About Us
Mission Statement
The purpose of Purple Pyjamas is to provide an opportunity for tweens, teens, and young adults to meet, discuss topics of interest to them, share experiences, and learn from each other. We offer a place for you to laugh, vent, express yourself, and cure boredom. We are a community with a sense of comfort and coziness where our visitors can relax and be themselves!
The Concept
The concept is to allow visitors to contribute material to just about every page on the site, to give them the opportunity to edit their own page, and to get as silly or as serious as they want.
Our language and topics reflect the general interests of guys and girls who have the maturity to handle open discussions about a variety of subjects. While we discourage gratuitous cussing, we do permit what we call "locker room" language. We encourage controversy, but hateful thoughts will not be permitted. We expect essays and short stories to be well written, but PurplePJs is not a literary site. Your participation is welcomed even if your writing skills aren't the greatest. We're more interested in sincerity and passion in your stories and comments than in grammar or spelling. However, we do ask that you try your best when submitting material as selection for publication includes readability.
