KidsHealth.org. Produced by The Nemours Foundation, KidsHealth.org is really three sites in one, with each section written and designed differently to appeal to its target audience. The Parents section offers all sorts of guidance on keeping children healthy and caring for them when they get sick. The Kids section features games and other activities; and the Teens page links to articles about the Body (Finding the Right Bra, Why Exercise is Wise), Mind (Binge Eating, Depression), Sexual Health (All About Menstruation) and Drugs & Alcohol (Are Steroids Worth the Risk?).
TOLERANCE.ORG. This site is full of ideas on how to fight discrimination and bigotry. Read the articles to learn ways you can battle hate and promote tolerance where you live and work. The Teens tab links to Mix It Up, home base for student activists working to break down social barriers. Articles in the For Parents section suggest ways to talk to the kids about same-sex marriage, gender-bashing and other issues.
DARKNESS2LIGHT.ORG. This site contains
information on child abuse prevention.
