GirlGeeks.com

This site is dedicated to females and technology. It contains information on mentors, community, training, and careers, Even though the site calls for girl geeks, it's aimed for young women in their 20's and 30's. If you're a technology geek this site was tailored to you with chats, surveys, and even how to help or start your career. But if you score low on the Geek-o-Meter there's books to buy, courses to take, people to talk to and even a Q&A. Don't be intimidated by the internet acronyms and difficult words. These women know that not everyone was born with a computer in their hand. There are various chats and live webcasts to participate in and even a Geek-of-the-Week to build up to. All in all it's a great site but it seems to have community built for the girl geek.

An in formative site for teens, written, directed, designed by teens. This is an exceptional place filled with articles and (don't be scared) essays on interesting topics concerning young adults. It is well written by youth journalists and supervised by an adult. Themes range from alcoholism and racism to a girl's daily life. If your interested in insightful opinions on subjects other than dating and shopping this is a wonderful website. It deserves to be recognized as something outside of the stereotypical plot.
