  Teens Warn Teens: Stay Off Drugs. This honest, hard-hitting video shows teens and preteens the real consequences of drug and alcohol use. Teens in a juvenile detention facility tell how they got involved with drugs and talk about the negative consequences of their decisions. Their experiences serve as a warning to others who might choose the same path. The video also includes interviews with teens in a SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) program who have committed to staying clean and sober. In a rare face-to-face meeting, the incarcerated teens and the teens in SADD discuss peer pressure and what it takes to stay away from drugs. The message in A Meeting at the Crossroads is clear: Peer pressure and environment may play a role in drug use, but the issue ultimately comes down to choice. Teens have the power to choose their friends wisely and decide for themselves whether or not to drink and use drugs. An ideal length for any workshop or classroom setting, the video is appropriate for both at-risk and general youth populations. It can be shown in schools, agencies, counseling centers, support groups, and other settings where youth need to hear straight talk on the issues.
