Title: Neopets
By: Lauren Chu

This site is very addicting. Anyone can tell you that. It's pretty cool for a few months and then you stop liking it. I dont know why but i'd rate it a 3.5. In Neopets, you have a choice of taking care of 1 to 3 pets. It's almost like a tamagotchi or gigapet. You have to feed it, play with it,earn money for it, and play games. Time is horribly consumed by this site. However, in a way, it does help little children learn about different types of careers in an exciting way. Children may not know it, but they are learning things that happen in the real world. They have many "worlds" you are able to traverse. Theres a water world, a winter world, a dark world,etc. Sometimes your able to catch faeries that bless your neopets with an ability. But that rarely happens. Neopets has its very own "Neotimes" which is like a newspaper to read on-going events in the site. Its mainly Updates in a from of disguise.There are also contents for poetry,stories, and designs. Every month, the pick the 5 best and put them in the Hall of Fame. Its a one in a million chance,however, due to the number of players who attend the contest.
The site URL is Neopets.com


In Neopets, they try to get you to join their sponsores and affiliates.

Neopoints is the currency in Neopets. The more neopoints you have, the more things you can buy. They have an online store also where you can buy neo caps and neo shirts. Its pretty cool.

In the beginning, it looked like an ordinary site, but dont be fooled, it's more than that. I used to play Neopets sooo much. I actually earned up to 320,000 neopoints until I stopped caring. Try it if you want. My best friend plays this so much and she's still not tired of it. Did I tell you they have their own little stock market and theme park? In neopets, you can have many "careers" such as becoming a seller, a fighter, a business person,etc. They also give neomail and the ages differ. Adults as well as kids seem to love it. Shop Wizards are also there to help you find essential items for your pet as well as markets. You can build homes and buy furniture for your neopets. Faerie World is my favorite place. I guess its because its fantasy and I love fantasy. They also provide selections of paint to make your pet look more attractive. There are many things to do there and I suggest you should try it. Believe me it's worth it.
