heard GIA- http://giaonline.com but all I know about it is that you create a cartoon person for you character and explore around and talk to other "people".


REMEMBER though that any person can pass themselves as a kid on any kids site. So always keep a eye out for "wierd" comments
Reply:No but at your age, try www.disney.com as it is in your age group.
Reply:If you want a clean and child/parent friendly site go for Xivio! Xivio is a wonderful virtual world with filtered chat, games and contests hosted by both users and Guardians. Xivio is free or you can buy a premium membership. However you don't feel as though you are severely lacking like other sites if you're not premium. You can win premium items during the games and contests and you earn vio=xivio currency just by staying online in Xivio.





You also can win random vio awards. This site is monitored by live Guardians aka Moderators, contains a word filter and has parental controls.





They also have a Hompy which stand for Homepage and similar to a Myspace page only family friendly. You can load music, videos, and pictures to personalize the page in your own way. This too is free.





Xivio also contains parental controls much like the tv rating system that lets parents adujust their childs account to the level they feel to be right for their child.
