Great site, especially for teenagers between thirteen and sixteen. It has
lots of helpful tips on hair loss, wigs, skin care and appearance.

'chatty'.

mission of Cancer Source Kids is to be a secure site where children can
learn about cancer in a fun and interactive manner.

This site is very informative, and is funny too! It was written by a
teenager with Hodgkin's who's been through chemo, radiotherapy and stem cell
rescue.
For Teens Only
From the Memorial Sloan Kettering Pediatric Oncology page.

and is open to kids up to age 20. It's 2 Kids, 4 Kids, By Kids!
