It’s Not Okay: Speaking Out Against Youth Violence
On Order - Please check LEO, Library Catalog for updates.

In this provocative program, high school students offer a teen perspective on violence and its day-to-day impact at school, at home, and in the community. Opposed to the violence of which they have been a part, these young men and women speak their minds on topics including the causes of violent behavior, the effects of dysfunctional families, bullying and mob mentality, and the fear of being killed going to and from school. School administrators, mental health professionals, and other adults second the teens’ pleas for greater parental support, an end to media stereotypes, and overall social change. Some language may be objectionable. (40 minutes)

Teenage Tycoons

JMU Media Resources DVD 4310

Princeton, N.J. : Films Media Group, 2007
1 DVD (30 min.)

Children still dream of becoming firefighters or astronauts—and many parents still nudge their offspring toward professions like doctor or lawyer. However, an increasing number of young people view freewheeling entrepreneurship as a valid career choice—and enjoy solid parental endorsement along the way. This program reports on successful ventures undertaken by kids as young as 10 using the same resources most adult-owned start-ups make use of: their brains, their sweat, and the Internet. While support from mom and dad is also a factor, the film clearly shows that children can profit from businesses far above and beyond the lemonade stands of yesteryear.
