The Dangers of Drug Use Amongst Teenagers
Teen substance abuse is a significant concern in communities nationwide. In this compelling public service announcement created by students at Performing Arts Community School at Diego Rivera, young filmmakers examine this critical issue through three powerful dramatic scenes and provide practical guidance for students facing peer pressure to experiment with drugs or alcohol. The film also offers valuable resources for parents to help their teenagers make healthy choices and recognize warning signs during these challenging developmental years.
This film was created during a Young Moviemakers of America (YMA) workshop conducted in the spring of 2025. This film was created “by kids, for kids.”
