First, this is a total ripoff of Post Secret and anyone who misses that is deluding themselves. Second, it seems to be treading in some potentially icky territory. Consider:
"I know it's SUPER HORRIBLE, but I'm attracted when a boy talks about his "private parts" I feel all sick inside. I'm discusted at myself. "
Something tells me there are going to be just as many sick adults trolling this site as tween girls.
There is a teen post secret book which I haven't read but is supposedly quite good - but it seems like going for the tween age group and asking them to post on line is just....well, it's icky. I was sent an email on this from one of those PR firms that I can't seem to free myself from and when I looked at the site there was a big entry about a girl getting her period at school and just....
Ugh.
This seems wrong on many levels. I can't see any kind of upside to it for the girls. I'd love to know whose idea it was, and what on earth they honestly (and I do mean "honestly") thought they were going to accomplish.

Hoo, yeah, that was my FIRST thought: Post Secret is already a copyrighted book, etc. etc. -- so where does one draw the line at plagiarizing an idea? AND exploiting children's secrets for site content is reprehensible. Period.
