About
Kids as Critics is for us, by us. It's a new creative space for "kids" 9 to 18. KaC is definitely safe, the adult world made sure of it. It's our place to connect, discuss ideas, opinions, and to tell the world how we see it. Give us your opinions on Movies, TV, Music, Books, Theater, Sports, Gaming, Comics, Food, Art, Fashion, Politics, etc. etc. We have important opinions, we know what's great and what's not. So, let’s get out there, be critics and let the world know what we think. The more posts you create, the higher your personal ranking will be, and if you're really passionate, you can be a guest blogger or a moderator!
BTW adults are not allowed to post (though they may read what you have to say). This really is For us, By us, so tell KaC what you think, and help build it into exactly what you want it to be. Also, check out my blog, take some polls, and tell your friends to join! More people = more opinions = opening your eyes to new things! -sophia
