Synopsis: More than three-quarters of teens between the ages of fifteen and seventeen watch more videos on YouTube than they watch traditional TV, according to the BBC. The online video sharing service has videos about news and pop culture, TV shows, how-to videos, music videos, movie trailers, political and historic speeches, and sports events, among other videos. Celebrities promote their work and businesses advertise their products and services on YouTube. This resource offers teens tips on how they can use YouTube to help with their personal creative endeavors, artistic expression, school-related projects, college applications, job prospects, and personal development.
