Social shunning
Social shunning is not permitted on Animal Jam.
There are several social aspects to the game: first, you can request that someone become your “buddy.” That person may or may not accept your request. New members often get rejected as they don’t have any good stuff to trade with them (and their requests aren’t even read). But one tricky part for kids might be how often people are simply ignored when trying to make conversation.
Cool kids
Cool kids are usually the ones who go around and make stuff. They also tend to be the ones with good things to trade with other people. But they can also be mean, especially if they feel that their coolness is threatened by someone else’s coolness.
It’s hard to get into a game, but it’s a great place once you’re there!
Pros:
Lots of cool people, a great community, and lots of fun stuff to do and make
cons:
There are also a few other common misconceptions about Animal Jam.
Animal Jam is a game, not a real-life animal park. Animals do not need to be fed or watered. They do not get sick or die. It’s just like going to the zoo.
Animal Jam is not for kids. It’s for people who like animals!
