    So for my Individuals and Families in Society class, we have a project where we present a song+music video to the class that deals with a pressing teen issue. The example the teacher did was the song “Jeremy” by Pearl Jam (Its abou a boy who commit suicide in front of his class.

    So basically, I have some song ideas, but not very many. I was hoping you VuTalers (boy that sounds funny to say) could help me by just naming a few songs that have to do with problems teens and young adults face.

    Ideas I had were:
    Untitled – Simple Plan (About Drunk driving)
    Nothing to lose – Billy Talent (Teen Suicide)
    Runaway Love – Ludacris/Mary J Blige (Um..running away? lol)
    Numb – Linkin Park

    Also, if you guys could stay away from songs about war and such. It hasto be a social issue that is prominent in TEENS! 🙂

    By seriously, I think a good teen emotional song is The Kids Aren’t Alright by The Offspring.

    no no, not at all.
    It can be songs about bullying, the media’s affect on people, eating disorders, etc

    Rx Bandits has tons of songs about social issues.

    Analog Boy – Lots. It talks about how society slams certain images down our throats, like the perfect woman. At the same time, it talks about how modern society is impacting children.

    Sell You Beautiful – I think you can guess what it’s about from the title. Similar to the first half of Analog Boy. The perception of the perfect girl/woman.

    Get – Materialism. Living our lives for clothes, drugs, money, etc.

    There are lots more, just go through a few of their albums.

    Daft Punk’s Prime Time of Your Life also talks about that perfect girl and anorexia. It’s got a very powerful video, as well.
