What the press says about TheSite.org

"TheSite, run by the well-respected charity YouthNet UK and aimed at 16-to 25 year olds, is refreshingly non-preachy... Unlike the average teenager's room, the mine of information here is neatly organised and easily accessible from drop-down menus along the top of the screen or a right-hand panel...

TheSite also understands the effectiveness of interaction, and an excellent community section features young diarists, including a first-year student and single dad, vox pops and moderated message boards. Troubled teens have the option of anonymously posting questions for experts on the site, rather than initiating an excruciating American Pie-style chat with a parent."
The Sunday Times, Feb 04

"We love TheSite.org. We like their attitude, we like their sense of humour... Grab yourself some clued-up sensible advice..."
Breathe.com, Feb 03

"...if you need help you can access it straight away on TheSite.org..."
Daily Telegraph, July 02

"TheSite's campaigns constantly surprise and push the medium to the max."
New Media Age, June 02

"It (TheSite.org) had good information and advice and dealt with subjects other than acne and sex. The rants were brilliant, written by older teenagers, really sarcastic and telling it like it is."
Sunday Times, June 02

"TheSite.org is an excellent site with user-friendly advice, information and discussion boards..."
The Times, May 02
