Congrats!! Check out these winners!
Congratulations to the winners of the Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence video contest! These gifted students put a lot of hard work and effort into these videos, and they definitely deserve the credit they received. Each video does a great job of discussing one or more aspects of dating violence.
“Somebody Say Something” by Sabrina Morris is a great example of how friends and family can help those who are in abusive relationships. “Run Girl Run” by Courtney Pennington is a great illustration of how difficult and scary life can be while in an abusive relationship. “Make a Difference” by Ciara Gray demonstrates how everyone has rights in their relationships and that everyone has the right to end a relationship. “Somebody Say Something” by Kevin Scott Page shows that abuse is real. Abuse should be discussed and dealt with and not be covered up.
It is great to see how teens are spreading the word about dating violence in their communities. Not only are these teens getting the message out, they are doing it in creative and impactful ways. Think about all the things you like: do you like to act, make videos, sing, write, or play music? Then you can help to end dating violence too! Perform a skit, make a movie, sing a song, write a poem or short story, or play a song, or do something else… there is no limit on your creativity!
We are always eager to hear about what you are doing to end dating violence in your community and would love to hear from you. Also, if you are having trouble coming up with a creative project, talk to us and we will help get started.
