BLACK
TEENAGER.COM
www.blackteenager.com
If you have teenagers
in your family or have teenage friends,
you'll find Black Teenager.com
an outstanding Web site. I think they'll
enjoy the colorful layout and ease
in manipulating through the site.
Black Teenager.com
provides educational information and
allows visitor interaction on current
subjects. The BT Teen Council and
a team of health, fitness and medical
experts provide the content for the
site. A click on Kickin it
will take you to a page about celebrities.
Looking & Feeling Good
presents you with information about
appearance and building self-esteem.
Getting Ahead includes information
about college, scholarships, technology
and more. Diversity is the
section that covers race and ethnicity,
including news. Other sections are
Sports, Sex Ed and Fun/Games. Questions
and concerns may be posted to Sister
Sage, an expert advisor. Black
Teenager.com also has a chatroom
and a bulletin board. I think a shopping
mall will soon open. (We'll let you
know.)
