Teach Your Teens About The Dangers Of Drinking And Driving

MADD

Need help to teach your teen about the dangers of drinking and driving? Mothers Against Drunk Driving, MADD, encourages teens to learn why underage drinking is not cool.  Here is a video produced by a high school student that reinforces this idea.

Watch the video at

It is designed to empower teens to say no to alcohol and never get in a car with someone who’s been drinking.  The program also includes a teen-focused booklet, called The 411 on Teen Drinking, which provides teens with this information and more, empowering them to make good choices and resist alcohol.
