Take your best shot at preventing teen drinking
By MADD | February 8, 2012| 6 Comments | Filed in: Underage Drinking

Underage drinking is not cool, and we are counting on the teens across America to prove that through our Power of You(th) video contest.

MADD is asking teens to take a stand and create a short video to encourage their peers to avoid drinking alcohol and never get in a car with someone who's been drinking.  The top five finalists will each win a new iPad and a spot in our National Teen Influencer Group made up of teens from across the nation interested in helping tackle this problem.

Teens:  You have the power to influence your friends and make an impact in your school, home and community. The Power of You(th) is the power you hold to save some of the 6,000 lives that are lost each year because of underage drinking.

Deadline to enter is April 27, 2012. Go to www.madd.org/powerofyouth to learn more.

Please help MADD, along with presenting sponsor State Farm Insurance, spread the word about this opportunity for teens to get involved in making a difference and possibly even help save the lives of their peers.

Teenagers never seem to understand how dangerous it is to drink and drive. We should all try our best to make them comprehend. So many lives are lost every year due to driving under the influence of alcohol. Let's not worry about what other people think, and let's all make a difference!

We would be happy to work with a teen who wants to film a concept for our iphone app to never get in a car with a drunk driver.... video@auormgroup.co

What a great idea! I will show my youngest daughter this as soon as she comes home from school, I am positive that she will enter! She has firsthand experience, as her oldest sister Abbi passed away in a drunk driving choice... She so strongly advocates no underage drinking, and not drinking and driving...as does my middle daughter! I hope & pray that this will touch many teenage lives!

i am so happy that there is a underage drinking law. because then i know that all underage teens lives will be saved. i just wish they had cyber bullying laws all over the 50 states. so, one one else loose their lives. because every single life is worth saving.
