Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, blah, blah, blah! We have been
walloped with the need to use any (or for some of us-All) of these social media
outlets for our ranting’s, musing, tirades, oh, yeah, and to provide some
information that is actual helpful, to the masses!
But how safe are those social media’s for our girls? We have
all heard or seen the damage that can occur from improper use of these outlets.
Yes, we should be doing more as parents, but a lot of us just are not going to
do that, now are we?
With that being said, my 14 year old niece came across a social
networking site that is safe for our girls. www.liv2bgirl.com
is designed for girls ages 8-14. This site has partnered with the National
Bullying Prevention Center to aid in promoting awareness and the prevention of
bullying. Our girls can blog; they can connect with their friends; play games, and
they can use the chat features too. They can also report negative activity on
the site as well.
One of the great things about this site is that when they
sign up, they have to use their parents email address. The parent then has to
go in and activate the account. This features helps our girls stay safe by
allowing the parents to know where (and how) their time is being spent on the
net.
www.liv2bgirl.com
features celebrities that have made positive contributions that our girls can
read about. This is a little about what
live2bgirl says about their newest “feature girl”. Liv2BGirl's featured girl is 22-year-old
Sophie Clarke from New York won "Survivor: South Pacific" this last
season. Clarke learned to be confident in herself through her experience in Girl
Scouting. Clarke is a Gold Award recipient from Girl Scouts of Northeastern New
York. In a world where the Kardashians (not saying they don’t have positives
too!) is what our girls see and aspire too, I think they could use a little
help!
So have your girl check out the site to see just how great
it is. You never know, our girls might turn a little positivity in their lives, into a big
change for our world!
