teacher's guide (38 p.)
SUMMARY: This program broadens the definition of violence for teen
audiences to include many of the things that can cause a violent reaction.
Violence is not just the sensational murders that appear on the front pages

spreading rumors to sexual harassment and bullying. Teen viewers get a
message that they can understand and act on. They hear their peers talk
straight about how subtle and pervasive violence can be, how it starts, how
it escalates and spreads, how to stop it, how to avoid it, and how to break
the cycle that threatens their future. Audience: JSA. BOOKING #
