I was surfing YouTube the other day and I found this great video:

The PSA is great because it gives an overview of topics that we hear about a lot on calls and chats, and stresses the fact that these situations are no less serious or dangerous because the people in the relationships are teens.

The video was produced by pre-teen, and teenage women participating in the Reel Grrls program, an after school program to get youth involved in media. Way to go, Reel Grrls, keep up the socially conscious work!

If you’re a high school student living in Tennessee, take note. The Somebody Say Something! Video Contest, sponsored by the Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, has extended their entry deadline to August 15.

Videos should challenge others to get involved in ending dating abuse issues in their community and can be up to two minutes long. Check out their website for more information and the complete rules. Winners to be announced in Fall 2008. We can’t wait to see them!
