Teen-Net.Com to Launch Web Guide For Teens

Posted on October 16, 1998

Teen-Net.com, a website for teens, has marked its second anniversary with a re-design. Teen-Net's goal is to make surfing the Net much easier and enjoyable for teens by aggregating content daily from specially selected sites such as ESPN, SonicNet, and Eonline, making them aware of special Web events, and providing links to thousands of teen related sites, homepages, and photos in its twelve channels (Music, Sports, Movies, TV, Dating, Gamers, Teen Database, Fashion, Cool Sites, S.Y.M.O.N, Chat Zone, and S.O.S.).

Frank Maris, the Producer of Teen-Net, says, "Teens are the most neglected group on the Net. Not one of the top 25 sites frequented by teens was created exclusively for them," adding, "Enter the word "teen" in any search engine and the query will most likely result in an inordinate number of pornography sites."

Teen-Net will now provide a wealth of material to help teens deal with the many problems confronting them. With the assistance of prominent organizations such as The National Mental Heath Association, and The Partnership for a Drug Free America and others, Teen-Net allows teens to discover for themselves how to deal with difficult situations in a comfortable environment before seeking damaging alternatives. One of the ways Teen-Net is helping teens is by giving them their own forum where they can seek advice from professional organizations as well as their peers.
