BABY, BABY GO AWAY

Synopsis:  This video is an attempt to provide a glimpse of life as it really is for a teenage parent.

Kids have kids by accident, by choice, out of carelessness, and occasionally because they are misinformed or ignorant of how to use birth control.  Universally, they seem to be totally oblivious to what it is really like to have the day-in, day-out responsibility of caring for a child.  We hope that the kids who haven’t yet gotten pregnant or gotten anyone pregnant will pay attention and think before they act.

Crossing the Line into Sexual Harassment

“American Library Association Selected Video for Young Adults”

Synopsis:  HE’S SO FINE is the story of Danny, a high school boy who, along with his friends, routinely harasses girls in the familiar form of teasing based on subtle (and not so subtle) sexual innuendo.

In class, Danny falls asleep and has a dream in which the characteristic roles of the boys and the girls are now reversed.  The girls harass the boys and the boys now become the victims.  At first, Danny thinks the attention is great.  But soon he finds out that being sexually harassed makes him feel afraid and uncomfortable.  Through this experience Danny understands how his behavior affected Julie and the other girls at school and undergoes a transition in his thinking.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

Synopsis:  Sarah Seifer is an average-looking, healthy young teenager who is unhappy with her appearance.  In private fantasies, she sees herself in unflattering terms that bear no relationship to reality or to her friends’ perceptions of her.  When she develops a crush on Matthew, a cute boy at school, her dissatisfaction with her appearance becomes even more acute.  Her fantasy adventure helps her to discover the true meaning of self  esteem.

Synopsis:  The goal of HANDGUNS:  MADE FOR KILLING, NOT FOR KIDS is to show kids the dangers associated with handguns before they are confronted with the opportunity to handle or use a handgun.  The video uses three real-life cases to illustrate that guns are deadly and can lead to serious emotional, legal and physical consequences.
