In this program, psychologists and other experts join students in shedding light on why teens so often take unhealthy risks. Cautionary stories of lives scarred by tragic decisions are balanced by cases of young adults who turned their lives around through changing their behavior. The Youth ChalleNGe Academy, a highly successful military-style academic and mentoring program for select candidates who have dropped out of high school, is profiled. A Discovery Channel Production.
