Drugs & Alcohol and Your Choice:
True to life scenarios describe the consequences of using over-the-counter and prescription drugs, alcohol and marijuana. A teen host explains how drugs affect everyone’s bodies differently – and every drug needs to be taken seriously. This program shows the serious and life threatening consequences caused by abusing drugs and the power of choice

There’s Always Help: Suicide Prevention
At some point everyone goes through very stressful and anxious situations. Those experiences can be very hard to cope with and lead to feelings of extreme sadness, anger and depression.Sometimes teens may feel like their situations are hopeless and think that one way to get relief from the bad feelings is to escape through suicide. What this program will discuss: the warning signs of suicide, what students can do to help prevent it, and how to cope with suicide.

Gay, Straight and Accepted
Life can get confusing for adolescents when they begin to develop sexual attractions. Through the perspective of a straight teenager, we meet students coming to terms with how they feel and dealing with the anxiety of ‘coming out’. First viewers are introduced to Noel, who became extremely depressed because she did not know how to deal with being a lesbian. Then we meet Sam, who is a victim of homophobic harassment, that he overcomes by building a support team. In the end, students will realize that sexual orientation should not be isolating.
