You and your friends and classmates can have an effect on irresponsible advertising.
Suggest to your teacher or youth group leader that she or he sponsor a contest to find who can bring in the best and worst ads targeting kids.
Ask that a few minutes at the beginning of each meeting be reserved for discussing and evaluating the ads kids bring in.
To keep it cool for school, limit ads to those found in teen magazines or magazines you could find in the public library.

After the contest, have a letter-writing campaign to influence the companies (and magazines) sponsoring the worst ads.
A POSITIVE SPIN ON THE CONTEST
Do make sure to include great ads in the mix. Then write those companies to signal your total approval!
Advertising responsibly for legitimate, useful, helpful products, services, and organizations is a powerful way to make a positive impact on the world. Ever consider a career in advertising?
