when they were kids.
It's My Life is organized across six topic "channels": Friends, Family, School, Body, Emotions, and Money.
On this website, no subject is off-limits. Our aim is to cover issues important to you, and the site is filled with young people's comments, ideas, and questions sent in from all over the world. It's My Life is for kids, about kids, and most importantly, by kids. After all, it's YOUR life!
It's My Life is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through its Where Fun and Learning Click initiative to create safe, engaging, and educational online media for kids aged 9 to 12.
The site is produced by CastleWorks, Inc.
