Questions to answer:
1.Would you consider this site to be teen friendly? (Some are not designed specifically for teens)
2.What questions, experiences, lived reality does this site speak to?
3.Look through the eyes of a young person…does this site provide space to be yourself?
To ask questions?
Does it hold you accountable for your thoughts?
Does it equip you to engage the world around you in thoughtful spiritual conversation?
Is there space to practice talking about spiritual matters?

We pomoworlded it.

1. We didn't see anything that made it not teen friendly.
2. It invites people who may not have a voice in other areas in their life. It seemed to be empowering,
3. As much as any internet space allows you to be yourself this one did. (presence is important.) You could post where you wanted and there was space to ask questions.
