Chats and Forums

For your safety, it is recommended that you DO NOT give out your phone number, address, or any other personal information. Also, do not always believe what you hear in a chat room. If it is too good to be true..it probably is.

Do you know of a clean, user-friendly, and safe teen chat room that you feel should be listed here? Well..feel free to submit the url for review. Please only send your submission once. It will be reviewed as soon as possible. Only original chat rooms will be accepted. Those without any original content and simply linked to the same channel will be rejected. All entries which are added to the directory will be monitored very closely to ensure compliance with web site content rules. Thank you and have fun!
