Report on Design a SmartGirl Character Just Like You!
Smart girls decide for themselves™.
What is our average SmartGirl like? That is what we were wondering when we wrote this survey. We want to develop a SmartGirl character that is as much like our Smartgirls as possible! Out of 512 SmartGirls that took this survey, 490 were girls; 9 were boys, and 13 did not check either sex. Take a look at all the results to learn about the looks, hobbies and dreams of your fellow SmartGirls!

Does it seem like there are too many responses to this question as compared to other questions on the survey? That's because survey-takers could pick more than one box to show what make-up they wear!

SmartGrls sure do like traveling! SmartGrls have been to every continent (except Antartica--brrrr!!). When you are looking at this graph, keep in mind that this question allowed for multiple answers. That means one SmartGirl could have traveled everywhere, and her vote would be counted many times!

How would you describe SmartGirl to people around the world? What would your SmartGirl slogan be? What would you change about SmartGirl? What would you absolutely keep the same?
When asked these questions, there were all kinds of responses! Here are a few:
|
SmartGirl is a place where young and old girls and explore and take surveys, polls, anything that a girl needs to know about themselves. My SmartGirl slogan would be "Be a SmartGirl not a DumbGirl!!" I don't think I would change anything about SmartGirl, it's already great. I would keep everything the same about SmartGirl.
|
SmartGirl is a great site for young woman to go to learn, have fun, and speak out. With surveys, reviews, polls, etc. girls are sure to have a lot of fun! SmartGirl is a site that represents girls in a positive image. Some things that I would propose SmartGirl changes is that they update surveys more often, and that there are several writing prompts a month, instead of one. It's very easy to get excited waiting for a new survey or creative writing prompt! Overall, SmartGirl is an excellent site where girls can share their views on everything from books and movies, to the world!
I'd describe SmartGirls as intelligent and unique. Because if you're intelligent, girls can make the right decisions in life and if you are unique you will have the courage to stand out from the crowd and do what you think is right. Because there's nothing more important than being happy in ones choices in life. My SmartGirl slogan would be ''Follow your heart and you will be happy,'' it's simple and true, I think. And try and make SmartGirl more widely known but really I don't think I would change a thing about this website as it gives every oppurtunity for SmartGirls around the world to speak their minds!!!x x x x x
