Linden Lab staff can be spotted in-world with the last name Linden and the title Liaison. Liaisons are always reachable via our in-world Instant Messaging feature.
We encourage you to become involved in your teen’s Second Life experience. Ask them to show you around the world and to keep you informed about their in-world social and creative activities. Because only authorized adults are allowed in Teen Second Life, we do ask that you not actively operate your teen’s avatar yourself. However, if you enjoy your experience with your teen you are welcome to visit Second Life’s separate world for adults where you can have an avatar and account of your own.
Linden Lab is committed to providing a safe online environment for its teen residents. Teen Second Life will always be staffed with Liaison coverage during open hours. You can help your teen stay safe by teaching them never to reveal any personally identifying real life information while they are online. Read Linden Lab’s Online Safety Tips for more suggestions about how to communicate safely online.
The Teen Second Life Community Standards apply to all teen community areas of Second Life, the Teen Second Life Forums, and the Teen Second Life Website. You should also take a look at the Terms of Service for more information about other actions that could result in account suspension or banning.
At Linden Lab, we value your support and are committed to protecting your teen’s privacy. We take precautions to make this site and the Teen Second Life virtual world safe environments for users. To learn more, please check our Privacy Policy.
We ask for your e-mail address so that we can send password reminders, and account information as needed. If it is necessary to issue your teen an official Account Strike Notification, you will also receive it via email. We also offer you the ability to request up-to-date Account Activity summary information. In the future, Linden Lab will offer an opt-in newsletter to Teen Second Life Residents and their parents.

The Second Life world for adults is an exciting and attractive place, and some teens may be tempted to try to access it. However, the adult Second Life world is just that: adult. It is not intended for minors, and some of the content is geared toward mature users over 18 years of age. Linden Lab is committed to providing a secure environment for teen residents in Teen Second Life; to that end, violators of the adults-only policy of Second Life may face suspension and permanent ban from Second Life.
A Premium Teen Second Life account, starting at $9.95 a month, allows your teen to acquire land on which they can build, display, entertain and live. Visit Virtual Land to learn more about purchasing land in Teen Second Life.
The Land Use Fee is a monthly charge for the peak amount of Second Life land held during the previous 30 days in excess of the 512 square meter allowance granted with a Premium Account. The fee is tiered, and discounted as you acquire more land. When purchasing new land, you will be alerted if the new acquisition moves you into a higher tier requiring a greater monthly land use fee.
