TeenSphere-an App for Teens

Posted by Dr. Dave Walsh • December 12, 2011

Hi Dr. Dave,

I recently ran across a new app called TeenSphere. Are you familiar with it? What do you think of it?

Thanks,

Barb,

Thanks for tipping me off about TeenSphere. I was not aware of it until you asked. I have downloaded the app and have taken a TeenSphere tour. I like it a lot. It provides solid information about a lot of important topics that  teens wonder/worry about. The information is clear and straightforward and the writers avoid the type of lecturing and preaching that teens can’t stand. It also provide links to other sites that teens can visit for more information.

Adolescence can be a pretty confusing time, and teens often have a lot of questions that they are embarrassed to ask out loud. TeenSphere gives them a confidential, private and anonymous way to get information. I hope that creators of Teen Sphere keep building it out since there are a lot more topics they could include.

Here's a YouTube tour of TeenSphere
