Teen Second Life was a version of Second Life reserved for teenagers, running on the so-called "Teen Grid." It was officially opened to the public on February 14, 2005 for people aged 13–17 to use Second Life, without entering false information to participate in Second Life (reserved for people aged 18 and over). On January 1, 2006, Teen Second Life's operating hours were increased to 24 hours a day, whereas it was previously open only from noon to 10 pm Pacific Time.

There is a protest group on the main grid named Teen Grid Supporters (c) who sometimes go around the mainland getting the "Lindens" attention. The group's aim is to get Linden Lab to reopen Teen Second Life. Age Teen Second Life users were transferred to Second Life once they turned 18, taking all content and private islands with them.
