That's Not Cool.com: A Site for Teens Who Have Questions and Thoughts



Just saw a commercial on Saturday morning TV about teens and innappropriate texting. The commercial ended up saying that constantly texting your friends, especially your boyfriend or girlfriend, is "not cool". Then the commercial directed you to a site called thatsnotcool.com. So, I went to the site and did some exploring and found the site had lots to offer our middle school and high school teens. When I clicked on topics like Rumors or Textular Harrassment, they had great submitted questions with great answers from both experts and from other students. If a student has questions about how to handle a difficult issue at school and they cannot reach their counselor, this website might be a possible option to do some research. And maybe an option to submit some of their own strategies as answers. There are other sites out there like this one, but this one is definitely a good one for a student to explore and try more.
