What are the differences between Second Life and Teen Second Life?

I just found out that there was such a thing as a Second Life for teenagers. I was looking around to see if my little cousin (well, not so little; he's 13) could play with me, and apparently you have to be 18 or older to join. Why is this? Why did they feel they had to make a separate game for younger kids? What are the main differences between the two games and do you think a separation is necessary? Which is more fun, Teen Second Life, or the original? Can an underage person get on Second Life, or will they be kicked out?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Second Life is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab that is accessible on the internet. It has a free client program called the Viewer which enable users that are called Residents to interact with each other through avatars. Residents have the ability to explore, meet other residents, socialize and participate in individual and group activities and create and trade virtual property and services with one another or travel throughout the world. Second Life is for those who are 18 years old.

Teen Second Life is a version of second life reserved for teenagers. It is running on the so-called "Teen Grid." It was officially opened to the public on February 14, 2005 for 13-17 years old. Teen Second Life's operating hours were increased to 24 hours a day from previous hours which starts at noon to 10 pm Pacific Time.

Second Life and Teen Second life are different in several ways:

1. Teen Second Life are transferred to Second Life if they turn 18. Those who are underage who violates the TOS by accessing Second Life will be restricted from accessing both sites.

2. Teen Second Life is comprised primarily of residents from the US and Canada due to restrictions intended to deter adult registration.

3. Teen Second Life is significantly smaller in the size in terms of database and the amount of land and concurrent Resident population at any given time.

Linden Lab created Second Life for adult users and Teen Second Life for younger users ages 13 to 17. The activity is strictly monitored in Teen Second Life so that the young users are safe from predators and inappropriate content.
