Responsibility is presented by our video blogger in a dynamic combination of a teen discussion and two moving documentaries.

The first documentary is about a young, irresponsible African American teen in California who decides to turn her life around. One day she looked at her bullying behavior and realized that she was making herself and her classmates miserable. So she decided to focus on her studies while setting her sights on attending college when she is older. The second documentary is about an Asian teen in Rhode Island who is distressed about e-waste. That is computers and other high tech devices that are poisoning our environment. So Alexander and his friends are doing something to correct the problem. They are truly showing social responsibility in action.

In addition there is a Discussion Guide which covers not only the text of the DVD, but also gives the leader before and after viewing the DVD questions, writing assignments, and group activities.
