Girls can learn about dealing with relationships, making decisions and handling the consequences by reading the comix and putting themselves in the shoes of the characters. Girls can also explore economics through fun activities that will help them succeed and browse through careers that they may not even know exist. Additionally, members can participate in polls, take quizzes, learn about online safety, participate in a number of forums on various topics of interest, read book reviews, submit their own writing for publishing, and much more.
