I found all of these videos to be inspiring in some way, even the poorly filmed ones. They each had a voice. A personal story was portrayed, or some deeper message that maybe only someone of the 'teenage' generation may understand. There were many refrences to drugs, alcohol, depression, sex and violence. These are all sensitive topics individuals are exposed to during their teenage years. I have often found that these topics are disregarded or rarely talked about.
One of my favorite videos, was about a gay couple. A man's boyfriend contracted a disease and the hospital was not allowing him to spend the last few hours with his love.
Everyone should hear this story, listen here
The social networking site, Last.fm, allows teens to express how they feel about music. Each artist and song has a profile page and individuals are free to discuss what they feel about the song/artist. Also, I feel that Youtube is a website that allows teenagers to talk back. Just the fact that they can comment about videos. Aside from that, everyone is free to upload any kind of video, you can search whatever floats your boat.
I also came across another video I found inspiring...
Here is the story of a boy and how he came out to the world
