the problem:

Last year I won several awards for a psa (video public service announcement) that I did for seatbelt use. This year I have been brainstorming and with a group of kids that have taken video journalism at their high schools, we plan to put out a series of teen-made public service announcements about problems close to us.

Update:

Since June, Brittany’s seatbelt PSA has won 4 national awards and is a finalist in the Kids Helping Kids festival in Naples, Florida, and her cyber-bullying PSA took first place at the FSPA district competition. Currently, People PSAs have several other topics that they are working on such as date rape, sexual harassment and under age drinking.
