- Other
Youth Web Sites
The following links access web sites for teens:
- www.breakupgirl.com
- Can't sleep because you just broke up with your
boyfriend? Get some great advice and tons of laughs at
this chic-n-cheeky girly site. We love the design, the feature
stories and music reviews. Click on BG's essays (at the bottom of
the homepage) for the lowdown on love gone wrong.
- www.brunching.com/toys/toy-test.html
- Maybe you can't sleep because you're really angry with
your boyfriend. Take your aggression out the Alanis way and write
a song - or let this Web site do it for you! Type in
one thing you really hate, six plural nouns, the name of an ex and
your fave color and poet, choose from three song titles and hit
the "You Oughtta Submit" button. Voila! You've got one
cool way to vent.
- www.collegeboard.org
- This is THE site for college student hopefuls. Register for
the SAT. Check out the "SAT Question of the Day." Wonder
how much money you'll be spending? Find out here. Fill
out a financial aid profile that gets sent to colleges who like to
dole out the moolah for smart would-be students. Do a scholarship
search. Do a college search. Home schooled? There's a
section for you too. OK, we made our point.
- www.collegeedge.com
- No, you don't pick a college because it was ranked the top party
institution. Anyway, a recent study found that the majority of '97
freshman based their college choices on rep. Go here to figure out
what college is best for you and for tips on choosing or getting
noticed by a college recruiter.
- countingdown.com/fans
- Get links and reviews of sites that Webmaster Glen Gower finds
amazing (in a really bad way). Some winners in the last year
include a site about Dawson's Creek, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alicia
Silverstone, the Backstreet Boys and Leonardo DiCaprio. Nominate a
site you find excessive.
- www.cyberfilmschool.com
- Forget watching movies. Why not learn to make
them? Here you'll find forums, filmmaking discussions
and interesting interviews with top film people, including a
recent interview with the screenwriter of Mummy. Also check out
the news and the screenwriting/directing book and software
reviews.
- www.digitalclubfest.com
-
This site is like the online version of MTV (when they really
cared about the music). New shows are cybercast every night from
venues 'round the world. And you can dip into their archives every
day for events that have already been broadcast. Their mega music
fest, the largest online, held in July included grovers like Bush
and Mary Lou Lord.
- www.doodie.com
- Former Simpson animator and movie actor Tom Winkler has one sick
mind, but it's fun to see what pops (er, no pun intended) out and
into his daily poop cartoons - total potty humor.
- dsp.berkeley.edu/slcGramHotline.html
-
Margi's Grammar Hotline. Pssst! Some writers have been known to
use this one. This site rocks because you can type in a sentence
and ask Margi what she thinks of your grammar. She'll respond to
your question via e-mail and even give you a URL to check out
for more information.
- www.hamsterdance.com
- Watch various cartoon rodents as they dance to a sickeningly
sweet "Didi-di-dot-doh-doh-doh doh-doh-doh, bi-dot do-di-do"
country tune. It's too oddly cute to pass up.
- www.homeworkhelper.com
- This site is for the serious scholar. Enter a question and the
search engine will look through thousands of magazines, maps,
books, newspapers and news wires, television transcripts and
pictures. We did a search on bras and it spat out 30 recent
sources, including a TV clip of Monica Lewinsky. Too good to be
true? Yup. You can get 30 days free, but eventually
you'll have to pay 10 bucks a month or $60 a year.
-
www.huckleberryyouth.org
is a community-based agency founded on the belief that adolescence
is a turbulent time during which many young people are at risk for
life-threatening crises. These crises include drug and alcohol
addiction, physical and sexual abuse, emotional illness, physical
illness (including HIV infection), family breakdown, homelessness,
delinquency and suicide. Our mission is to provide adolescents in
San Francisco and Marin counties of California the highest quality
of services along a continuum of care ranging from prevention to
crisis intervention to stabilization and growth. Core beliefs
underlying our services include respect for the racial, ethnic and
cultural diversity of our clients, recognition of the value and
dignity of young people and acknowledgement of their potential to
become healthy, responsible adults. "Teen Tuesday" from 2-5pm for
ages 12-21, free and confidential reproductive health services.
These include male and female exams, STI and pregnancy tests,
birth control methods, health education, case management and
counseling. 415.258.4944 or 888.548.3367 for an appointment.
- www.jayi.com/jayi
- This is the hippest college help site. You can create a profile
that will be sent to colleges (now or later) and includes your
academic honors, school sports and activities/clubs info.
(Warning: Take this very seriously - the college
decision-makers do.) We dig the Dear Admissions Guru
the most. You can scroll through other's questions, like "How does
the ACT compare to the SAT? Does it really matter which
test is taken?" or ask the guru your very own Q. You'll
get a detailed response. Nice!
- www.kaplan.com
- Are you a party animal or scolar? One of Kaplan's
many feature articles will tell you how to balance social life and
academics. Check out the polls and learn why people pick the
colleges they do. Or jump on over to the career portion if you
still don't know what you want to be (will you ever?).
- www.kissthisguy.com
- We've all done this: belted out the lyrics to a song and were
mortified to learn from a friend standing nearby that we had 'em
all wrong. This site is all about that and is truly hilarious - we
were LOLing for hours. Choose by song or artist and then read the
confessions. Don't forget to share your lyric mishaps.
- www.marblehead.com/guidance/students.htm
- This site's for high school students only. (How very VIP of
them!) The nice thing about it is that you can get
advice on how to study certain subjects. Making ZZZ's instead of
learning about H2O in chemistry class? Click on the
university professor of chemistry's study tips. You can also take
some online lessons and tutorials by subject.
- members.tripod.com/~former_child_star
- So you thought being a child star was all glam? Think
again. This sight follows the child stars from the '70s and '80s
who have all grown up. It features sightings, news, interviews and
links. There's also a tribute to Different Strokes actress Dana
Plato, who just died of a drug OD at age 34 - all three child
actors from that show got into drugs and trouble. Won't it be
interesting to see what happens to '90s child stars?
- njnie.dl.stevens-tech.edu/curriculum/aska.html
- Ask the expert page. It's no joke. They really do use experts.
We clicked on history and one of the experts we could send our
questions to was a Holocaust survivor. And if you suck at math, go
to Dr Math and get tons of help from the archives or submit a
question. Answers are sent as late as four to six weeks.
- www.officialdarwinawards.com
- Learn how not to die by reading about people who "removed
themselves from the gene pool in the most spectacular
fashion." Basically, it's a site about people who did
really stupid things, like a man who tied 42 helium-filled
balloons onto his lawn chair, and floated up in the way of
airplanes. (Ed. - They were all probably into No
Fear t-shirts.)
- www.onnow.com
- Just feel like chatting? This site has an up-to-date
list of most chats and online events happening on the Web. See
what's on now, what's on always, what's on later and what chats
are too hot to miss.
- www.rainfrog.com/mishacat/
- Any cat can take a dump in the litter box. Train yours to squat
gracefully on the porcelain throne. Learn about Misha, the amazing
potty-trained feline, then click on the FAQ link for instructions
on taking Fluffy to the bowl.
- www.rocketcash.com
- Wanna count dollars instead of sheep? Have Mom and
Dad establish your allowance online so you can shop your way to a
sweet sleep. Get books, CDs, sneakers and clothes any time you
need to.
- www.skinema.com
- Find everything you wanted to know, and didn't want to know,
about celebrities' skin conditions on and off screen. Choose from
"Skin conditions used to convey evil," "Actors with skin
conditions" and "Realistic depiction of skin
findings." Truly bizarre.
- www.slanguage.com
- Teachers say it's important to learn other languages. Um, does
"slanguage" count (and could a foreign land be the state next
door?)? Learn slang from places like London, England
(that's the badger - that's wonderful); Sydney, Australia
(eggnisher - air conditioner); and Denver, Colorado (gorby -
not-so-good snowboarder).
- www.slc.uga.berkeley.edu/CalRENHP.html
- Not only do the folks from one of the nation's top universities
(that'd be U.C. Berkeley) give you tips on when to study and how
to deal with procrastination, but they also break test-taking down
into general, essay, problem-solving and objective categories. And
then there's the "learning by listening" and the "effective
note-taking" sections. You'll have no excuses after you log off
this site.
- www.sonicnet.com
- Enter tons of contests (like win a computer or a surfboard) and
get music news. We like the FlashRadio/Visual Radio of pop,
alternative, hip hop and DJ shows in the Internet Radio
Guide. You can also access 24-hour channels and a list of upcoming
events (and use AutoReminder to get to your event on time).
- www.startribune.com/education/homework/shtml
- Get homework help. Ink you questions and then get into this
Minneapolis-St. Paul newspaper's brain by clicking on the
different parts: literature, social studies, science, math,
languages, etc. First do a search and make sure your answer isn't
already posted. Nowhere in sight? Submit it. The
newsies say their goal is to answer questions in 24 hours or less
(the perfect site for the due-date challenged).
- www.submix2.com/tvmusic
- We love this site because it's so practical: How many times
have you watched an episode of PO5 and thought, "What's that song
they're playing? I must have it!" You'll find
soundtrakcs from all your fave shows on this site.
- Under 18 write for the under 18, www.everythingcool.com
- flipzone.com
is a collaborative website intended to build parent-child and
teacher-student relationships by helping kids teach grownups (what
makes computers cool". Learn how to email friends, join in
chatrooms and even build homepage. Adults get an inside look at
kids' concerns and the site is meant to empower kids by letting
them take responsiblity and initiative in informing the adults in
their lives about what interests them.

- Urban Leadership Institute. The Center provides a
comprehensive program specifically designed to be implemented with
African American males ages 10-17. The Dare To Be King
Curriculum & Training Program represents the cornerstone of
the Center’s work with males. The model features a 270-page
Curriculum which includes an intensive three-day outdoor
experience for adolescent African American males. The Dare To Be
King Model is designed to challenge males to confront the never
ending journey of manhood and the responsibility of creating our
lives by design, not by default. The Curriculum focuses on
addressing anger, impulse control and decision-making. Each
session provides activities that address issues ranging from youth
critically examining the lives of slain rappers like Tupac Shakur
and Biggie to dealing with incidents around confronting a "bully"
in school. www.urbanyouth.org
