Listen Up! Youth Media Network continued
Here is a video I found on suicide among teenagers. Watching this video made me feel very sad.

When teens talk back to the mainstream media via the Listen Up! space, they really want the viewers to pay attention to what is going on in the world. There are so many different issues that are being explored through the eyes of these teens. One issue is about body image. There is a video posted on this website in which a girl talks about body images in a negative perception. In terms of her negative perception, she talks about bulimia, anorexia, fat-free foods, etc. Most of these videos deal with negative stories just like that one. However, there are positive stories as well that portray teens in a more positive light. Overall, this website is great for teens because they can really express themselves in whatever way they choose to. It is all about their stories and their lives.
