GirlsHealth.Gov -- Be Healthy. Be Happy. Be You. Beautiful.

URL: GirlsHealth.gov
Creator: Office of Women's Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

This site offers comprehensive information about girls' health issues and is maintained by the Office of Women's Health.  I love this website.  It is very easy to navigate.  The information provided is easy to digest.  I love that it offers personal stories of kids who have experienced the various issues discussed.  I love that it gives factual and complete responses to questions about bodies, relationships, bullying, drugs and more; and that it offers links to other sources of help and information.  It's section on relationships is very valuable in that if offers advice on dealing with conflicts between girls and their friends, girls and their families, and girls and their boyfriends.  Oh, I almost forgot, I love that it has extensive information for Spanish speaking families.  Spanish speakers are given complete access as the entire website is well-translated.  It's amazing.  A very valuable resource for tween girls and anyone who works with them!
