Teen Corner Health Issues
Welcome to TeensHealth! TeensHealth was created for teens looking for honest, accurate information and advice about health, relationships, and growing up. We offer a safe, private place that's accessible 24 hours a day to get the doctor-approved info you need to understand the changes that you (or your friends) may be going through - and to make educated decisions about your life. There's a lot of confusing, misleading, and just plain wrong health information on the Web - and our mission is to tell it to you straight.
Created by The Nemours Foundation's Center for Children's Health Media, TeensHealth and KidsHealth provide teens and families with accurate, up-to-date, and jargon-free health information they can use. KidsHealth has been on the Web since 1995 and is the largest and most visited site on the Web providing doctor-approved health information about children from before birth through adolescence. KidsHealth has been accessed by about 250,000,000 visitors. On a typical weekday, more than 350,000 people access KidsHealth's reliable information.
KidsHealth has separate areas for kids, teens, and parents - each with its own design, age-appropriate content, and tone. There are literally thousands of in-depth features, articles, animations, games, and resources - all original and all developed by experts in the health of children and teens.
Physicians and other health experts review all content before it's published on KidsHealth. All content is re-reviewed on a regular basis (about every 1 to 3 years, or more frequently if needed). You can find the most recent review date and the name of the expert reviewer(s) at the end of each article.
