Description of website:
"It's My Life" is an exciting new online destination for "tweens"-- kids aged 8 to 12. This entertaining, informative, and media-rich site deals with real life and the problems all kids face. Topics addressed range from handling divorce to getting teased by bullies; from fighting with friends to learning about drugs, alcohol, and smoking; from depression and grief to dealing with a pesky younger sibling. When tweens go to "It's My Life", they're able to read stories, watch video clips of other kids talking about their feelings and experiences, play games and activities, take quizzes and polls, get advice from older kids and experts, and contribute their own comments and questions. "It's My Life" also features interviews with celebrities about their own experiences with the tween years.
