This site bravely tackles some of the serious issues faced by teens who engage in inappropriate, risk-taking behavior. Click on "Real Choices" for a series of interactive videos that involve students in real-life decision making and allow them to see the consequences of their choices. The "Keep it Reel" feature, a collection of short films produced by teens, focuses on some common problems experienced by young people and provides suggestions for coping with them. Warning: the "What is Trauma?" link contains some graphic images, so use with caution.
