#501: Living With Change

As one girl said soon after 9-11, our lives have changed in so many ways, and we wont really know how until the dust settles. In this program, we highlight how teens across the country have responded to and coped with the impact of the ongoing events of the past year. Interviews include: teens who were closest to Ground Zero and have returned to their schools; a teen EMT who volunteered at the site; teens who abused drugs but stopped after 9-11; a girl who lost her step-father, a fireman. Students in California and Colorado also speak out about how they are coping and their hopes for the future. This video is a good starting point to get students to talk about their feelings concerning 9-11 or any other trauma they have experienced. Libraries serving teen, their parents, and adults who work with teens will find a wide audience for this video.  School Library Journal *DVDs are also available on over 50 other topics of critical interest to teens.
