-- Lebanon High School
-- ELCO High School
-- Lebanon Catholic
-- Palmyra High School
The students filmed a scene for our
Stylish Statement Movie, which is shown along with the specially-produced CBS 21 Newscast.
In this scene, the students play a group of teens hanging out at a house before driving to prom. A few of the teens are drinking, while others are not. Throughout the scene, the teens are faced with several peer pressure scenarios, which could have dangerous consequences on their big night.
"We kind of played out a scenario where there's a good influence," says Megan Keller, a Senior at Palmyra High School.
Keller plays the part of a girl who's date is being pressured into drinking, and does her best to change his mind. "And that (peer pressure) happens a lot on Prom night. Someone has to put their foot down, and make the right decisions," adds Keller.
Playing the part of Keller's date is ELCO student Joel Logan. Logan hopes his classmates will take the
Stylish Statement message to heart.
"I
ts just not a very good idea to be drinking and driving," Logan tells CBS 21 News. "People get hurt, and people die. We've just got to look out for each other."I can't wait to see what my friends are going to think," adds Lebanon High School's Josselinne Gonzalez, a sophomore. "To see, wow! They're really putting out a message!"
Unlike the pushy, beer drinking teen she portrays in the
Stylish Statement movie scene, Gonzalez hopes her real-life positive anti-alcohol influnce will keep her friends safe on Prom night.
"You've got to make the tough decisions," says Gonzalez. "And you're friends will look up to you for that!"
