Boston teens have a message to send to Chris Brown in response to the recent apology video he released: your apology is not enough. Teen peer leaders in the Start Strong program decided to speak out as both fans of Chris Brown and young people concerned about the issue of teen dating violence. Check out the response video below, or click here to view the full story. These teens have also created an online petition via Facebook, titled: “A Message to Chris Brown.”
Angels Against Abuse is a student lead club at East High School in Denver, CO. Their mission is to raise awareness about teen dating violence and educate their peers about healthy relationships. The club plans and sponsors a number of awareness events including assemblies, outdoor events, poster campaigns and fundraisers.
They have been featured in educational videos, local media and recently participated in the making of a PSA in collaboration with the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
