Just for Teens

[alede]

I am designing/making a new website. The website will be aimed at people from 12-17 basically you can come on and like have a chat, play games, view the forum, watch some videos.

Basically I need help on things that teenagers would enjoy.

Here's a small list of things I am having.

1. Different colour layout for girls and boys.
2. Specific things for girl and boys. (example- Girl: Make UP, Fashion. Boys: Sports, Console games) (All can see these topics to, I ain't being sexist. Just aimed at there gender.)
3. Forum
4. Games page
5. Things to do page. (Give you ideas on what you can do today or a day in the future.)
6. Chat
7. Social Network
8. Video/Photo sharing


Basically just looking for like some new ideas. I am open for suggestions.


I need you advice on this:

Would it be a good idea to contact schools to try and advertise the site via the school?
Yes/No


Is this a good idea?
Yes/No

What can I add to the site so that schools will think its good for the pupils?

Is there a way I can have like an organiser for the teens to keep on track with Homework and School stuff?



I am currently in the designing stage I am taking it slow as I don't want errors on the release. I am looking for people if you are interested in helping out with coding/ advertising.

I do need as many ideas as I can have. I ain't advertising the site as I know it will take around 6 months to do everything. But basically I want Version 1 to be like finished without have to do any updates and that. Obviously the minor updates like adding some cool features. but no major updates which involve the site lcosing ofrl ike a week or so.


Please reply with your ideas.

I think it's unfair to aim Sports and Consoles at boys. There are thousands and thousands of female sports personalities!

Well each gender can see the other genders categories. Also there will be women sports on there also.

We all saw how successful ClubTropica was so I would be careful about investing too much time in a concept like this.

Nice idea, not sure about the seperate sections for gender though. i was going to aim todo something like this a while back, think i bought the domain and everything, never had the patience to follow it up though. good luck :)

the gender section just seem like a massive play on gender stereotypes. I don't like that idea at all. I prefer sports and console gaming anyways..

If that idea was taken out it seems like a good concept, but there are so many sites similar to this out there.

Could you provide the links to them please. My re search team did not find anything similar.

for example bebo? that has the majority of the things listed above and appeals to a teenage audience.

in my opinion it just ounds like another social network site? :-P
